REMINDER ⚠️
Monday, February 16, is a Professional Day for JPS employees, and there is NO SCHOOL. Enjoy the three-day weekend, Trojans!
It was a musical day at East Elementary as Symon Hajjar of Hot Toast Music Co led kindergarteners in a hands-on songwriting experience. Students used repetition and imagination to create playful melodies, working together to bring each one to life! 🎹🎶
Growing Through The Arts creates unique experiences in the arts for pre-k through 11th grade students, whether that be observing at an art museum, engaging with the Tulsa Ballet, or even exploring at the Discovery Lab. Each grade will have a different experience engaging in the arts as they grow. Thank you to the Jenks Public Schools Foundation for funding this initiative for all Trojans!
These exceptional educators were nominated by colleagues on their respective JPS campuses in recognition of the meaningful relationships they build with students, the guidance they provide to fellow staff members, and the creativity they bring to their classrooms. Each of these teachers consistently reflects the mission, vision, and core values of Jenks Public Schools. Together, they represent unwavering champions for students and for public education. Our community is incredibly fortunate to be supported by teachers like these—educators whose dedication and passion help shape and inspire the next generation of leaders.
A brief visit to any one of their classrooms quickly reveals both their instructional expertise and their genuine love for teaching. They lead with compassion, remain committed to growth, and set the standard for what families hope to find in a teacher. Through their daily work, they elevate the profession and exemplify excellence, and we are honored to recognize them as our Site Teachers of the Year.

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.

Although main roads have drastically improved over the past few days, we must be able to ensure safe transportation and safe access to our school campuses for students, staff, and visitors. These decisions are not made lightly. We understand extended school closures are difficult for some families, but we will continue to prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
