PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES |
|
At the heart of Christian education is the healthy relationship between family and school. Parent-Teacher Conferences provide the opportunity for parents and teachers to discuss the individual spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and academic progress of each student. Our parent-teacher conferences will be held next week Monday and Tuesday evenings, Oct. 17 & 18 from 3:45-5pm and 6--8:30pm.
An email was sent to each family last week which provides instructions and the link to sign up. In addition to a student’s homeroom teacher, parents may sign up for a conference with the resource and/or specials teachers. (Middle School Families - to respect teacher's time and other families who are trying to schedule, please sign up for a maximum of THREE conferences with middle school teachers per child!)
You MUST signup by Thursday, Oct 13 at 9PM as the link will no longer be available after that time. If you have not already done so, please use the link below to sign up.

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.
