Due to winter weather, tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11, will be an NTI Day. Student work has been provided either in packets or online. Teachers will be available to answer questions by school email or through Rooms in the JIS app.
Our goal is to keep students learning while not causing extra stress. Please use the day to stay safe and warm, and we look forward to seeing everyone back at school soon.
Also! Attendance incentive coming next week! Thanksgiving Break soon!
We want to give a huge shout-out to all the Jenkins High School students who took advantage of the SAT testing opportunity this past Saturday! 🎉
We are proud to report that the administration went smoothly, and spirits were high among our students following the test! To celebrate their hard work, students enjoyed free snacks and pizza in the Cav Café afterward. 🍕
JHS is committed to giving our students extended opportunities to gain experience and confidence with college admissions tests!
Proud of the proactive approach our students are taking toward college and career readiness! 🎓
