Join us for the
2023 Jenison Christian School
auction this Saturday, March 11!
Attendees can pre-register! Registration is now open. Pre-registering will help us get everyone in the system and ready to bid more efficiently.
One of the great things about this software is that you can see real-time items as we add them for the auction. Please visit https://event.gives/jcsauction for the most up to date listing of what we have up for bid for Silent and LIVE auction items. We currently do not have auction booklets printed as items are still coming in!
- Attendees can purchase a dinner ticket in advance. Dinner will be catered by Award winning Pit Stop Catering, with the price of $15/plate.
- Giveaway/Raffle tickets can be purchased online or the night of the Auction. They may also be purchased through the JCS front office. The only exception to this is the Tuition Giveaway. These tickets may ONLY be purchased the night of the Auction and winner MUST be present to win.
- We will open the silent auction for online bidding starting March 6th . You can still come and bid in person on March 11th, but this opens our SILENT auction items to individuals that may not be able to make the event. SILENT will close the night of the auction, March 11th when our LIVE auction begins.
- This year the LIVE auction will be streamed, which means you can join us in the gym or from the comfort of your own home.
- Please remember this is an adult only event, childcare is available and registration is available online.

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 2023-2024 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. The first round deadline for FACTS filing is March 31, 2023. If you have questions regarding this process, please contact Karen Deters, Financial Secretary (457-3301 ext. 302 or email at kdeters@jenisonchristian.org).

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.
