2025-26 School Year Theme
We are excited to announce that our eighth-grade class of 2025/26 has selected the following for our next year’s spiritual theme (translated trilingually for ZCS):
祂永不改变 (tā yǒng bù gǎi biàn)
耶稣基督，昨日、今日、一直到永远，是一样的。- 希伯来书 13:8
Él Permanece
“Jesucristo es el mismo ayer, hoy y por siempre.” - Hebreos 13:8
He Remains
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” - Hebrews 13:8 NIV

DOWNLOAD INFINITE CAMPUS
Parent Reminders
Learn the sign-in process here. We are pleased to announce a New Visitor Management System called “Raptor”, which we began using on December 1, 2022. The safety of our ZCS Family is our highest priority. Because of the more efficient and thorough screening process for visitors, contractors, and volunteers, this new system allows us to create an even safer environment for our students and staff. In addition to strengthening our campus safety, the signin process for visitors is streamlined and much more user-friendly. Please bring your state issued ID/Drivers License to facilitate efficient sign-in.
If your student is going to be absent or late, please:
- Email students' homeroom teacher and attendance@zcs.org the reason for the absence or late arrival.
OR
- Email your homeroom teacher and leave a message on the attendance line 616-741-0051 with the reason for the absence or late arrival.
- If your student is going to be absent for multiple days, please email attendance@zcs.org prior to the absence, and all the days can be entered at once.
