Parent Report Card Pick Up will provide families with an opportunity to meet the teachers in-person or virtually and hear about how their child is doing and how we can better partner to support their needs.

This year, Jungman is working on an initiative to have every student set goals around attendance, grades and assessments. As part of this, all teachers and administrators at Jungman have a group of students who they are meeting with 1:1 to talk about these goals and how students can work to achieve them. The assigned teacher will touch base with the students throughout the year on these goals. Many of these conversations have happened over the past week. IF your child did not work on their goals yet, they will have them done in coming days.

Please take the opportunity to talk to your students about their goals as well. A lot of our goals center on fact fluency for math and reading comprehension which requires practice at home!

This year, we are closely monitoring student attendance with the goal of reducing the rate of chronic absenteeism from its current 39%—which is 10% above the state average—down to 15%.

This was a rough week for attendance! As students are just starting 2nd quarter, let's make sure they are here, on-time, and ready to learn!

If your child is having issues with attending school regularly, please reach out to Ms. Sarah VanWolvelear at sevanwolvelear@cps.edu immediately to discuss supports and a plan!

Dear parents/guardians: In an effort to increase family engagement and involvement, we will continually share upcoming volunteer opportunities through the family bulletin.

To volunteer to support, parents/guardians must be CPS-Approved volunteers. Below, please find the application to become a CPS-approved volunteer. If you click on the button above you will have access to see and sign up for the different volunteer opportunities.
