Welcome to Kindergarten!

My name is Jasmina Gracanin (Grah-cha-nin) and I am very excited to be your child’s teacher this school year! This is my second year teaching! I am from Urbandale (Go J-Hawks!) and graduated from Iowa State University with a B.S. in Elementary Education and endorsements in English and Reading! When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling and reading.

Open and effective communication is crucial for fostering a positive and productive learning environment. I believe that a strong partnership between home and school is key to helping your student reach their potential! Throughout the year, I encourage you to share any insights or concerns you may have about your child’s experiences. Please feel free to reach out to me via email, school phone, or Parent Square with any questions or updates! I will also keep you informed about classroom activities and upcoming events per our newsletter as well as your child’s progress!

Together, we can create a supportive environment that helps your child thrive personally and academically. I am looking forward to an amazing year with your child and cannot wait to watch them blossom!
