These professionals are teaching character traits, tackling challenges alongside teachers and staff, and providing unmatched care and compassion for all students. Our schools wouldn't be the same without them! #NationalSchoolCounselingWeek

Each semester, administrators, JPS Board of Education members, and community representatives visit different sites to experience learning in the classroom and progress in our District. Today's focus throughout the Fall Board Showcase was to make connections throughout the District to the Portrait of a Graduate framework. Some highlights included problem-solving at Jenks West Intermediate, learning how to effectively communicate emotions at Jenks Northwest Elementary, CareerTech programming through agricultural education and STEM at Jenks Middle School, and collaborative project-based learning at Jenks East Intermediate. Thanks to all the principals, teachers, and staff members who made this showcase possible!

Dr. Butterfield was serenaded by Mr. Brown's 7th grade Vocal Music students, sat in on DNA trait research presentations, and was introduced to Mr. Ratliff's leopard gecko, Dread! Her last stop was in Mr. Ford's 8th grade US history class where students shared their artwork on what life in the colonies was like. Thank you, teachers, for having us in your classrooms today!
Wasn't the first day of school yesterday? Enjoy your fall break, Trojans. We'll see you on Monday!
