At Jenkins, our goal is for the school and community to work in partnership to ensure the success of our scholars in all grade levels. Here at Jenkins, quality tier 1 instruction and the implementation of the curriculum is a top priority. To support us, in supporting scholars with mastery of the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills), at home, your child can access some great instructional materials from their my.springisd.org portal.

We recommend the following resources:

Elementary Resources

• ST Math (Math, K-5)

• Amplify Reading (Reading, K-5)

• iReady (Math & Reading)

Parents,

The state of Texas has a mandatory Attendance Requirement of 90%. Please know that under the Compulsory Attendance Law, all students must be in attendance at least 90% of the time they've been enrolled in a public school. In order to receive credit for a final grade for a class, a student is required to attend class 90 percent of the days a class is offered regardless of whether the student's absences are excused [see FEA] or unexcused.

Attendance is taken at 9:30 AM

TEA Attendance Requirements

Students arriving at school after 9:45 AM will be counted absent.

If you have any questions about your child's attendance or you need to submit a doctor's note, please contact Ms. S. Jackson or sjacks6@springisd.org

In the age of instant communication, the best way to reach us is the telephone. Our front office staff are available for any questions you may have.

They will be more than happy to help you!
