Be honest, parents. Time is moving too fast, and your son or daughter is about to hit that milestone of starting kindergarten. It's exciting, but also a bit overwhelming - especially for those students who are entering a classroom environment for the first time. No worries, mom and dad. We've got you covered. The JPS website has answers to your most common questions about what to expect in kindergarten.

We will use your feedback to set goals for our upcoming school year. Please click below to take a short 3 question survey. Thank you for your feedback!

Jenks teachers are life-changers. Sure, they are preparing lessons and helping students understand concepts, but the job is so much more. They are encouragers, mentors, advocates, and listeners. They believe in your kids. What JPS teachers do for our community and our world cannot be understated or adequately summarized here. You know and understand the true significance of what these remarkable professionals have done for your child. Please join us in celebrating and appreciating our incredible educators, as well as our principals, counselors, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, child nutrition workers, and all support personnel, for answering the call every day and making a difference for the next generation.
Some of our NWE 3rd graders entered into a flood safety contest to help promote the NOAA National Weather Service "Turn Around Don't Drown" campaign. Students learned about flood safety and created artwork that visually represents flood safety procedures. The Oklahoma Floodplain Managers Association (OFMA) recognized 3 of our 3rd graders for their entries. One of our student's artwork will be featured in the annual OFMA calendar! Congratulations to our NWE students!
Junior Achievement volunteers visited NWE 3rd and 4th grade classrooms last week to help our students make connections between what they are learning at school to life outside of the classroom. Our volunteers taught our students about entrepreneurship and lessons focused on financial literacy. Thank you JA! @ja_oklahoma
