As a reminder, school for SJS Kindergarten – Grade 8 students begins promptly at 7:50am. If you find yourself not making it to school on time, please adjust your morning routine accordingly as tardy arrivals are disruptive to the whole classroom.
Also, please remember if your student arrives tardy (after the breezeway doors close at 7:50am), you must park your car and come to the SJS main office with them to sign them in. This is stated in the student/parent handbook that all families reviewed/signed as well as in several other school communications.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Water Bottles
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolAs a reminder, please make sure your student comes to school with a refillable water bottle every day. With the heat starting to come on in the building, it can get a little dry in the classrooms and we do not have the drinking fountains turned on for hygiene reasons. The water bottle filling stations located throughout the school provide cool, filtered water for students to stay hydrated throughout the day.
