We are looking forward to our winter break coming next Monday and Tuesday (Feb. 20 & 21)! If your student(s) will be gone any additional days either before or after these scheduled two days off, please notify the office via email at sbrower@jenisonchristian.org BEFORE YOU LEAVE! Also, if you have a middle school student, they are required to obtain a "green sheet" from the office that parents must sign and that the student brings to each of his/her teachers BEFORE the planned absence to get signed by the teachers as well. This serves to inform the students and parents of any required homework assignments that will be due upon their return to school. Thank you in advance for working together with us!

If your elementary or middle school child will be absent from school (due to illness, dr. appt. etc.), it is very important to call the absentee line at 457-3307 and leave a message or email the attendance line at attendance@jenisonchristian.org. Teachers may not have read email or seesaw before taking attendance and therefore the absence is not reported to the office. Also, if you need to pick up your child for an appointment, etc. you will need to come into the school office and sign them in/out on the ipad that is on the front counter.
-
If you have a preschooler that is going to be absent, you do not need to call into the main office, please just email your child's teacher.
