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.

Compassion, Conviction, and Controversy…Moving Forward in Community -- Join us at Unity Christian High School on Wednesday, November 16, at 7:00pm for a Unity community night featuring the presentation “Compassion, Conviction, and Controversy…Moving Forward in Community.” Since the beginning of the pandemic, few institutions have faced more challenges than schools. Christian school communities are no exception. However, the seeds of cultural division were sown long before 2020. Let's take a look at how we arrived at this moment, but more importantly let's figure out how we are going to move forward. Dan Landstra, Unity’s Director for Spiritual Life, will lead adult community members to consider how best to navigate the intersection of a faith-infused Christian education and a culture of increasing division. Friends and neighbors, even if they do not have children at Unity, are welcome.
Boys Saturday Basketball Program -- Unity Christian is pleased to offer a Saturday Basketball program for boys in grades 4 - 6. This program will be held on November 19, December 3, 10, 17, and January 7. Please go to https://unitychristianathletics.org/main/campsclinics/ for more information and an on-line registration link.
Middle School Boys Swim Interest Survey -- Unity Christian is continuing to explore the possibility of options for boy’s swimmers at the high school level. Please complete the following form if your son would be interested in swimming on a Unity Christian middle school team in January and February of this school year. If we have enough interest, we will explore adding a middle school boys swimming team, with the next steps involving finding pool time, coaches, and meets. Please complete the interest form by November 10: https://www.cognitoforms.com/UnityChristianHighSchool/UnityChristianMiddleSchoolBoysSwimInterest
