Today we received a note from one of our neighbors on Otis Street indicating that SJS parents are parking in the Otis Street Condo parking lot.

As a reminder, and please pass this along to anyone picking up/dropping off your children, the ONLY parking lot that is available for parents/caregivers picking up/dropping off students is the Saint James Church parking lot.

The only other option for parking is on-the-street parking (against the curb) in designated areas  – being careful not to block driveways.

In addition to the Otis Street Condo lot, parking is also not permitted in the St. Mary’s Church lot or any of our SJS Staff parking areas.

Thank you for your attention to this.

 

 

Please be advised that returning family registration information (for families with a child currently in our Pre-K3 through 7th grade) will be sent out via email on Monday, February 1st and will be due back no later than February 19th to secure your child’s spot for next year.

For younger siblings that will be new to Saint James School for Fall 2021, please reach out to our Admissions Coordinator, Amy Guenther, at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net or 860.643. 5088 (hit 8 when you get the automated menu to be directly connected) before the deadline to complete the preliminary paperwork.

If you have friends, coworkers, etc. who are interested in learning more about our school, please encourage them to reach out to Amy Guenther as soon as possible as it already appears (based on preliminary interest from new families) that most grades will have a wait list again next year.

 

As a reminder, there is no school this coming Monday (January 18th) in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday.

Mrs. Zorger wanted to share a quick note of gratitude to all our families for continuing to be so punctual with morning arrival.  The teachers really appreciate that all students are getting here on time each day and the whole class is ready to start when the bell rings.

On a similar note, please remember that if you are using the “drop and go” area in the morning (the are that spans the entire length of the building), your child should be fully ready to hop out of the car when you stop.  We are starting to see backups form as students need to get masks on, finish breakfast, or open the trunk to retrieve items, etc.  If this is the case when you get to the school area, please pull up and park in front of the Pre-Kindergarten building or on Otis Street.  “Drop & go” is meant to be a quick turnaround where you stop, the student hops out, and you pull away.  Thank you for your renewed attention to this.
