We're excited for our Fall Athletics programming for the 26-27 school year! Registration opens next week! Take a look!

Our Rockets proudly took the stage at ISTELive with four incredible presentation teams, sharing how leadership, innovation, technology, and student voice are transforming learning every day at John Rex Charter School. Presenters included our third grade student leadership team, the Rocket Rangers, alongside Ms. Goode, Mrs. Alexander, and Mr. Kellert; two presentations led by our third grade teachers, Miss Reese, Mrs. Villanueva, Mrs. Nelson, and Ms. Clanton; and a presentation led by Ms. Audas and Mr. Duffy. As one of the world's largest educational technology conferences, the International Society for Transforming Education brings together thousands of educators from around the globe to share ideas shaping the future of education. This year, John Rex students and staff didn't just attend. They led conversations, represented Oklahoma with pride, and showcased the innovative learning happening at John Rex. From Oklahoma to Orlando, our Rockets showed what's possible when students and staff are empowered to lead! 🚀

Our OG&E volunteers spent their day building us a new shed. What amazing new friends we've made!

What a fun night at the Comets game! ⚾️ We loved celebrating our Rising Rocket MVPs- a group of amazing 3rd graders who exemplify our 8 Expectations and Great Expectations every day. We are so proud of the leadership, character, and growth they showed this year. Congratulations, Rockets! 🚀

Summer hasn't stopped us. We harvested 95 beets and radishes for Chef Beau at 74 Sports Kitchen.

8th grade had the best time making memories on their last week of school! We walked all over downtown. We saw Super Mario Galaxy at Harkins Theater, visited the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame, had fun with a photo scavenger hunt at Myriad Gardens, and finished the week with an 8th grade picnic at Myriad Gardens! We will miss our amazing 8th graders, but wish them the very best on their next chapter.

Our students were able to walk down to Bicentennial Park for a Playoff Pop-Up hosted by Okc Parks 💙🏀 Students loved getting free playoff posters and OKC Parks gear while celebrating all the playoff excitement together! Fun in downtown OKC ✨

Our first graders took an exciting journey into the world of hatching chicks through the 4-H Youth Development at Oklahoma County OSU Extension Service! Over 20–22 days, students tracked embryo development, candled eggs, created time-lapses of the chicks’ first pip, and prepared a cozy brooder for their arrival. One of their favorite moments was reading to the chicks! This hands-on experience brought science to life in the most memorable way. 🐣📚

Ms Griffin and Mrs. Hobsons classes had the opportunity to attend a special award ceremony honoring Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt as the recipient of the Bill Lowry Library Champion Award from the Oklahoma Library Association. Students enjoyed being part of this exciting community event and even getting to see Rumble! We are so thankful our students get opportunities to explore and connect with our downtown community.

1st and 2nd grades enjoyed a visit from Classen SAS middle school advanced musical theater class who performed Junie B. Jones musical. They were great audience for a great show.

Congratulations to our Special Stars of the Year. These are two students from each grade level who exhibited respect, leadership, sportsmanship, participation and enthusiasm in every specials area this year. You guys ROCK.

All 2nd graders have now completed the Safety Around Water program thanks to our friends at the downtown YMCA 🌊✨

Third Grade classes enjoyed an exciting field trip aboard the Bricktown Water Taxis, where students toured the Bricktown waterways and learned about the rich history of Oklahoma City. It was a fun and engaging experience that brought local history to life! ⚓️🌆 ✨

Last Friday, a group of our 7th and 8th graders took NBA Math Hoops to the court at Lower Scissortail to compete with other schools at Math Hoops Live! Thank you NBA Math Hoops, Learn Fresh, Thunder Cares, and Devon Energy for this fun event!

Students who showed growth on their district NWEA MAPS tests were invited to celebrate their accomplishments at Brickopolis! We are so proud of all the hard work, growth, and learning our 7th graders have shown this year. Keep up the great work!

Fourth grade talent show was a success! They danced, sang, recited, and joked their hearts out.

Huge thank you to EMBARK and Ward 2 Councilman James Cooper for visiting our 7th graders! Students learned how to navigate the city bus system, stay safe while biking through the city, and even got to experience a ride on a real city bus.
