Final 18-19 Jensen Round-Up Will Be June 9. 1st 19-20 Round-Up will be July 28.
Goodbye & Farewell to 2018-2019!
As the 2018-2019 school year comes to a close, I would like to thank all of our staff who work so hard to each and every day to ensure Jensen Ranch is a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow. We have two amazing staff members, our school psychologist Mrs. Rodgers and our Special Education paraprofessional, Mrs. Burns who are both headed into retirement at the close of this school year. We also need to recognize Mr. Pohyar (Resource), Mrs. Lee (Resource Instructional Assistant) and Mrs. Korysinski (PE) who are all moving forward with new educational goals and plans. While we will miss them, we know they are all ready to embrace the new challenges and opportunities that await them.
We also have some grade level changes. Mrs. Johnson (Gr. 3) will be job-sharing with Mrs. Odell in 1st grade, Mrs. Rodrigues will have a 1/2 combination class and Mrs. Smith is moving up to 3rd grade. Our teachers are already busy preparing and planning for the 2019-2020 school year!
Ms. MacLean, Principal
All Library Books Are Due!
Please remind your children that all library books are due at Jensen. If they are not returned by the last day of school, report cards will be held until the books are returned or paid for if they have been lost. Also, for 5th graders, if they leave Jensen with an overdue library book, it will stay on their account and they will not be able to attend after-school activities at Canyon or Creekside until the books are returned. Notices have been given to the students who have overdue library books.
Thanks,
Virginia Emmons, Jensen Librarian

CONGRATULATIONS JENSEN RANCH! 1ST PLACE @ THE DISTRICT TRACK MEET!
Congratulations to our Jensen Ranch Track Team who claimed victory at the CVUSD elementary district track meet last Wednesday, May 29th! The meet had 8 of the 9 elementary schools competing in running, throwing and field events. Thank you to our athletes and our coaches, Ms. Farquhar and Mrs. Chan for an outstanding season! We also had two students claim district records: Aiden Jeong (Gr. 4-Long Jump) beat the prior record from 1993 of 6' 5.5" with his jump of 6'7" and Colin Huberty (Gr. 5-400 meter run) beat the prior record from 1993 of 1:09.94 (held by our sponsor Joe Willits!) to a fantastic sprint of 1:09:25! Congratulations to our entire team for their hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship throughout the season!

Is All Your Field Trip Paperwork Up to Date?

- Your field trip medical authorization is on file.
- You have a current Megan's Law on file.

If you are unsure, you can check with your teacher or call the Main Office @ 510-537-6365. All paperwork needs to be in place before the field trip! Don't wait for the morning of the trip or your teacher may select an alternate driver for the event.
