Jenkins Independent Schools

Preschool had a special surprise in their classroom! Thanks Ms. Erica and Ms. Amber for bringing learning to life!

In Our Proficient Era! 🙂 Thanks to our Save the Children and other staff members that helped deck out the school for the KSA.

The past week we have spent some time celebrating students' hard work. Students in grades K-2 got to "pie" the principal if they scored proficient or distinguished on the Winter MAP test to pump them up for Spring MAP testing. Students in grades 3-5 got to "pie" their principal for scoring proficient or distinguished on the Spring MAP test. Students in grades 3-5 also participated in the Cavalier Games, where 5th grade took home the W winning 3/4 of the games. Burdine is ready to take on all end of year testing!

Preschool students are studying life cycles in action! They are so excited to see them hatch.

Burdine News this week! It is a really important week for our students! Please make sure students are here on time each day, have breakfast, and a good night's sleep. They have worked so hard all year...it is time for them to show it off on the test!

Yesterday's positive office referral was Braxton Potter! Braxton is responsible and kind to classmates. Way to go Braxton!

Fourth grade making waves in Science class with Ms. Wright!

Mrs. Belcher's kindergarten had 100% attendance today and received extra playtime!
