Family News

JWI Families,

As we move into April, it’s hard to believe how quickly this school year is flying by. This final stretch is an important time for our students, and we are focused on helping each child finish strong, both academically and personally.

April often brings a busy schedule with continued learning, assessments, and end-of-year activities. Our teachers are working intentionally to keep students engaged, challenged, and supported. We encourage all students to stay focused, complete assignments on time, and continue putting forth their best effort each day. We also recognize that this time of year can feel demanding, so maintaining routines at home, such as consistent sleep schedules, reading time, and encouragement, can make a big difference. Your partnership plays a key role in helping students stay motivated and confident.

Thank you for your continued support of our school community. We are proud of the growth we are seeing and look forward to a strong finish together.

Oklahoma State Testing Program (OSTP)
Jenks West Intermediate's dates for state testing are below. To meet the state requirement, we must test all of our students. Please make sure your child arrives at school on time and please remember to schedule all appointments after school hours on testing days. If you know ahead of time that your child will be absent on one of the testing days, please fill out this form so that we can get a testing session scheduled for him/her prior to the absence.

OSTP Practice Tests Available
Online practice tests for the 2026 Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP) are now available for students and families. These practice tests are a great way for students to become familiar with the online testing format and tools they will use during state testing. Students will practice using these tools with their teachers at school before testing. We also wanted families to have the opportunity to see the format and explore the practice tests at home if they choose.

The practice tests help students get comfortable with:
•Online navigation and tools
•Multiple-choice questions
•Short answer and extended response questions
•Interactive, technology-enhanced questions

Please note: These practice questions are for practice only and are not meant to predict how a student will score on the actual test.

How to Access the Practice Tests:
