During her latest site visit, Dr. Butterfield got a glimpse of the learning happening at the Alternative Center, from exploring the power of surface tension in Mr. Sweeney’s Earth Science class to connecting literature and history through student artwork in Dr. Hall’s English class. She wrapped up her visit in Mr. Berkinshaw’s World Travel class, where students shared the places around the world they hope to visit someday. Each stop offered a different look at our students learning, creating, and sharing their ideas. We love seeing all the great things happening at the Alternative Center! Thanks for an awesome morning, JAC!

What’s next? The Jenks High School Class of 2027 spent the day exploring that question at the PrepYou Senior Conference at OSU-Tulsa. Seniors kicked off the day with an inspiring message from Jenks Middle School Principal Victoria Vargas before heading to campus to learn about college, careers, and life beyond high school. With so many paths ahead, PrepYou gave our students the chance to ask questions, gain new perspectives, and start thinking about where their own journey might lead. Thank you to the Jenks Public Schools Foundation and all of the speakers, volunteers, and community partners who made this experience possible for our seniors! 🎓➡️

Take a glimpse into the incredible things happening at Jenks Middle School during Dr. Butterfield’s site visit this morning!

We started in Ms. Kaufmann’s Intro to Stage Makeup & Costume class, where students were learning to sew buttons and use sewing machines. From there, we joined Mr. Ratliff’s science class outdoors to explore plant and animal reproduction and the conditions needed for growth. Along the way, we even spotted tiny wild strawberries beginning to grow!
Next, we visited Mr. Blakley’s social studies class in the library, where students were playing a silent UNO game designed to simulate cultural differences and communication barriers. We wrapped up in Mr. Brown’s Vocal Music class with a sneak peek of the 8th grade musical, Shrek Jr.

Before heading out, we also admired student-designed bookmarks that will soon be available for students to pick up when checking out library books.

Thank you, JMS, for welcoming us into your classrooms and sharing all the incredible things happening across your site!

Mrs. Gregory ensures that students with moderate behavior and academic needs for reading and math are included in gen ed every day for science and social studies. The gen ed teacher, Mrs. Schrack, has so many inclusive things in her room and welcomed my child kindly at Meet the Teacher. I can tell Mrs. Cheatwood is great, too, because my son is loving science this year! There is not a more supportive or inclusive building than JWI. The building is leading the way on how to include our students on IEPs." Not pictured amanda cheatwood
photo of rebecca orland in her classroom at jenks middle school. text on the photo says Rebecca Orland at Jenks Middle School "My daughter transferred last year from a small school, coming into 8th grade at JMS. She has always struggled with math, and in her 7th grade year, there was not a lot of hands-on learning from the school she previously attended. When she arrived at JMS, she felt behind and she was afraid to look dumb in front of others her age in math class. I reached out to Ms. Orland and explained the situation in more detail. She made sure my daughter sat close to someone who knew what was going on from the get-go, had her come in during WIN time if she noticed that she struggled, and helped her as much as possible outside of the classroom, as she did inside the classroom. By the end of her 8th grade year, the person Ms. Orland had originally seated her by to get help and guidance from, she was helping as well, and others. Had it not been for Ms. Orland being so helpful, supportive, and encouraging, she would have continued to struggle and not be as confident. This year, going into freshman year, she obviously has concerns, but now she knows how to face them head-on and how to ask for help before it’s too late. We thank you, Ms. Orland. You went above and beyond, and it made a huge impact."
A spirited start to Homecoming! Jenks Varsity Cheerleaders were at every elementary site this morning to greet students with smiles and high-fives. We ❤️ to see Trojans leading by example and setting the tone for what will be a memorable day across our entire JPS community. Thank you, JVC!
