I am so pleased to welcome you as a member of the Jenkins Independent School family.  Welcome to the new school year in which I trust you will find a challenging and rewarding academic year.  The year 2012 will mark our 100^th year of providing a quality education for the students of the Jenkins Independent School District.  As a faculty and staff, we have a new commitment to provide you with excellence in all areas.  With the expansion of the course offerings this year, middle and high school students can expect to find something within their areas of interest to participate in.  Offerings include Speech and Drama, Chorus, Art, Music, Academic Team, STLP (student technology leadership program), and upgraded extra-curricular programs that will include baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country, football, golf, marching band, softball, track, volleyball, and wrestling. Students will also find opportunities to excel in areas of strength or “catch up” on areas they may be a bit behind in.  Elementary students will find new and exciting opportunities are in store for them as well through the new “Everyday Math” program.

 

I want to encourage family members to get involved in your students’ education and make an effort to be partners with the school in providing an outstanding educational opportunity for them.  Jenkins Independent School is committed to being student centered and is on the path to excellence.  We need lots of support and commitment from the entire community to help us along our path.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns, complaints or compliments.  I look forward to the upcoming year and know it will be a great one.
