We are looking for volunteers to work a shift this Saturday morning from 9am-Noon. Most of he work will involve leaf clean up around the property. If you are able to help us out, please sign up here. Thank you in advance!

  • JCS Podcast - Did you know that we have our very own JCS podcast? Join in and listen to our middle school teachers Mr. Eric DeVries and Mr. Payton Ponstein. Here is the link! https://youtu.be/rkhoHWYqGBU

  • Holiday Pie Fundraiser - Thank you for the amazing response to our holiday pie sale! Please take note, order pick-up will be by the gym doors after school on Tuesday, November 17. If you are picking your children up that day, simply exit the drop off loop and go around the middle school to the back gym doors. If you are unable to pick up your order at that time, please make arrangements to have someone else pick it up for you. We will not be able to hold orders for a later date.

  • JCS gators and theme t-shirts are available for sale in the office: $5/gators and $7/t-shirts. If you've ordered an extra theme shirt already and have not received it, we need you to pay for it, and we will send it home with your student!

Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.)
Curbside TRIP will be offered approximately twice a month up to Christmas. All orders MUST be preordered. TRIP has dwindled down its inventory and gift cards are now being ordered on an as needed basis. Pick ups will be offered ONLY on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:00 PM as volunteers and parents are not able to be in the school building during school hours at this time. The order due and pick up dates for September through December are as follows to help you plan accordingly.


When picking up your order, please enter the parking lot down by the ball field and follow along the sidewalk towards the office. A volunteer will greet you and deliver your order to your car. TRIP monetary distribution that normally occurs the end of August will not be happening this fall due to the limited availability of being able to order TRIP this spring/summer. TRIP earnings will be credited to your accounts as usual in April. Thank you for your understanding. Please pass this information along to friends and family that don’t receive emails from JCS. As a reminder, we will NOT be able to fulfill any orders at pick up. ALL ORDERS ARE PREORDER ONLY.
