Attention Remote Learners

Just a reminder to our remote learner families that students need to be logged in to their class by 8:00am to be counted as attending school.  We are starting to see students arrive “late” which is disruptive to the class and the classroom routine.

Also, for our remote learners in the upper grades, the teachers will be providing a half-day schedule for you to follow on Tuesday.  Please make sure you are in receipt of that prior to Tuesday morning.

Fall Fundraiser

All students (PreK-Grade 8) should have come home yesterday with our fall fundraiser packet from Cherrydale Fundraising.  This catalog-based fundraiser offers a wide-range of items including wrapping paper, kitchen gadgets, home decor, candles, cookies, cakes, and candy — there is something for everyone!

This year, all sales should be done online at ShopFund.com.  Please note our school is listed in the drop down as “St James School – Manchester 06040-5996” (you need to type it with no period after the “St” to get it to populate).

 

At the end of the fundraiser, students will earn prizes based on the total number of items sold.  In addition, throughout the sale, there are 3 chances to earn extra incentives.  Turn-in dates for “Oinksterz” incentives are:

Friday, September 25th

Friday, October 2nd

Wednesday, October 7th

On these dates, send your child to school with the “Oinkster” coupon on the back of the incentives color brochure in the fundraising packet.  The incentive will be processed and sent home with your child on the next school day.

This fundraiser is one of our most successful of the year and we appreciate your participation!  If you have any questions, please contact the school office or email our school’s fundraising Chair, Kate Davis, at 70greenbean@sbcglobal.net.
