BE AN EXAMPLE
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."

1 Timothy 4:12

We at JCS would like to welcome all the families that are new to JCS as well as our returning JCS families. We are SO excited to be starting another school year with you today! Welcome!

Communication - There is a lot of information coming regarding various events happening at school. Please continue to watch your email as this is the most used form of communication!

CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Aug 25 - First Day of School for PreK-8th Grade (1/2 Day, Noon Dismissal)
Aug 25 - Fifth Grade Band Parent Meeting at 6:30 in the band room
Sept 3-6 - No School (Labor Day Weekend)
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:

1. Preorder physical cards to be picked up on Wednesday evenings per the TRIP schedule.

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 would like to set up TRIP account or an online TRIP account, please email JCS Trip at trip@jenisonchristian.org and Tina can help get you set up. 

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.
