Pre-K4 Letter Hunt

6th Graders Create Board Games About China
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolAs a culmination of their studies on Ancient China, Saint James School 6th grade students each designed a board game using knowledge learned throughout the lessons. Today the students had a chance to play each other’s games – which were all unique in design and rules of play. Great job Sabers!
Save the Date!
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolWe are pleased to announce that Mrs. Zimmerman has graciously stepped up to host a Father/Daughter dance this year! For our families with girls, please mark your calendar for Saturday, May 21st (event will be in the early evening, time TBA).
We also are excited to announce that we have parent volunteers who are organizing a Mother/Daughter Tea (thank you Mrs. Howard) and a Father/Son Event (thank you Mrs. Miller). Dates on those will be forthcoming.
We did not have a chair for a mother/son event so that event will not be held this year but hopefully we can get it back on the schedule for next year.
Reminder: Morning Arrival
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolThere were an excessive number of late arrivals prior to break (often the same students), so we are asking for our parents to help get these child/ren back on schedule. Late arrivals are disruptive to the teacher, morning announcements, and the classroom routine. Planning to be punctual is also an important skill that will benefit your child/ren in all stages of their academic and professional career.
If you find yourself not making it to school between 7:30am and 7:50am, please take a few moments today to talk to your child/ren about the importance of being on time and help them readjust their morning schedule accordingly.
