We want to remind all students and families that we'll be returning to in-person instruction tomorrow, October 11, 2021. Please remember to bring your device to school with you, along with your charger. Can't wait to see you!
Tomorrow, from 1:30-6:30, here at school, we're having a FAFSA workshop to help seniors and their parents complete the FAFSA. The student, a parent or guardian and proof of 2020 income is all you need. We will have a K.H.E.A.A. representative here to help us as well.
October 11th through November 12th, the Jenkins FRYSC along with the Jenkins Middle/High School Leadership Team and the UNITE Club will be conducting a food drive. The food drive will aid our students, their families, and our Jenkins community during the holiday season. Each grade level is challenged with collecting different food items but any non-perishable food items are appreciated. Please make sure items are not out of date. There will be a prize for the most items collected by grade level. Thank you for your support of our school and students.

6th Grade: Canned Soup/Ramen

Today's the day! The FAFSA (Free Application For Federal Student Aid) opens. Be sure to get those 2020 income taxes out or proof of 2020 income and fill out your FAFSA.

We will be having a KHEAA workshop here at school on Thursday, October 7th, 2021 at 1:20pm and 6pm for anyone that would like to come and get help. You don't have to fill out the FAFSA at school. You can fill it out at home. Make sure you make an FSA ID to electronically sign the FAFSA. Both the student and one of the parents/guardians will need an FSA ID.
