Thank you to all of our families for your assistance in ensuring a smooth and safe morning arrival (and afternoon dismissal). We appreciate the extra caution and adherence to our polices so that everyone has a great start (and end) to their school day!
A couple of reminders from the school office and from our crossing guards:
* We continue to see an excessive number tardy arrivals each day. K-8 students should be in the building by 7:50am so that teachers can begin their class time when the bell rings without interruption. Students were reminded about the importance of punctuality during morning announcements today;
* Please remember that cars should never stop ON (or too close to) a crosswalk;
* And, lastly, please walk in front of the crossing guards (not behind) for safety reasons.
Thank you again!

Important Notes for Conferences
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolPlease note the following:
* Teachers will email their Zoom Link to you in advance of your conference time. Please reach out to them via email if you do not receive it.
* Please make sure you are using your name or your child’s name for your Zoom ID so the teacher knows who is in the waiting room.
* Please be on time for your conference. Teachers will be holding firm to the 15 minute time allotment.
* The teacher will be in a secure, private area for the conference. Please ensure that you are doing the same on your end.
Last Call: Box Tops
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolSaint James School will be sending one last batch of physical Box Tops in for redemption TOMORROW (box tops clipped off of product packaging). If you still have any of the physical Box Tops at your house, please send them in to the SJS Main Office by this Thursday (10/21) so our school can get credit.
So far this year, our school has earned $106.80 from box tops (mostly from receipt scans). Please download the Box Tops App (if you have not already done so) and scan your receipts when you purchase any participating Box Tops product. It’s super easy!
You can also refer friends and family members to participate for Saint James School and earn an extra bonus!
When we reach $1,000 (money that is used for classroom supplies, books, etc.) the whole school will get a dress down day!
