Welcome to Jenison
Whether you are with us for the first time or have been with us for years, we are thrilled to have your children attend what we believe is one of the best school districts in the state of Michigan. Although we have earned many accolades over the past many years, we are not a district that rests on its laurels. All of us are working diligently to make sure our district continues to provide the best possible educational programming for your children.
I am convinced that the 2009-2010 school year is going to be incredible. Our building principals, teachers, and paraprofessionals are primed and ready to meet the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs of each and every student who will be attending Jenison Public Schools. We are committed to build meaningful relationships with every child so that we will be able to instill the knowledge that he or she needs to be successful in life.
We also need your support and participation if we are going to make this a great year for all of the children who attend Jenison Public Schools. I realize it is a busy and expansive world and your time is at a premium. However, I can’t emphasize enough how important your willingness to “build a bridge” with your children’s school is to their level of success. We want to be partners with you in providing the best educational experience we can for your children. We value and appreciate your input and support. With today’s technology, we are only a telephone call or e-mail away, so please stay connected. Secondary parents are highly encouraged to make use of PowerSchool Parent. You will find this to be an outstanding tool for keeping track of your children’s progress in their various classes, as well as providing a link for communication with their teachers.
I am looking forward to working with you and your children during the upcoming school year. There is no question in my mind that with all of us working together, we will have an outstanding year!
With warmest regards,
Tom TenBrink
Superintendent
