JPS is proud to be part of the greater Tulsa community and on 918 Day, our students and staff welcomed Mayor Monroe Nichols and his team to our District. At East Elementary, students guided the Mayor through Rentie Grove and the rich history of the area. At Jenks Middle School, the Mayor was welcomed by the band and visited several classrooms-Chinese, Science, and AVID-with the help of members of JMS STUCO. Thanks to Mayor Nichols for taking time to visit our campuses! #918Day
Since 2006, AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) classes have helped Jenks students close the opportunity gap and realize their full potential. AVID prepares students to achieve college and career success by building confidence, developing classroom communities, and providing foundational skills to navigate what’s next after high school. Today, on National AVID Day, we recognize our teachers, students, and administrators for shaping the Jenks AVID program into something truly life changing. Last year alone, Jenks AVID students received over $3 million dollars in college scholarship offers! Many AVID students are the first in their family to attend college, and we are so grateful to be one of the many school districts across the country to offer this program! Learn more about AVID at Jenks by tuning in tonight at 6 p.m. on KJRH. AVID teachers and students will be featured as part of the live newscast from Allan Trimble Stadium!
