The Saint James School Board’s Catholic Identity Committee has prepared a special activity kit for families to use during Lent. The activity focuses on prayer, fasting, and good works.

Kits will contains three charts, each of which provides several specific practices which you and your family can observe.  At the beginning of Lent, you and your children can prepare the kit for use by cutting along the lines of each chart to produce a total of 45 suggested actions.  Put the 45 cards (in random order) into the bag provided.  Each evening during Lent, have one child reach into the bag and blindly select one of the cards.

On the following day, every member of the family will attempt to put that suggestion into practice.  If you choose to do so, you may discuss ways in which you attempted to act upon the prior day’s suggestion.

A huge Thank You to the members of the Catholic Identity Committee – Mrs. LaMarche, Mrs. Camposeo, Mrs. Modugno, and Mrs. LaFontana – for coordinating this great activity for our families to enjoy!

The CDC is no longer requiring that students wear masks on buses operated by public or private school systems.   As such, masks will be optional for students riding the school bus to and from Saint James School going forward.

As a reminder, Saint James School will be switching to a mask-optional policy for students and staff in our Pre-Kindergarten – Grade 8 classes beginning Monday, February 28th.   For students who will no longer be wearing a mask into the school building each day, please note that there may be times when a mask is still needed so please ensure students have at least one mask at their disposal (in their backpack or on a lanyard) each day.  Masks are still required on the school buses.   The full communication sent out yesterday regarding this policy change can be found here: https://mailchi.mp/df260bd5a185/maskupdate
