Jenkins Independent Schools

At Burdine Elementary this Tuesday we will be celebrating Two’s-Day 2/22/22! Our students will have special activities during the day including a dance break at 2:22 and to celebrate this special occasion, we would like to allow our students an opportunity to have a good dress up day! So, you can wear ties, tutus, tie dye, tennis shoes or even dress to match your friend and be a twin for the day!! I can’t wait to see what great ideas our kiddos come up with!!

The Student Leadership Council of JMHS celebrated World Kindness Day by creating a bulletin board. All staff and students had an opportunity to sign a kindness pledge for the display. We encourage everyone to embrace being kind and respectful to others.

We need all students in grades 6th, 7th, and 8th to be in person tomorrow and Wednesday to take their Reading and Math Transcend Winter test. You will be testing in Reading on Tuesday and Math on Wednesday. If you are a virtual learner, you need to be at school at your normal Reading class time tomorrow and your normal Math class time on Wednesday. If you're not sure when to show up, ask your teacher.

Burdine Elementary School and Jenkins Middle High School will be offering after school tutoring to help students to receive help with NTI assignments. Tutoring will take place Monday - Thursday of this week, February 7th - 10th, for two hours after school. Bus transportation will be available Tuesday and Thursday. Students must provide their own transportation Monday and Wednesday. Snacks will be provided. All students need to bring their chromebooks and chargers back to school tomorrow.

Burdine Elementary School will celebrate their 100th day of school the first day we are back to in person instruction! To all our new families, we usually wear a cute shirt (sometimes it’s handmade) that represent a quirky part of our personality…you can find tons of inspiration on social media!! Counting to 100 is a big deal for our lower primary students and to understand and comprehend “how many” that actually is! Teachers will have activities to enrich learning centered on 100! We’ve missed all of our kiddos and we are looking forward to seeing them again real soon!!

Wise County Career Tech Center is having a virtual learning day today. Be sure to log into your Wise County Career Tech Center Google Classroom for assignments.

Due to impending bad weather, we will not have pee wee basketball sign-ups at Burdine Elementary this evening. We still plan to have sign-ups on 2/9 and 2/15 from 5-7 pm at this time.

Dear Cavalier Families, Unfortunately, due to our current covid positivity rate, we are forced to move to remote instruction for the remainder of the week, February 2nd - 4th. We know this is not ideal and will return to in-person instruction as soon as feasibly possible. We plan to run the vocational bus on a regular schedule. Morning students need to be at the school by 8:15 and evening students by 11:45. We will be delivering meals on Wednesday, February 2nd. The meals included will be for 3 breakfasts and 3 lunches for the remainder of the week. The bus will leave Jenkins Middle High at 11:00 delivering meals on the main road to Dunham Park, then on to McRoberts Community Center, arriving @ 11:40 and will park at the Community Center for 15 minutes. Then the bus will travel back to Jenkins and deliver the Burdine route @ 12:30. If you live in one of the hollows that is normally on the route, please come out to the main road. If you can’t meet the bus, you may pick up the meals at Jenkins Middle High from 12:00 – 1:00. Please pull to the side of the cafeteria and someone will bring the meals out to you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The vocational bus will run on regular schedule tomorrow. Morning students need to be at school by 8:15 and evening students by 11:45.

Buildings will be open and staff will be onsite so that students can gather materials if needed. Thank you for your continued patience and support.
