Don't forget, JEE Seniors! We can hardly wait to hear all about your adventures through JPS and what's next for you. Come ready to visit with your good ol' teachers!
Jenks teachers are life-changers. Sure, they are preparing lessons and helping students understand concepts, but the job is so much more. They are encouragers, mentors, advocates, and listeners. They believe in your kids. What JPS teachers do for our community and our world cannot be understated or adequately summarized here. You know and understand the true significance of what these remarkable professionals have done for your child. Please join us in celebrating and appreciating our incredible educators, as well as our principals, counselors, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, child nutrition workers, and all support personnel, for answering the call every day and making a difference for the next generation.

This morning, members of the JPS Board of Education and administrators stepped into classrooms and media centers for an inside look into our school sites' learning and outstanding educational programs. Each stop was tied into the attributes and characteristics of the Portrait of a Graduate framework.
Highlights from the Spring Board Showcase include communicating and collaborating with grands in Jenks West Elementary's multiage program at Grace Skilled Nursing & Therapy, supporting students learning through multi-tiered systems of support at the Jenks Freshman Academy, developing POG attributes at the Jenks Alternative Center, exploring music with the Little Trojan Academy, and practicing effective communication and service learning in the community at Jenks East Elementary. Thanks to all the principals, teachers, and staff members who made this showcase possible!
Hats off to these incredible ladies! Our JEE Trojan family appreciates all the efforts of our administrative assistants. Thank you to each of you for working tirelessly to support our students, staff, and families! We love you all!

The 9th grade Family and Consumer Science class came to enjoy an afternoon of STEM projects with Mrs. Yang's 3rd Grade Dual Language homeroom! We created "gadgets, gizmos, and doohickys" just like Rosie Revere, Engineer, and we had a contest to see who had the longest marble run (time-wise). It was a fun afternoon!

IT IS OFFICIAL!
The Jenks Public Schools Board of Education voted to approve Tuesday, May 28 as the last day of school for the 2023-24 school year. June 3 was the original last day of school on the instructional calendar. Because JPS used only one of the five weather days built into the instructional calendar on January 22, the last day of school for students is shifted from June 3 to May 28. Wednesday, May 29 will be a teacher workday at elementary, intermediate, and secondary sites.
Enjoy your break and we will see you on Monday!
Even our youngest Trojans are professionals at student led conferences. These pre-kindergarten students know exactly what they want to showcase to their loved ones, the progress they have made throughout the year and goals they have set for themselves. We are proud of these leaders! Way to go, Trojans!
