July 28, 2019
Welcome Back Jensen Jaguar Families!
We are just two short weeks away from the start of the 2019-2020 school year! I hope you have had a wonderful summer break and are ready to begin the new year. This is a special school year as we are celebrating Jensen Ranch's 25th year of educating students in Castro Valley!
First things first, the Aeries Parent Portal opens on August 1st and all sections of the online registration must be completed prior to attending our Walk-Through Registration on Wed., Aug. 7th. Please ensure you print out and bring with you the necessary forms as listed on the Registration Checklist which will be one of the online registration forms.
The best way to prepare for the upcoming school year is to ensure you are connected to Jensen Ranch Elementary School. The e-newsletter "The Round-Up" will be sent out weekly on most Sundays during the school year and the mailing list is generated from the primary email address listed in the Aeries Parent Portal. Please notify office staff if you are not receiving the weekly emails and want to be added to the mailing list. The next "Round-Up" will come out Sunday, August 4th and will also be available at the links listed below.
