FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

🐆Good afternoon, Jaguar Family,


What an amazing first week of school! Our students did an outstanding job learning routines, building relationships and beginning a wonderful year of teaching and learning. Thank you, parents and guardians, for your patience, partnership and continued support.


Celebrating Our Academic Success!

Jaguar parents, did you know that Jenkins Elementary achieved an overall accountability score of 86 and earned five out of six academic distinctions from the Texas Education Agency? Yes, that’s right—five out of six!


Our Academic Excellence distinctions include:

• Academic Excellence in Mathematics
• Academic Excellence in Science
• Academic Excellence in Student Progress
• Academic Excellence in Closing the Gaps Among Our Ethnic Groups
• Academic Excellence in Postsecondary Readiness


Here is a closer look at our progress:

Domain 1: Student Achievement

Across all STAAR assessments in grades 3–5, we moved our campus from a D to a C. This year, our goal is to earn a B in this area!


Domain 2: School Progress

Our Domain 2 score increased from an 80 to an 86! Our dedicated intervention time contributed to this progress by allowing teachers to work with students on the individual standards and skills they need to master.

This is one of the many reasons we emphasize daily attendance. Students must be present each day to receive the individualized instruction and support they need.


Domain 3: Closing the Gaps

We earned an 88 in Domain 3, placing us only two points away from an A! The state evaluates our success in this area based on how well we help students across all ethnic groups and student populations achieve at the Meets and Masters Grade Level standards.


TELPAS Progress

More than 85% of our Emergent Bilingual students met their expected one year of growth on TELPAS, allowing Jenkins to earn all four possible points from the state!


Celebrating Our Youngest Jaguars

Our youngest Jaguars also achieved outstanding results!

• Our Prekindergarten team achieved more than 95% in early literacy and numeracy.

• Our Kindergarten through second-grade teams demonstrated High Achievement and High Growth on their district reading and math assessments, with several grade levels earning these recognitions in both subjects!


We will share more details about these accomplishments during Open House. For now, please know that these successes belong to all of us. They are the result of our teachers’ and staff members’ hard work, our students’ commitment to learning and you, our parents and guardians, ensuring that students attend school each day and partnering with us throughout the year.


We are making amazing moves at Jenkins Elementary! Together, we will continue building upon this success as we strive toward our goal of an A by May!


Student Leaders of the Week

We would also like to recognize Dustin, Aiden and Ben from Ms. McKrell’s homeroom class for leading our morning announcements during the first week of school. They did an amazing job! Way to lead, Jaguars!


Rainy-Day Dismissal

On Friday, we had an opportunity to test our rainy-day dismissal procedures and alternative car tags. Thank you for packing your patience as we worked together to get every Jaguar home safely!


On rainy days, some students who normally walk may report to the cafeteria or gym because they associate their rainy-day car tag with that dismissal location. This is especially common among our younger Jaguars as they continue learning their routines. Please review both your child’s regular dismissal plan and rainy-day dismissal plan at home.


To help dismissal move more smoothly, please practice the following with your child:

• Saying their first and last name. After a long summer, some students are more accustomed to being called by their nicknames.

• Memorizing their car tag number. Students are organized in their dismissal areas by car tag number, which helps us maintain order and place them in the correct vehicles.

We also ask that everyone remain calm and respectful when questions or uncertainties arise. Cursing and yelling at staff members are not permitted on our campus. We understand that unexpected situations can be frustrating, but student safety will always remain our highest priority. We win as a team, and we will always do our best to listen and work through any concerns together.


Volunteer Opportunities

We are excited to welcome our families into our school through volunteer opportunities! A volunteer sign-up form will be shared soon.

We encourage every parent and guardian who is interested in volunteering to complete the online Volunteers in Public Schools background check and application. We will need support in several areas, including:

• Classroom parents
• Hallway monitors
• Lunch monitors
• Arrival and dismissal support
• Campus-wide events

The district recognizes volunteers throughout the year, and we track the hours you serve on campus. Incentives are also available for families who volunteer. We would love to have you join us!


