Registration for Fall 2022

/in /by

Returning family registration for the 2022-2023 school year was sent out earlier today.  All Pre-K3 through Grade 7 parents should have received an email with paperwork and instructions.  Please note that paperwork is due back by Thursday, February 17th to secure your child(ren)’s spot(s) for next year.  After February 17th, we will begin accepting/registering new families for the 2022-2023 school year.

If you have any additional children who will be joining us at Saint James School for the first time in the Fall of 2022, please add them to your registration form and reach out to Amy Guenther (aguenther@saintjamesschool.net) to discuss our other New Student requirements.

If you do not see the Returning Family Registration email, please reach out to Amy Guenther.  Hard copies of all the paperwork will also be available in the main office (please call or email Mrs. Sager to have one sent home with your student if needed).

Reminder: Tie Dye & Tutu Day Tomorrow (Wednesday)

/in /by

Tomorrow (Wednesday, 2-2-22), students can wear their favorite Tutu to school in celebration of international Tutu day.  If wearing a tutu isn’t of interest to your student, this will also be a Tie Dye dress down day.

Please note, this dress down day only applies if your student is wearing Tie Dye and/or a Tutu.  If your student does not wish to participate (or does not have either of these items to wear) they should be in regular uniform tomorrow.

Reminder For Bus Families

/in /by

Manchester public schools has just implemented early dismissal for their elementary students on Wednesday afternoons (for the remainder of this school year), which unfortunately impacts our bus service here at SJS (on Wednesday afternoons only).

Due to the conflict, we will have limited buses available to take our SJS students home from school on Wednesdays, which means more students on each bus and longer routes.

At any point, should you prefer to pick your student(s) up on Wednesday afternoons (instead of having them take the bus) please email their homeroom teacher.
