Raquel Jensen
Adams Elementary
Executive Secretary
Raquel helps keep us all on the same page. She knows the answer to most, if not all managerial type questions and works diligently with teams for updating class counts, transitioning materials when new students arrive/leave, supports teacher who are responsible for ordering materials, as well as place small PTO order throughout the school year. She makes copies, helps organize Wednesday folder materials, updates red emergency folders, dispatches calls when teachers call the office for administrative help with a student. She is a friendly face in the office ad has a calming presence when students are in the office.
Raquel is the "queen" of Adams. She is always willing to answer questions and help out. Raquel is well respected by her coworkers and works very well to help the students who come into the front office. It's rare that Raquel doesn't know the answer to something, but she isn't afraid to ask for help if she doesn't. She has been so welcoming to me in my first year at Adams and is always patient answering my questions and explaining things to me that I don't understand right away. Her bilingual skills have come in so handy to help in the health office when we have a Spanish-speaking student who isn't feeling well. These students immediately seem more at ease when Raquel speak to them and ask questions about how they are feeling in their first language. Raquel is patient and kind and 100% a team player. I am so blessed to know her and work with her.