After-School Opportunities

Beginning in September, students will have opportunities to participate in a variety of clubs and activities, including:

• Chess
• Cheerleading
• STEM
• Dance
• After-School Enrichment Club

* Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts

We will also offer GAP Clinics for students in grades 1–5. These clinics will provide homework help and targeted academic support designed to meet students where they are and propel them to the next level.


Although the 21st Century program is not available throughout the district this year, our clubs, GAP Clinics and homework-help opportunities will provide additional ways for students to remain engaged, receive support and explore their interests after school.


Saturday School

Our first Saturday School sessions for students in grades 1–5 will be held on:

• Saturday, September 12
• Saturday, September 26
• 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided for all participating students.

We encourage our families to take advantage of these additional learning opportunities. Registration information for volunteering, clubs, GAP Clinics and Saturday School will be included in our next SMORE newsletter.


Now, On to Week Two!

We are excited about another great week of teaching and learning! Please take note of our special dress days:

Wednesday: College and Career Day

Wednesday is College and Career Day across the district. Students are encouraged to wear a college or career T-shirt with jeans or bottoms of their choice. Parents, please encourage your Jaguars to participate as we help them begin thinking about their bright futures!

Thursday: Jaguar Day

Every Thursday is Jaguar Day! Students and staff are invited to show their Jaguar pride by wearing Jaguar-themed attire, including shirts, pants, headbands or animal print.

Friday: Jenkins Spirit Day

Students may wear a Jenkins Elementary or Jaguar spirit shirt with jeans. If your child does not have a Jenkins shirt yet, don’t worry! Our PTO will have spirit shirts available for purchase during Open House in September.

Speaking of PTO, please be on the lookout for information about our first PTO meeting. We encourage all parents and guardians to join. Your involvement and partnership will help Jenkins continue striving toward our goal of an A by May!


Thank you for making our first week nothing short of amazing. We are grateful to serve your children and look forward to another outstanding week with our Jaguars!


Together in Culture, Together in Accountability, Together in Opportunity and Excellence,

DESDE EL ESCRITORIO DE LA DIRECTORA

Buenas tardes, familia Jaguar:


¡Tuvimos una primera semana de clases increíble! Nuestros estudiantes y maestros hicieron un trabajo extraordinario aprendiendo las rutinas, estableciendo relaciones y comenzando un maravilloso año de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Gracias, padres y tutores, por su paciencia, colaboración y apoyo continuo.

¡Celebramos nuestro éxito académico!

Padres Jaguar, ¿sabían que la Escuela Primaria Jenkins obtuvo una calificación general de responsabilidad académica de 86 y recibió cinco de las seis distinciones académicas otorgadas por la Agencia de Educación de Texas? Así es: ¡cinco de seis!

Nuestras distinciones de Excelencia Académica incluyen:

• Excelencia Académica en Matemáticas
• Excelencia Académica en Ciencias
• Excelencia Académica en Progreso Estudiantil
• Excelencia Académica en el Cierre de Brechas entre Nuestros Grupos Étnicos
• Excelencia Académica en Preparación Postsecundaria

A continuación, compartimos más información sobre nuestro progreso:

Dominio 1: Rendimiento Estudiantil

En todos los exámenes STAAR de 3.º a 5.º grado, logramos que nuestro campus avanzara de una D a una C. ¡Este año, nuestra meta es obtener una B en esta área!

Dominio 2: Progreso Escolar

¡Nuestra puntuación en el Dominio 2 aumentó de 80 a 86! Nuestro tiempo dedicado a la intervención contribuyó a este progreso, ya que permite que los maestros trabajen con los estudiantes en los estándares y las destrezas específicas que necesitan dominar.

Esta es una de las muchas razones por las que enfatizamos la importancia de asistir a la escuela todos los días. Los estudiantes deben estar presentes para recibir la enseñanza individualizada y el apoyo que necesitan.

