JPS Students in 7-11th grade: See this information about Summer Camps put out by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education: Students that are now in 7th through 11th grade need to find an academy that interests them and apply. This is a wonderful opportunity for students who think that college isn’t for them; these are hands on, fun-filled academies. Students will find out that STEM is exciting and fun! There are commuter and residential academies-they will get to experience what college is like. The institutions will contact the students who are accepted. https://secure.okcollegestart.org/High_School_Planning/Summer_academies/summer_academies.aspx

JHS STIUDENTS: THE EASTERN OKLAHOMA ROTARY CLUB IS SPONSORING THEIR ANNUAL ROTARY YOUTH LEADERSHIP CAMP. IF INTERESTED PLEASE CLICK ON LINK FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO COMPLETE APPLICATION. IF YOU APPLY PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL PUT YOU IN CONTACT WITH OUR LOCAL POINT OF CONTACT. July 7-11, 2021 APPLICATIONS Please have students go to www.leadernu.com/eRYLA/d5750 to fill out the application. On this page, there is also a video for them about eRYLA as well as more information. To access the application, they should click the “APPLY NOW” button. Once they’ve submitted the application, they will receive a confirmation email. Applications officially open this week. If you’re wondering if students want to go to a virtual camp, I can tell you that the other districts we are working with have had no trouble filling between 100 and 140 spots quickly. As opposed to life in 2019, there are not many opportunities like this for students today. Many are struggling so much right now and this program was made to specifically address their lives today. Remember, we are happy to have the top students in the school. However, this is perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity for those who have leadership potential, who are not yet in the top leadership positions. I cannot tell you how many students have come to RYLA barely able to make eye contact with their peers and left RYLA ready to take on the world, even running for class president and other leadership roles. At this critical time in their lives, please help us make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of our youth.

JHS STUDENTS PLANNING TO TAKE AP CLASSES IN THE 2021-2022 school year: There is a student/parent meeting scheduled for Thursday, May 6 in the High School Commons at 6pm. We will go over AP and its rigor, teachers will share insight about their classes and any summer assignments. We want you and parents to be fully aware of what is involved and expected in AP classes.
