Dear students and parents.
As our state continues to fight against the spread of COVID-19, the State Board of Education has voted to authorize the closure of all public schools in Oklahoma for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year.
Jenks Public Schools (JPS) will be transitioning to distance learning beginning April 6 through the end of the school year. All JPS school buildings and facilities will remain closed until further notice. All activities, athletic events, club meetings, school sponsored trips are canceled for the 2019-20 school year.
JPS administrators are working on plans for a district-wide distance learning program. Please be patient over the next week as these plans are finalized. As soon as more information is available, you will be notified.

We recognize the disappointment and difficulty this closure is causing our students and families. Our thoughts go out to our senior class knowing they will not have the opportunity to walk across a graduation stage in front of their family, friends, and peers. Please be assured, we will find a way to honor our seniors and recognize their achievements.
None of this is easy but despite our distance, we are still one Trojan family. We will continue to love and support each other. We will always make decisions based on what is best for our students. Thank you for your trust. You will hear from us very soon.
Sincerely,

29、 Nowadays with the development of technology, people have gradually relied on the mobile phones seriously.Many people, especially the younger generation, like to use social media to connect with others. However, everyone is ignoring an important point- face-to-face communication between people is missing.
Social media is all about connecting with others. But a new study suggests that too much social media use leads to disconnection and loneliness. The study finds that heavy use of platforms such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram is associated with feelings of isolation among young adults.
Brian Primack and his team in the study surveyed that 1,787 U.S. adults aged 19to 32 and asked them about their usage of 11 social media platforms. Surprisingly,people that spend more time on social media feel lonelier than others.
Tom Kersting, a psychotherapist, said“Although people think being on social media all the time makes them‘connected’ to others, they are actually‘disconnected,’because the more time one spends behind a screen, the less time one spends face-to-face.”Kersting continued. “They are spending a lot of time looking at everyone else’s posts, where they are, where they are going and what they are doing.The constant connection to everyone else’s‘perfect’life experiences causes feelings of being left out, and of being lonely.”
So what’s the answer?“It’s simple,” says Kersting—although it does involve a significant amount of willpower.“The solution to this is refusing the addiction to look at everyone else’s life.Just focus on your own life, where you’re going, what you are grateful for, and what you want to achieve in this world. Then go out and do it, andstop wasting so much time comparing.”