Dominio 3: Cierre de Brechas

Obtuvimos una puntuación de 88 en el Dominio 3, ¡lo que nos dejó a solo dos puntos de obtener una A! El estado evalúa nuestro éxito en esta área según nuestra capacidad para ayudar a los estudiantes de todos los grupos étnicos y poblaciones estudiantiles a alcanzar los niveles de Desempeño Satisfactorio y Dominio del Nivel de Grado.

Progreso en TELPAS

Más del 85 % de nuestros estudiantes bilingües emergentes alcanzaron el crecimiento esperado de un año en TELPAS, lo que permitió que Jenkins recibiera los cuatro puntos posibles otorgados por el estado.

Celebramos a nuestros Jaguars más pequeños

¡Nuestros Jaguars más pequeños también obtuvieron resultados extraordinarios!

• Nuestro equipo de Pre-Kínder alcanzó más del 95 % en lectoescritura y matemáticas tempranas.

• Nuestros equipos de Kínder a segundo grado demostraron Alto Rendimiento y Alto Crecimiento en las evaluaciones distritales de lectura y matemáticas. ¡Varios grados recibieron estos reconocimientos en ambas materias!

Compartiremos más detalles sobre estos logros durante nuestra Noche de Puertas Abiertas. Por ahora, queremos que sepan que estos éxitos nos pertenecen a todos. Son el resultado del arduo trabajo de nuestros maestros y miembros del personal, el compromiso de nuestros estudiantes con su aprendizaje y el apoyo de ustedes, nuestros padres y tutores, al asegurarse de que los estudiantes asistan a la escuela todos los días y al colaborar con nosotros durante todo el año.

¡Estamos logrando avances increíbles en la Escuela Primaria Jenkins! Juntos, continuaremos fortaleciendo este éxito mientras trabajamos para alcanzar nuestra meta de obtener una A para mayo.

Estudiantes líderes de la semana

También queremos reconocer a Dustin, Aiden y Ben, del salón de clases de la Sra. McKrell, por dirigir nuestros anuncios matutinos durante la primera semana de clases. ¡Hicieron un trabajo increíble! ¡Excelente liderazgo, Jaguars!

Salida durante los días lluviosos

El viernes tuvimos la oportunidad de poner a prueba nuestros procedimientos de salida para días lluviosos y las etiquetas vehiculares alternativas. ¡Gracias por mantener la paciencia mientras trabajamos juntos para que cada Jaguar llegara a casa de manera segura!

En los días lluviosos, algunos estudiantes que normalmente caminan a casa pueden dirigirse a la cafetería o al gimnasio porque relacionan su etiqueta vehicular para días lluviosos con ese lugar de salida. Esto es especialmente común entre nuestros Jaguars más pequeños mientras continúan aprendiendo sus rutinas. Por favor, repase en casa tanto el plan regular de salida de su hijo como su plan de salida para días lluviosos.

Para ayudarnos a agilizar la salida, practique lo siguiente con su hijo:

• Decir su nombre y apellido. Después de un verano largo, algunos estudiantes están más acostumbrados a que los llamen por sus apodos.

• Memorizar el número de su etiqueta vehicular. Los estudiantes se organizan en sus áreas de salida de acuerdo con ese número, lo que nos ayuda a mantener el orden y ubicarlos en los vehículos correctos.

También les pedimos a todos que mantengan la calma y sean respetuosos cuando surjan preguntas o situaciones inesperadas. No se permiten las malas palabras ni los gritos hacia los miembros del personal en nuestro campus. Entendemos que las situaciones inesperadas pueden ser frustrantes, pero la seguridad de los estudiantes siempre será nuestra mayor prioridad. Ganamos como equipo y siempre haremos todo lo posible por escuchar y resolver juntos cualquier inquietud.

Oportunidades de voluntariado

¡Nos entusiasma darles la bienvenida a nuestras familias para que participen en las oportunidades de voluntariado de nuestra escuela! Muy pronto compartiremos un formulario de inscripción.

