Elementary & Middle School Enrollment
All JCS families, please be watching your mailbox (US Mail) this week for the enrollment packets for next school year. This packet contains many important pieces of information that are needed for next school year. Please take a few moments to carefully read through the paperwork and fill out the necessary forms and return them to the school office by Friday, April 30. Knowing how many students that are planning to be at Jenison Christian School is very valuable to the school board as they make decisions for classroom sizes, staffing, etc. for the upcoming school year.
Also, if you know of a family considering JCS for next year, please have them contact the school office and we would be happy to see that they receive a tour if desired, as well as answer any questions they may have about JCS.
Preschool Enrollment
We are still accepting enrollment for our 3 & 4 year old preschool programs! (There is currently a wait list for the 4 year old three and four day sessions, the 4 year old T/TH session, and also the 3 year old M/W session. Enrollment for preschool will continue until all classes are full.) A $75 enrollment fee is due within two weeks of enrolling to hold your spot. If you have any further questions, please call the school office. Click here for preschool enrollment.

Tuition Assistance for 2021-2022 School Year: We are so grateful for the Jenison Christian Education Foundation, REVIVE Re-store, the JCS Parent Club, many of our local churches, and individuals who annually support Jenison Christian School financially and/or through volunteer time to assist in keeping tuition affordable. If tuition costs for JCS are unaffordable for your family, we invite you to apply for tuition assistance through the JCS tuition assistance program. For the upcoming 2021-2022 school year, JCS will again participate in the online FACTS tuition assistance application program. All parents or guardians requesting tuition assistance through JCS are required to complete an application using the FACTS program to receive JCS tuition assistance. Our first priority regarding tuition assistance will be for families enrolled in full day programming at JCS. There are several steps to this process so please fill out the forms as soon as possible if you are interested. If you have questions regarding this process, please contact Karen Deters, Financial Secretary (457-3301 ext. 162 or email at kdeters@jenisonchristian.org).

Unity Summer Sports Camp Registration Date Change – We are excited to host sports camps at Unity Christian this summer! We were planning to open our camp registration the week after spring break, but we have decided to postpone the start of registration until mid-May. We want to have as much clarity with the COVID situation as possible and any further requirements/restrictions that might be in place this summer. We have always had room in our camps and have not turned anyone away, so we anticipate that there will be no problem with this later registration date. Our current summer camp schedule is available on our website at https://unitychristianathletics.org/main/campsclinics/, and look for further communication in May when the registration opens!
