The Passing on the Faith drive for JCS kicks off next week! Each Fall we partner with J. Milito and Associates to call on the JCS community to ask for donations to our school's annual fund. Our goal this year is to raise $160,000 for annual needs at JCS (supplies, field trips, tuition assistance, extra-curriculars, etc.). We value the continued support we receive from our families and community in meeting these special needs at JCS! Thank you for your support!

Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) |
|
Just a little planning ahead is all you need to do to reduce your tuition through everyday shopping. There are hundreds of businesses that participate in TRIP by giving back to you a portion of the gift card purchase price. The rebate is then credited to your family tuition account twice a year (April and August). This means when you shop, eat out, pay your garbage bill and more, you can earn money for tuition!
There are three ways to participate in the TRIP program:
2. Buy physical cards through TRIP that are eligible to be reloaded via the website or app.
3. Order e-cards on the website or in the app. These are typically available for immediate use!
The website for TRIP is ShopWithScript.com and the app is called RaiseRight.
The TRIP schedule is sent out in emails, in the JCS newsletter and can be found on the JCS website on the calendar. For September and October, this is the schedule:
Order by Tuesday, September 7 for pick up on Wednesday, September 15
Order by Tuesday, September 21 for pick up on Wednesday, September 29
Order by Tuesday, October 5 for pick up on Wednesday, October 13
Order by Tuesday, October 19 for pick up on Wednesday, October 27
Pick up on Wednesday evenings will be from 6:30 - 7:00 PM outside the JCS office doors.
If you have an online TRIP account, we would encourage you to order your TRIP cards via the online ordering system. If you don’t have an online TRIP account, please email your order to JCS TRIP at trip@jenisonchristian.org and your money will be collected at order pick up. As a reminder, NO orders will be filled at pick up time. ALL ORDERS ARE PREORDERED.

If your 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. 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.
-
Visitors are still limited at this time in the school building. If you need to have something delivered to your child, please bring it to the school office where we have a shelf system you can put it on. We will then notify your student's teacher so that they may come and get it when they have a break.
