As a reminder, Saint James School will have 12:05pm dismissal days tomorrow and Thursday of this week for parent/teacher conferences (aftercare is in session).  Please remember a Fall Conference is required for every student.  If you have not yet signed up, your child’s teacher will be reaching out to you with a date/time to meet.

For our school bus riders, the town has informed us that we WILL have all of our buses tomorrow (so no combined buses this Wednesday).

Dismissal Reminders

/in /by

A few reminders – please share with anyone that picks up your student:

1) No parking where there are any orange cones placed (or between cones). This is to help with traffic flow and visibility for our crossing guards.  The entire front of the school building AND one side of Otis are also off limits for parking for the same reasons.

2) Please cross at the crosswalk at all times.  Not only do we want to instill good safety habits with our students, but Park Street is way too busy at arrival and dismissal for families to be darting across.

Thank you!

 

Chromebook Reminder

/in /by

Attention Middle School Parents,

Please remind your student that the only charging cable they are to use with their Chromebook is the one given to them at the beginning of school.  Already this year we have had multiple Chromebooks stop working because their batteries were damaged using a cable that was not meant for them.

The cable provided by the school has the precise Hz needed to charge the Chromebook battery safely.  Using a higher Hz charger can cause the battery to swell and overheat; if this occurs the Chromebook is not covered under the insurance and you will be charged for any damage that needed to repair it.

Thank you for your attention to this.
