Every year we host Kindergarten Screening here at JCS. This screening is an important tool to help determine the best placement for your child for the 2023-2024 school year, whether it is Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten.
Screening appointments are 20 minutes long and after the appointment, you will receive a recommendation for next year. We will have 1/2 or full day Pre-Kindergarten and full day Kindergarten, 5 days a week.
Use this link to fill out with your initial thoughts for next year, which will also allow you to sign up for a screening appointment. If you are choosing to continue your child's education here at JCS, there will be a link at the end of the form that will bring you to a signup genius to secure your screening appointment on Monday, February 6. If your child is in preschool on the day you choose, please indicate what classroom they are in or if they will be in Childcare.

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.
