Third grade students at Southeast Elementary had more than an OK time sharing their learning during an Oklahoma Celebration of Learning. Students showcased biographies of famous Oklahomans, state symbols, and wagons highlighting family history as families joined in the celebration. A great day to be an Okie… and a Trojan!

Because some neighborhood streets and bus stop locations are still too hazardous, Jenks Public Schools is CLOSED tomorrow-Thursday, January 29. Thursday is a traditional snow day. It is not a distance learning day.
Many residential streets and side streets remain snow covered and icy, creating unsafe conditions for our school buses. The safety of our students and staff is always the top priority at Jenks Public Schools.
All Community Education programs are canceled Thursday, and the Early Childhood Center (Little Trojan Academy) will be closed. All activities and athletic events scheduled for Thursday are canceled.
This snow day will have to be made up at the end of the school year. No decisions have been made about Friday.

Jenks High School students got a jolt of innovation! 🚗⚡ Ms. Finch’s environmental science and physical science classes, who have been designing and testing cardboard electric vehicle models, got to explore a real Tesla Cybertruck and chat with a Tesla representative about the future of electric vehicles and careers in STEM. Hands-on learning never looked so cool!

This week, students across the District participated in the Global Hour of AI, exploring coding and artificial intelligence through a single, creative activity. Whether they were beginners or already familiar with coding, every student had the opportunity to jump in and discover something new. Students created games, animations, and stories while strengthening key JPS Portrait of a Graduate attributes, such as thinking critically, communicating effectively, and showing resilience as they worked through challenges. They also gained awareness of high-demand career paths in computer science and AI, where these skills are more important than ever. We’re thrilled to have so many students participate and see what’s possible through coding and AI!
