BUS BULLETIN
Safety at the Bus Stop - With dark mornings and slippery roads in the near future, please remind students to stay at least 10 feet away from the roadside while waiting for the bus and wait for the bus to make a complete stop before approaching to board the bus.  

**There will be no AM or PM bussing for students riding the JPS Rabbit bus on Friday, October 28.**

JCS #14 Deer and #18 Eagle bus parents, please email your driver when your student does not need morning pick-up at deer14@jenisonchristian.org & eagle18@jenisonchristian.org. Bus drivers are not able to communicate during their morning bus runs from 6:50 am to 8:30 am.
REMINDERS
  • 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.

  • Important Reminder Regarding Illness: If your child is sick, please keep them home until they are completely symptom free (fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.) for 24 hours. If they test positive for COVID, we will follow the same guidelines (symptom free for 24 hours to return). JCS encourages you to follow CDC and local health authority recommendations for returning to school in cases of COVID-related illness. We will notify classes if there is a positive case, but there will be no requirements for quarantines or close contacts.
