Within the past hour we have received notification that all Manchester Public Schools (MPS) will temporarily move to full remote learning, beginning Monday, due to the growing number of quarantined MPS staff members and students.
Please note, at this time, Saint James School is NOT impacted by the shut down and will continue to offer in-person learning for our students. In addition, SJS will continue to have bus service and hot lunch service (both of which are provided to us through the town) next week without interruption.
While we are fortunate that our school has not been impacted by a substantial number of quarantines, the announcement from MPS continues to underscore the importance of keeping students home if they show any sign of illness or have been exposed to someone who may be ill. We, too, are limited in the number of substitute teachers at our disposal on any given day and with cases continuing to be on the rise throughout the state, we really need everyone to be extra vigilant right now.
Thank you again for your ongoing support.