Animamos a todos los padres y tutores interesados en ser voluntarios a completar en línea la verificación de antecedentes y la solicitud del programa de Voluntarios en las Escuelas Públicas. Necesitaremos apoyo en varias áreas, entre ellas:

• Padres voluntarios en los salones
• Monitores de los pasillos
• Monitores durante el almuerzo
• Apoyo durante la llegada y la salida
• Eventos escolares

El distrito reconoce a los voluntarios durante todo el año y registra las horas de servicio en el campus. También existen incentivos para las familias que participan como voluntarias. ¡Nos encantaría contar con ustedes!

Oportunidades después de clases

A partir de septiembre, los estudiantes tendrán oportunidades de participar en diferentes clubes y actividades, entre ellos:

• Ajedrez
• Porristas
• STEM
• Baile
• Club de Enriquecimiento Después de Clases

También ofreceremos Clínicas GAP para los estudiantes de 1.º a 5.º grado. Estas clínicas proporcionarán ayuda con las tareas y apoyo académico específico, diseñado para atender las necesidades actuales de cada estudiante e impulsarlo hacia el próximo nivel.

Aunque el programa 21st Century no está disponible en todo el distrito este año, nuestros clubes, Clínicas GAP y oportunidades de ayuda con las tareas ofrecerán maneras adicionales para que los estudiantes permanezcan involucrados, reciban apoyo y exploren sus intereses después de clases.

Escuela de los sábados

Nuestras primeras sesiones de Escuela de los Sábados para estudiantes de 1.º a 5.º grado se realizarán en las siguientes fechas:

• Sábado 12 de septiembre
• Sábado 26 de septiembre
• De 8:30 a. m. a 11:30 a. m.

Se proporcionarán desayuno y almuerzo a todos los estudiantes participantes.

Animamos a nuestras familias a aprovechar estas oportunidades adicionales de aprendizaje. La información de inscripción para el voluntariado, los clubes, las Clínicas GAP y la Escuela de los Sábados se incluirá en nuestro próximo boletín informativo de SMORE.

¡Ahora, vamos por la segunda semana!

¡Estamos entusiasmados por otra gran semana de enseñanza y aprendizaje! Por favor, tomen nota de nuestros días especiales de vestimenta:

Miércoles: Día de Universidades y Carreras Profesionales

El miércoles se celebra el Día de Universidades y Carreras Profesionales en todo el distrito. Invitamos a los estudiantes a usar una camiseta de una universidad o carrera profesional con pantalones de mezclilla u otros pantalones de su elección. Padres, ¡animen a sus Jaguars a participar mientras los ayudamos a comenzar a pensar en su brillante futuro!

Jueves: Día del Jaguar

¡Todos los jueves celebramos el Día del Jaguar! Invitamos a los estudiantes y al personal a demostrar su orgullo Jaguar usando vestimenta con el tema del jaguar, como camisetas, pantalones, cintas para la cabeza o estampados de animales.

Viernes: Día del Espíritu Escolar de Jenkins

Los estudiantes pueden usar una camiseta de la Escuela Primaria Jenkins o del espíritu Jaguar con pantalones de mezclilla. Si su hijo todavía no tiene una camiseta de Jenkins, ¡no se preocupe! Nuestro PTO tendrá camisetas escolares disponibles para comprar durante la Noche de Puertas Abiertas en septiembre.

Hablando de nuestro PTO, estén atentos a la información sobre nuestra primera reunión. Animamos a todos los padres y tutores a participar. ¡Su colaboración ayudará a Jenkins a continuar trabajando para alcanzar nuestra meta de obtener una A para mayo!

Gracias por hacer que nuestra primera semana fuera verdaderamente increíble. Nos sentimos agradecidos de poder servir a sus hijos y esperamos disfrutar otra semana extraordinaria con nuestros Jaguars.

Juntos en Cultura, Responsabilidad, Oportunidad y Excelencia,
