Part of our amazing Family Night on Tuesday included lots of student artwork. "6th Grade Growing Through the Arts" was on display in a dark room with lots of black lights for families to view. The creations were based on work of local artist Rafael Corzo (inspired by his work titled “600 Children”).
This opportunity was made possible for our 6th grade students because of funding from Jenks Foundation.
Our Spring Family Night was a success! Thank you to all the families who were able to attend last night. Luckily, the weather cooperated with us and we were able to fly the kites at lunch today!
This is a FUN FILLED week!
Tuesday, May 7th- Spring Family Night 5:00-8:00 pm

Friday, May 10th- Family Fun Friday
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.
The week of May 6th - May 10th is Teacher Appreciation Week!
Take a look at the ways that PTAG is encouraging us to show our teachers and staff some love and appreciation!

IT IS OFFICIAL!
The Jenks Public Schools Board of Education voted to approve Tuesday, May 28 as the last day of school for the 2023-24 school year. June 3 was the original last day of school on the instructional calendar. Because JPS used only one of the five weather days built into the instructional calendar on January 22, the last day of school for students is shifted from June 3 to May 28. Wednesday, May 29 will be a teacher workday at elementary, intermediate, and secondary sites.
