GT at JSD: Planning Meaningful Goals Together
Supporting gifted learners means understanding their strengths, interests, and individual needs. At JSD, each identified GT student has an Advanced Learning Plan, or ALP, to guide their learning and growth.
Last week, Mr. Calvadores emailed GT families and invited parents to help plan their child’s ALP goals for this school year. Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 2, he will be available from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. to meet with parents.
We know our students are busy, so the goal is to create ALP goals that are meaningful, challenging, and achievable. Parent input is an important part of making sure each plan truly supports the student.
Please contact Mr. Calvadores at [calvadores_pa@julesburg.org] if you have questions or would like to meet.

Matching pairs…and socks?!🧦
Today’s kindergarten math was a total joy: we matched like pairs and then looked around to see who wore matching socks (and who didn’t!) 😉Tiny hands, big smiles, and playful learning everywhere. ✨👧👦

Mrs. Sanabria visited our kindergarten class to teach Character Strong lessons on kindness and respect. Our students worked hard, talked about what kindness looks like, and created a classroom Kindness Contract — signed by every child — promising to show respect and help one another. ❤️
Parent-Teacher Conferences are a critical opportunity to be an active participant in your child’s education. Attending gives you direct time with teachers to ask questions about classes, curriculum, grades, and classroom behavior. Most importantly, it allows you and the teacher to team up and build the best strategies to support your student. Partnering with educators ensures your child receives the best learning experience possible and sets them up for long-term academic success.

A Big Win for the Julesburg School District! We’re an Attendance Challenge Champion!
🔢 Place Value Aerobics! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Have you ever learned what a digit is—or what standard form and expanded form mean? Our second graders are becoming place value pros as they learn numbers all the way to 1,000! 🎉
Today, we got moving with Place Value Aerobics! Students had to recognize a number, head to the front of the room, and show that number in different ways: expanded form, the way we say it, and standard form, the way we write it.
Learning math doesn’t always mean sitting at a desk! We’re getting our brains and bodies moving while building those place value skills. 💪🧠📚
