2018-19
ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Education is changing quickly and dramatically. Attending school is no longer about simply advancing from one grade to the next. It is more than just sitting in a classroom, reciting a few facts, and passing a test. While those may be components of the student experience, at Jenks Public Schools we have shifted our focus to preparing learners for what happens when they step off the stage at graduation and step into a rapidly evolving workforce. In every grade level at every school site, our administrators, teachers, and support employees are committed to helping students discover their passion and develop the skills they need to form the foundation for a successful future. During the 2018-19 school year, JPS students were introduced to a new, multi-year process aimed at preparing them to become college and career ready. Through the use of ICAP – Individual Career Academic Plan – students in grades 7-12 were able to cultivate their interests by exploring professional pathways and create connections to the community through internships and outreach. At the elementary and intermediate level, an emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking, as well as a partnership with Junior Achievement to create career awareness, has allowed students to gain a better understanding of the jobs of tomorrow. With STEM Learning Labs at every campus, art and music programs available to all students, and a variety of world language offerings, we are continually building career pathways with our courses. Just like we prepare our students for what comes next, as a District, we are always looking to the future to determine what needs to be done to accommodate our growth and our changing student demographics. In 2018-19, the final renovation phase of Jenks High School was completed with a fully redesigned media center, new classrooms, and courtyard to tie the central part of the campus together. With the safety and security of our students and staff members as the top priority, bond dollars were also used in an ongoing process to construct secure entrances in nearly every school building across the District. New buses with internal and external cameras were added to the transportation fleet, and improvements to traffic flow and parking were completed at East Intermediate. The English Language Development program at JPS provided assistance to over 1,500 students and our staff members worked tirelessly to welcome more than 560 immigrant students into our District by creating a safe and friendly environment at our schools to aid in the transition from their home countries. When you flip through the pages of this report, not only will you learn about the incredible achievements of our students and staff members, you will clearly see how answering the question “what’s next?” is shaping all aspects of our approach to education. Thanks to the unwavering support of our community, the generosity of our parents, and the constant drive of our employees to improve, Jenks Public Schools is effectively preparing all learners for productive citizenship in an ever-changing world. Together, we are ready for what comes next. Go Trojans!

“THE STAFF AT JPS IS WONDERFUL AND THE STUDENTS ARE EXCEPTIONAL. THEY ARE SO WONDERFUL TO TALK TO AND HELP MAKE THIS THE BEST JOB EVER. I LOVE WORKING HERE, AND I LOVE BEING A PART OF THE TROJAN FAMILY!” -JEANNETTE FOSTER, CHILD NUTRITION
“Teaching at Jenks is something I don’t take for granted. It is refreshing to teach for a District dedicated to providing students the opportunity to thrive in a developmentally appropriate environment. I am proud to say I teach at Jenks Public Schools.” - Denna Strong, Teacher at Jenks Northwest Elementary “The employees and students are what make Jenks Public Schools a great place to work. I enjoy interacting with everyone throughout the District and hearing stories about their lives. I like the family atmosphere and seeing how different departments work together for a common purpose, the students. I am so thankful to be a part of the Trojan family!” - Kevin Harper, Director Facilities Management “To be honest, I would be thrilled to have any job in this amazing District. From what I observe and hear from other educators, there is just something different about JPS that sets us apart. As an administrator, I love the part of my job where I get to work behind the scenes and really get to know our students and staff on an individual level. It is a constant reminder of why I chose to be in education. I also get to see our great community play a role in our District and notice the direct impact it has on our students.” - Mark Rubey, Assistant Principal at Jenks Middle School

KIRBEY DIETZEL JENKS EAST INTERMEDIATE
2018-19 TEACHER OF THE YEAR Kirbey Dietzel teaches fifth grade math and science at Jenks East Intermediate, but she feels a sense of responsibility far beyond the equations and experiments.
“I don’t teach just so students can understand facts and figures,” Dietzel stated. “I want to help them discover who they are as people. Most importantly, I want to show them love and acceptance so they believe that they can achieve their goals.” In her sixth year in the classroom, Dietzel was named the 2018-19 Jenks Public Schools Teacher of the Year and was selected as one of 12 finalists for the distinction of 2020 Oklahoma Teacher of the Year. A native of Shawnee, Oklahoma, and a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, Dietzel takes exceptional pride in creating the best possible learning environment for each one of her students. “When I see students who engaged in learning and students who are excited for what comes next, it truly breathes life into my career,” remarked Dietzel. “I draw so much energy and motivation from my students. I want to do everything I possibly can to help each one of them succeed.” Dietzel believes education is the cornerstone of a community’s strength, and throughout the past year, she was honored to serve as a representative for Jenks Public Schools - and the teaching profession - in front of elected officials, colleagues, and media members from across the state. Her selection marks the sixth consecutive year a teacher from JPS has been named as a finalist for Oklahoma Teacher of the Year.
