📚 Important Update for Kindergarten and First Grade Families!
Under Senate Bill 240, our school will use the MAP Universal Screener to help measure early reading progress for Kindergarten and 1st Grade students. These assessments will take place during the final 14 instructional days of the school year and help ensure students are prepared for the next grade level.
Student placement decisions will be based on reading benchmarks and readiness for the next grade, helping us provide the support each child needs to succeed.
Parent-Teacher conference notes were sent home with 2nd term progress reports. Teachers will continue reaching out to families to discuss your child’s progress. 3rd term progress reports will go home March 24th at Family Night.
If you have questions, please contact your child’s teacher. Together, we can support every student’s success! 🍎📖

For the first time in school history, 100% of Jenkins High School students have officially completed their Individual Learning Plans (ILPs)!
This isn't just a checked box on a list; it means every single one of our students has a mapped-out plan for their future. From career goals and college prep to resume building, our Cavaliers are officially ready for what comes after graduation. 🎓✨
Why this matters: The ILP is a roadmap for success. Reaching 100% shows the incredible dedication of our students and the relentless support of our faculty and guidance department who made sure no student was left behind.
We are so proud of our students for taking charge of their futures and setting a new gold standard for Jenkins High School!

Standing tall and speaking with confidence, Leah did a fantastic job representing her school and her fellow students. It’s not every day a second grader takes the floor at a board meeting, but Leah handled it like a pro.
Way to go, Leah! We are so proud of the leader you are becoming. ✨
Others make it their life’s work.
After 42 years in education, Mrs. Sally Hubbard has closed an incredible chapter of service, and Jenkins Independent School District has been better because she chose to spend part of that journey with us.
Over the years, she did far more than teach high school science. She invested in young people. She challenged them to think. She encouraged them when they needed confidence. She showed up, consistently and faithfully, in ways that don’t always make headlines but absolutely shape lives.
Experience like hers is rare. Four decades in the classroom brings wisdom you can’t replicate overnight. But beyond her knowledge and professionalism, what stands out most is the way she cared for students.
She helped create an atmosphere where students felt supported and valued. Through her involvement with Bible Club and her everyday interactions, she quietly influenced the culture of our school in positive and lasting ways.
Education is not always an easy calling. It requires patience, strength, and heart. Mrs. Hubbard carried all three with grace.
As we recognize her retirement, we simply want to say thank you, for the time, the commitment, the leadership, and the countless unseen moments that made a difference.
Mrs. Sally Hubbard leaves behind more than lesson plans and lab materials. She leaves behind a legacy of steady influence and lives touched.
Congratulations on your retirement, Sally. Jenkins will always be grateful for the years you gave to our students and this community.
