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.
School will start 45 minutes late at ALL JPS sites this morning. All morning bus routes will run 45 minutes later than normal. Intermediate sites will begin at 8:30 AM. Elementary sites will begin at 9:15 AM. Middle School, Freshman Academy, and High School will begin at 10:00 AM. School will end at the normal time this afternoon.
Things were heating up in the Jenks High School dining hall this afternoon. 🔥🍗 JHS principals and teachers lined up to do the Hot Ones chicken wing challenge to fundraise for the Jenks StuCo Dub Week mental wellness initiative. Students rallied together to raise enough money to up the heat of the hot wing to the spiciest sauce available. And honestly, they crushed it (all while dressed up as their favorite decade!)

Art students at Jenks High School made these stunning drawings and paintings for the recent Create For A Cause event to benefit Building All Children. Our friends at TTCU Federal Credit Union purchased these pieces and then donated the art back to the students. Proceeds from the sale of the artwork will be used by Building All Children to assist families and students with literacy needs. Amazing stuff, Trojans!
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.
Congrats to JHS senior, Alex Lein, on winning the pin design contest for the 2024 Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference! Alex, a talented graphic designer, used skills acquired in Foundations of Web Design class at JHS and the Multimedia Design class at Tulsa Tech to create the winning pin design based on the conference location of Chicago, Illinois. Pins with her design will be produced and distributed to every conference attendee. Alex has seized the opportunities offered at JHS and Tulsa Tech to create a career pathway, and she is well on her way to an incredible career in the design industry. Way to go, Alex!
