We are excited to announce that plans are underway for the 2021 Connecticut Catholic School Spring Soccer Season!  The season will run from mid April through early June and will follow the CIAC Health and Safety Protocol for spring sports.  Students in grades 3 – 8 are eligible to participate in the soccer program and no previous soccer experience is required.

Please note that students will need the 2020-2021 Athletics Health Permission Form completed and signed by their doctor in order to play (you may email Mrs. Sager in the front office – lsager@saintjamesschool.net –  if you are unsure whether or not your child has a form on file this year).

If your child/ren is interested in playing soccer for SJS this year, please complete the attached form by Tuesday, March 9th.  We are also in need of coaches and parent volunteers to oversee the students on the sidelines.

When using the drop-and-go line in the mornings, please ensure that you pay full attention when pulling back out into the flow of traffic.

* Please do not “watch” your child walking into the school while pulling out into traffic;

* Please use your blinker and take a moment to check your mirrors and surrounding area before pulling back into the road. Drivers in the street have the right of way.

There have been too many “close calls” recently and we need everyone to do their part to keep our parents and students healthy and safe.

Report Cards for the second trimester will be sent home with students today (remote learners will have report cards with their pick-up items this afternoon).
