The following information is being provided so that you may have an understanding of transportation services available for the 2022-23 school year and take the required action as needed. Jenison Christian School is pleased to provide transportation services to our families, with safety and care as our priority.
A few key notes regarding Transportation 2022-23:
-
Jenison Christian School and Jenison Public School Transportation will not provide NOON busing home for Pre-Kindergarten Half-day and Kindergarten Half-day students in 2022-23.
- We do not guarantee that your student will receive a bus stop at your driveway. Elementary students can walk up to 0.25 miles to a bus stop.
- Families have the option of one additional bus stop at a caregiver location if within our area. Daycare provider locations will need to be reviewed and approved.
Transportation is available for most students who live within the Jenison Public School district and also outside of the district within the nearby Hudsonville and Grandville areas. We have three zones of transportation for JCS. If you are unsure of your family’s zone or have any questions, please contact Julia Doornbos, Transportation Director, at transportation@jenisonchristian.org.
#1 Jenison Public Bus Zone (currently known as the “Rabbit Bus”)
- This route service is for families living INSIDE the JPS district (outside of the parental transportation zone). No action is required if your student currently rides the JPS bus and plans to continue for the 2022-23 school year. If, however, you have any changes (i.e., address, daycare, no longer needing transportation, etc.) please make them online.
- All newly enrolled students living INSIDE the JPS district (including Kindergarten, Half-Day Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten or any student who did not previously ride a bus) must register for JPS busing online if intending to ride in 2022-23.
-
To register a new rider / submit changes (i.e., address, daycare, etc.), go to www.jpsonline.org:

For 2022-23 school year bus requests, your information will be available to view online through Edulog and ParentPortal after August 15, 2022. To sign-up for an Edulog account, click HERE! Your student’s District ID number will be provided to you when they are available.
#2 Jenison Christian Bus Zone (currently known as “Deer Bus” & “Eagle Bus”)
- This route service is for families living OUTSIDE of the JPS District and within nearby Hudsonville and Grandville areas.
-
ALL families (current and new) who reside OUTSIDE of the JPS district must submit the following 2022-2023 AM & PM BUS SIGN-UP FORM no later than June 1, 2022. Note: If we do not receive your 2022-2023 AM & PM BUS SIGN-UP FORM by June 1, 2022, we may be unable to place your bus stop on the route and you will be asked to meet the bus at another bus stop location.
-
If your family plans to move outside of the JPS district for the 2022-23 school year, please submit the 2022-2023 AM & PM BUS SIGN-UP form no later than June 1, 2022 and email Julia Doronbos at transportation@jenisonchristian.org with the date you intend to move.
