Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! I am so excited to be taking this journey with your child.  I am looking forward to a great year of learning and exploration.  This year is going to look and feel a lot different, but that will not change my  teaching style or my expectations. We will still  be engaging in many hands on activities and will be learning through many different learning styles and modalities.  We will be learning a lot, but we will also be having a lot of fun! This is the beginning of my 22nd year in the Milpitas Unified School District.  I graduated with a Bachelor's  Degree in Child Development from San Jose State University.  I also obtained a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from San Jose State University.  Last school year, I obtained my Master's Degree in Early Education with and empahsis on Social Emotional Learning.

I love to hear from parents throughout the year.  Please always contact me with questions or concerns.  I also love to hear from parents if you  are available to volunteer in the classroom or via Google Meet..  Please contact me by email at jgrubaug@musd.org or contact me on ParentSquare.
