No big deal…just JPS fourth graders taking part in the Tulsa Symphony and Carnegie Hall Link Up: The Orchestra Sings!
Students explored fundamental music concepts and the elements of melody while learning and performing alongside professional musicians at the Jenks High School PAC. A huge thank you to the Jenks Public Schools Foundation for funding this for an unforgettable, hands-on musical experience for our 4th grade students through the Growing Through the Arts initiative. 🎶

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.