ADDING TO THE TROJAN TRADITION NOTABLE EVENTS, PROGRAMS, AND AWARDS FROM THE 2018-19 SCHOOL YEAR
In May, Jenks West Elementary celebrated the 20th anniversary of its partnership with Grace Living Center and the intergenerational early childhood program. Pre-K and kindergarten students learn in classrooms located inside the nursing home creating an environment in which young and old form mutually beneficial relationships. Students and residents connect through reading together, arts and crafts, gardening, ice cream socials, and a variety of other activities. Jenks was the first school district in Oklahoma to develop an intergenerational program.
The Trojans captured 6A State Championships in Boys Swimming and Boys Soccer. In the pool, Jenks earned its second title in the last three years and the 18th championship in program history. On the field, the Trojans capped off an undefeated season with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Union to seal the sixth state title in program history and the first since 2006. Head Coach Eric Marshall was named District Coach of the Year and junior Will Edwards was honored as the 2019 Gatorade Oklahoma Boys Soccer Player of the Year. The Boys Soccer squad finished a remarkable season ranked #2 in the nation.
Little Free Library, a nonprofit organization seeking to build community by inspiring a love a reading, selected East Elementary as the location for its 75,000th free book exchange. In a ceremony with the Little Free Library founder and president, Todd Bol, East Elementary received a book exchange box, an engraved post, 150 free books, and a monthly supply of books for the entire school year.
Dr. Stacey Butterfield was named the 2019 Oklahoma Superintendent of the Year by the Oklahoma Association of School Administrators.
As part of the social studies curriculum at East Intermediate, students participated in an immigration panel in front of their classmates. They shared stories of first-hand accounts of coming to America while also discussing the “push” and “pull” factors that led their families to make critical decisions about their future.
COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
ICAP AT JENKS PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Individual Career Academic Plan (ICAP) provides multiple opportunities for students to become college and career ready by cultivating interests, exploring academic and professional pathways, and deepening connections to the community through outreach and community service.
WHY IS THE ICAP IMPORTANT? By 2025, three out of four jobs in Oklahoma will require education or training beyond high school. When a student engages in the ICAP process, they are able to gain a better understanding of how their unique talents might fit with an in-demand career. In addition, students learn what kind of academic preparation and hands-on experiences are necessary to open the doors to future success.
WHAT DOES ICAP LOOK LIKE AT JPS? ICAP is not one class or a single experience. For students in grades 7-12, ICAP is a journey. As students move through Jenks Middle School and Jenks High School, they will collect information and create items to include in an e-portfolio. These items may include resumes, reflections, surveys and/or test results, and information about career pathways. Activities are intended to equip each student with the awareness, knowledge, and skills to create a meaningful exploration of college and career opportunities. The ICAP e-portfolios change over time to reflect the students’ changing aptitudes, interests, and growth. The financial support of the Jenks Public Schools Foundation has enabled JPS to expand these services to students at a more rapid pace.
BY COMPLETING A MEANINGFUL ICAP PROCESS, STUDENTS: • • • • •
Connect education to future goals Create course plans to pursue career and life goals Strategically select pathways to align with college, career, and life goals Establish better communication and engagement between school and home Understand and demonstrate career exploration and career planning
Jenks Middle School partnered with Junior Achievement of Oklahoma to bring all eighth grade students to Oral Roberts University as part of the JA Inspire Career Exploration Fair. The event allowed students to experience and explore various career opportunities in many of Tulsa’s high-demand industries, and complemented the newly established ICAP - Individual Career Academic Plan - process in which students become college and career ready.
Every student in the JHS Class of 2019 attended the first JHS Senior Conference - a full-day seminar with a variety of sessions aimed at preparing students for what comes after high school. Speakers from a variety of community organizations, businesses, and educational institutions shared their insights with the seniors, and sessions focused on topics such as applying to college, networking, managing social media, personal finance, and many more.
“Through the classes at Jenks and the internship I had, I got hands-on experience in what I wanted to pursue before I even graduated. My first step off the stage at Commencement was already my thousandth step toward entering the STEM field I want to work in.” - Pedro Lugo, JHS Class of 2019, aspiring nuclear engineer
