Last Call: Fall 2020 K- 8 Survey

/in /by

Thank you to all our SJS families for your support and efforts to help us make this a great school year for our students!

As we head into the second half of the Fall trimester, we would like to take this opportunity to gather some general feedback from our K-8 parents/guardians regarding this school year.  Please take a few moments to answer the survey below for each child in your family (we request that only ONE parent/guardian per family complete the survey).

Please note, after the first question (Grade) there are two separate sections based on if your student is a REMOTE LEARNER or an IN-PERSON LEARNER this Fall.

The survey will close Friday at 2:00pm.

For any families that ordered school pictures, please note that the individual portraits are being sent home with students today.  If you are unhappy with the pictures (or for students that were absent for picture day), please note that the retake day is Monday, November 30th.

For any families that ordered class pictures, there was a printing error impacting all grades so those will be sent home separately when we receive them.

For remote-learner students, pictures can be picked up with classroom materials this Friday afternoon.

SJS Children’s Mass This Sunday

/in /by

This Sunday, October 11th at 9:00am, Saint James School will host our second children’s Mass of the new school year.  All Saint James School students and their parents are invited to attend in a show of support for our school!  One of our 6th grade students will be doing the readings.  Unfortunately, we won’t have students serving in other capacities at this time due to the current safety protocol.  Please remember masks are required in church.

Saint James School students are encouraged to wear their school uniforms.  This is a great way for the Saint James Church parishioners (many of whom very generously support our school) to see the exceptional students they are investing in.

All Saint James School families are welcome regardless of faith or home church.
