 Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedure

 

For the safety of our students, please see below image outlining the drop off and pick up procedure for the band parking lot. 

 

The route is to enter the parking lot from the South entrance and proceed to the curb near the school buildings in a single file and then exit the parking lot from the North exit.

 

Please note the four 'No Parking' locations that are highlighted in red. No one should park in these areas, this includes stopping your vehicle to let a student out. These areas should be left open completely.

 

Remember, we have a lot of tired students walking through this parking lot, some of which are newer drivers.

  

Let’s do some Fundraising!

 

 

 Let’s even try something new!

 

First Up….Simply Sheets.  This fundraiser is available now plus we can keep it open for quite some time.  The items bought will be shipped straight to your customer. Students earn 30-40% on sales!!! Link and shareable graphic is below.

Jenks Band Class of 2029 

 

 

Scott Davenport gave a presentation for incoming parents and students that outlines the school year and marching band in particular. He will covered how we handle trips / meds, expectations, what is your student’s dot, etc. He created it from a parent perspective after his son‘s freshman year and being lost! The idea is to help everyone transition this year before pre-band starts.

We are still looking for a Treasurer, and we need your support! If you're organized and detail-oriented, preferably with a financial background, we’d love for you to join our board.

This is a vital role in helping us manage finances and keep everything running smoothly.

If you (or someone you know) is interested or want to learn more, please reach out to David Stephens or Phil Faries. 

Your involvement would make a huge difference! 

 

Drillers Concessions

 

Updates - please note!

1. All adults must have their liquor license thru the ABLE commission. Please reach out if you have questions.
2. If you sign up to work, please show up and do not cancel last minute.
3. When the Drillers cancel games or reduce the number of workers (because of inclement weather or other factors), your shift may be cancelled. We will always ask for volunteers first. If there are not enough volunteers, we will try to cancel those who have worked the most recently so that everyone has an opportunity. We understand it is frustrating when the Drillers reduce the number of workers needed but the band doesn't have any say in it.

 

The sign up link is here under the concessions tab on the website. 

Please join the group me if you would like to have updates, reminders, chat with other workers, and/or receive notifications.

Thank you for your consideration!

 

 

 

 

Payments/Fundraiser Money

 

Just a reminder that credit card is our preferred payment method. There are no convenience fees and this is the safest and fastest way for your payment to be reflected to your account. However, we understand there are some that prefer paying by cash or credit card. 

 

Starting in October, Money Friday will be the last Friday of the month. We may also have additional opportunities when we have fundraisers, etc. You can also mail checks to JPS-JBP PO Box 425 Jenks, OK 74037.

In supporting a Jenks Trojan Pride student, your contribution directly benefits that student.   Through the “Band Together” program, students are asking 10 people to sponsor them for $20 each. This money will go directly into their individual band account and be used for trip costs, uniform fees, competition fees, etc. More importantly, your donation will help contribute toward a lifetime of memories both on and off the field. Thank you for your support.
