GOAL SETTING CONFERENCES!
In response to parent feedback regarding student progress and communication, Urbandale Elementary Schools will be hosting fall conferences focused on setting goals for the year. This week Fall conferences around the Urbandale elementary schools will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 16th and Thursday, Oct. 18th from 4-8pm. Our Jensen staff are very excited to talk with everyone.
Here at Jensen we are very excited families will receive progress information earlier in the year than in the past, so we can work together as a team to meet the learning, behavior, and social/emotional goals of our students! Please note that due to the timing of our first conference you will not be receiving your child's progress report (report card) at conferences as you have in the past. Instead, your child and their teacher will share your child's successes, growth, and goals as s/he continue to progress this year. Then, after the end of our first trimester, progress cards will be shared.
Lastly, the book fair will be going on in the media center. Be sure to stop by and purchase some books to support those reading goals and celebrate a great conversation with your student's teacher.
Congratulations Jensen Superheroes!
Lots of positive things happening around Jensen. Adults are recognizing students for using their superpowers of KINDNESS, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, SAFETY, and LEARNING by handing out leadership tickets. Tickets are then collected in each room and a random name is drawn at the end of the week for a certificate and superhero bracelet. Congratulations to this week's winners!
What to wear outside?
Happy fall!
