Help Celebrate UCSD Teachers - Share Your Appreciation

In celebration of National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 8 – 12, we’d like to invite UCSD parents, guardians, alumni, and community members to share thoughts on video about a current UCSD teacher(s) who has made a positive difference in your child’s life and/or your own life. We’re hoping to compile many short videos as a wonderful way to remind our teachers how much they are appreciated and valued. Videos will be shared online (social media, website, etc.) during Teacher Appreciation Week. If you would like to participate, please review the following.

Option 1: Submit Your Own Video

Keep your video to a maximum of 1 minute (60 seconds)
If using your phone to record the video, please turn your phone horizontal when recording (not vertical)
Make sure you are in a well-lit area, no background noise, and your voice is able to be captured well with the device you are using
Email Dena Claire claired@urbandaleschools.com, UCSD Communications Manager, when your video is ready; Dena will then send you a link to a Google Folder to upload your video(s)
Video content will be reviewed and anything deemed inappropriate will render the video unusable in its entirety
Videos must be received by 11:59 p.m. April 3, 2023

Option 2: Schedule Time For District To Record Video

We’re happy to help record your thoughts on video; please email Dena Claire claired@urbandaleschools.com to schedule a time (we can also arrange for a translator)
Videos may be recorded at your child’s school (if your child is currently a student) or at the District Administration Office 11152 Aurora Avenue (whichever is most convenient for you)
Maximum video length is 1 minute (60 seconds)
Video content will be reviewed and anything deemed inappropriate will render the video unusable in its entirety
Videos will be scheduled February 27 – March 10 and March 20 – April 3, 2023
