RenWeb Database/Communication
Our RenWeb School Management Software gives you, the busy parent, an opportunity to get more involved in your child's academic progress and future success—all via the internet!

RenWeb's ParentsWeb is a private and secure parents' portal that will allow parents to view academic information specific to their children, while protecting their children's information from others. You can see your child's grades, attendance, homework and conduct, as well as other useful school information. You can also communicate with teachers and other school staff online whenever necessary. Please call the JCS School Office if you have any problems using RenWeb (623-561-2000).

Tuition Assistance/Tax Credit
Parents have the primary responsibility to provide for their child’s education. If assistance is needed we encourage parents to utilize ACSTO (Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization), a tax credit organization which allows donors to recommend your child for their tax credit donation. Details can be found at www.acsto.org. JCS conducts informational events on our campus called How to Afford a Christian Education that provide valuable information regarding tuition assistance. Please check the school calendar for specific dates. Additional information is available in the Admissions Office. Click here for more information about tuition assistance.

Withdrawal from Enrollment During School Year
One month’s notice is required for all withdrawals. Withdrawals require processing and therefore, a student withdrawing from school will be charged for the full month he/she is currently attending plus one additional full month. Records requests require 48 hours to be processed and will not be processed unless the financial status is in good standing.
