The safety and security of students, staff members, and visitors is the top priority at Jenks Public Schools. A comprehensive Emergency Procedures Guide is distributed to every District employee. Fire drills, severe weather drills, and intruder drills are just a few examples of the measures taken by school sites to prepare students for an emergency. Additionally, Jenks Public Schools maintains its own police department as well as an Incident Management Team (IMT) which can be called into action at any time to assist with emergency preparedness, prevention, recovery, and response. Jenks Public Schools works closely with local law enforcement and regional emergency agencies to address issues related to incident management. At JPS, all students, staff members, and parents should immediately report any suspicious activity or potential threats. All reports are taken very seriously.
