Mask Policy Update Reminder

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

Tomorrow: Blue & Gold Dress Down

/in /by

As a reminder, Saint James School will have our rescheduled Blue & Gold Dress Down Day tomorrow – Thursday, February 17th.

Parents, please note that our school’s policy book states that if a student opts to wear yoga pants/leggings on a dress down day, they must have a shirt that comes down to mid-thigh.

All standard dress down guidelines from the handbook apply to Thursday’s Dress Down, including:

  • Leggings are not permitted (unless the student is wearing a long shirt that comes down to mid-thigh)
  • No shorts, halter tops, half shirts, tank tops, and see-through tops
  • Waistbands must not sag below the waist. Pants legs must not drag on the floor.
  • High heels, platform shoes, flip-flops, open-toe sandals, and shoes with no backs are not allowed.
  • Clothing must not be torn, ragged, or have holes.

Parents will be called to bring a change of clothes if students are in dress down attire and school policies are not met.
