ANNUAL REPORT


LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT Opportunity is everywhere. At Jenks Public Schools, this is not a clichĂŠ. These are not hollow words. Take one look around our schools and our classrooms, and that is exactly what you will see. Opportunity. From the techniques and tactics of our teachers, to the technology within our walls, the attitude of our employees, and the intricate design details of our buildings, every single facet of our District is dedicated to helping students be their very best. Thanks to the vision of our people and the support of our community, we were able to create numerous opportunities in 2017-18. Northwest Elementary-the first new elementary school in our District in more than 25 years-opened its doors to over 1,000 students. On Central Campus, students gathered for their first meals at the new, state-of-the-art Dining Hall, and at Jenks Middle School, athletes from multiple grade levels practiced and competed on a new, multi-sport turf field and track. Beyond the ribbon cuttings and unveilings of new facilities, there were countless opportunities created each and every day inside our classrooms. It is those opportunities, experiences, and lessons that are so crucial to our mission of preparing learners for a modern, changing world. The opportunities seized here will lead to opportunities in colleges and careers. The opportunities provided at JPS will give students the confidence necessary to solve big problems, exceed expectations, and achieve their dreams. These success stories simply would not be possible without our people. Whether it is sharing a smile as a student boards a bus, implementing new curriculum ideas, mentoring a colleague, teaching students how to program computers, maintaining a facility, or coaching teenagers on how to maximize their potential, our people are difference makers. They are opportunity creators. It is their commitment, their innovations, and their love of learning that allows us to continuously put new opportunities at the fingertips of our students. As you read over the information in this report, you will gain a better understanding of who we are, and why we are so passionate about what we do. Is it a Jenks thing? It most certainly is. Go Trojans!

Stacey M. Butterfield, Ed.D. Superintendent

TEACHER OF

THE YEAR

“She always leads with her heart.” Those are the words of a former student who sat in Amy Greenhaw’s classroom at Jenks High School. The short sentence is one of many compliments directed toward Greenhaw by students and colleagues. A Speech Pathologist turned classroom teacher, Greenhaw was named the 2017-18 Jenks Public Schools Teacher of the Year and was selected as one of 12 finalists for the distinction of 2019 Oklahoma Teacher of the Year. An instructor of Special Education English, Greenhaw is respected by her peers for her dedication and leadership, and loved by her students for her ability to inspire, engage, and create a positive learning culture. The native of Enid, Oklahoma is continuously searching for methods to improve her site and ignite a passion within the teenagers who sit in her class. “The simple answer as to why I do what I do is the students,” Greenhaw remarked. “My students motivate me to be the best teacher I can be. I strive to help them focus on being a better person, learner, and citizen. I want them to know I believe in them. Teaching students who have not been successful in the past and seeing them achieve success in the present, is the ultimate inspiration for me.” Greenhaw, who has spent her entire 16-year career at Jenks Public Schools, is the second straight educator from Jenks High School to be named District Teacher of the Year. Shala Marshall, a Spanish teacher at JHS, received the honor last year. The selection of Greenhaw marks the fifth consecutive year a teacher from JPS has been named a finalist for Oklahoma Teacher of the Year.

OPEN FOR

OPPORTUNITY NORTHWEST ELEMENTARY BECOMES FIRST NEW SCHOOL SITE IN DISTRICT IN OVER 25 YEARS The cutting of the ribbon represented both an ending and a spectacular beginning. On August 10, 2017, the grand opening ceremony for Jenks Northwest Elementary was the culmination of three years of planning, development, and construction. It was also the start of another successful chapter in the rich history of Jenks Public Schools. With a three-story exterior design consistent with the traditional maroon brick style of Jenks Public Schools’ buildings, Northwest Elementary can accommodate up to 1,500 students in the 160,000-square-foot facility. The building is embedded into the hillside off of Elwood Avenue, and features a unique floor plan in which four classroom wings branch out from a central hub of administration and vertical circulation. Two gymnasiums are located at the core of the school and connected by a mezzanine walkway, reinforcing the District’s focus on physical activity and health. In addition to the classrooms, gyms, and cafeteria, the new site includes a STEM Learning Lab, a health clinic, offices, kitchen, and three distinct playground areas with the latest equipment, turf surfaces, and in-ground slides, a creative solution developed to work with the slope of the terrain. “As with all of our major projects at Jenks Public Schools, the completion of Northwest Elementary would not be possible without the support of our community and the vision of our employees,” stated Dr. Stacey Butterfield, Superintendent of Jenks Public Schools. “From the design team to the construction workers, and our staff members, so many people have worked tirelessly to create this truly exceptional school where our students will have every opportunity to thrive and succeed. We are incredibly proud of the work that has taken place here, and we look forward to many years of learning and fond memories for our students and our families.” At a total construction cost of $29 million, Northwest Elementary is the first new elementary school in the District since the opening of Southeast Elementary in 1991. The project was fully funded with the passage of a lease revenue bond in 2015 and enrollment was 1,014 students for the 2017-18 school year. “Northwest Elementary is a remarkable facility, and it is going to be an amazing place for kids to learn and grow,” said Site Principal Lynette Talkington. “I feel so fortunate to be a part of Jenks Public Schools, and I am honored to have this incredible opportunity to serve our students and our staff members.” GH2 Architects served as the design firm and Crossland Construction served as the construction manager on the Northwest Elementary project. Jenks Public Schools would like to extend its sincere thanks to GH2, Crossland, and all those who played a part in taking Northwest Elementary from a vision to reality.



MEETING THE NEEDS OF A

GROWING DISTRICT New construction and renovations took place at many JPS sites in 2017-18

CENTRAL CAMPUS

DINING HALL After nearly 40 years of use, the cafeteria at Jenks High School-built in 1967-could no longer effectively meet the needs of a rising student population. The structure was demolished and in only 15 short months, the new Central Campus Dining Hall was opened on the very same site. The 35,000 square-foot facility includes three large dining areas, a high-capacity server, and the capability of presenting 12 different serving lines at one time. The Dining Hall’s food prep and production area is one-and-ahalf times larger than the previous cafeteria, and the building was designed to handle at least the next 10 years of campus growth. It was constructed in a manner which will allow for future expansion. “The new Dining Hall not only serves as a fantastic facility for our students, but it will be a place for our entire community to gather,” stated Dr. Stacey Butterfield, Superintendent of Jenks Public Schools. “This would not have been possible without the hard work of our construction partners or without the vision of our child nutrition employees, administrators, and other stakeholders. Thanks to the support of our parents and patrons, we are able to create modern, functional spaces which will serve our students for many decades.” KSQ Design, a full-service firm providing architecture, engineering, and interior design, handled the design of the Central Campus Dining Hall, while LD Kerns Contractors, a construction management and general contracting firm located in Jenks, was responsible for the construction of the building.
