In compliance with Section 1111(b)(2)(H) of ESSA, Jones Public Schools would like to provide community stakeholders with an opportunity to provide meaningful input regarding our district’s intent to request permission to administer the ACT in lieu of the statewide assessment. Our district selection for the College & Career Readiness Assessment to be administered to all grade 11 students during the OSTP testing window is the ACT. Please provide any thoughts and feedback on this selection to Curtis Moses at cmoses@joneshs.k12.ok.us or Mike Watkins at mwatkins@joneshs.k12.ok.us

JHS students who did summer concurrent enrollment or received college credit for Boys State or Girls State: Make sure you provide Mr. Moses with copy of your college transcript with those courses.

Just a reminder that most tribal scholarships will pay for concurrent enrollment.
