Saint James School invites you to become a Buddy Family for one or two of the many new families joining our elementary/middle school program for the 2021-2022 school year.  Being a buddy family does not require much time and is a great way to support our school community.  Buddy Families are asked to do the following:

*Call and welcome the new family(s) to the Saint James School community.

*Answer questions about the school, uniforms, events, and anything else pertaining to the school that you think is relevant to the new family(s).

*Look for your buddy family on the first day of school;  Have your child help the new student on the first few days of school (for buddy families with older students)

If you are interested in becoming a Buddy Family for the coming school year please FILL OUT THIS FORM.  Please feel free to contact Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net with any questions.

Thank you for helping us welcome our new families to the SJS community.

Tomorrow Saint James teachers in grades 1 – 7 will be covering the annual Child Lures safety program with their students.  Please EMAIL your child’s teacher/homeroom teacher this evening if you wish to opt them out of the lesson.

Child Lures Program 2021

Due to the continued heat expected over the next two days, Saint James School will dismiss at 12:05pm again tomorrow (Tuesday, June 8th) and Wednesday (June 9th).  Just like today, bus service will be available at 12:05pm for students that ride the bus and the after-school care program will be in session beginning at 12:05pm for students registered for that program. Lunch WILL be served prior to dismissal.

Students may continue to wear their gym uniform tomorrow and Wednesday to help keep them a bit cooler.

Just a reminder for returning Catholic families, if you have not yet submitted your Parish Affiliation Form to the Saint James School main office or our tuition manager, Denise Mayo, please note the form must be in no later than June 15th.

Mr. Corcoran would like to congratulate all the students in the instrumental music program who performed on May 19th and 20th outside in the courtyard.  All three bands performed well.   The following eighth graders received plaques for their participation in the instrumental music program throughout their time at SJS: Anya Avis, Stefaniya Barbieri, Anna Maria Bellamy, Brianna Flores, Greyson Grzesiakowski, Mary LaMonicia, and Michael Machewirth. Great job Sabers!

Tomorrow – June 2nd – the beginning band will do a demonstration for the SJS third graders.  An informational flyer regarding the Future Musicians Inc. Program will be coming home with all third grade students tomorrow (as a reminder, the instrumental music program is open to students in 4th grade and up).  Interested students may rent an instrument from SJS as early as this summer – the rental contact is due back by June 10th.

If you have any questions after reviewing the informational flyer, you can reach out to Mr. Corcoran at JCorcoran@snet.net.
