If you are dropping off a child in front of the school breezeway in the morning, please do not pull away WHILE watching your child walk into school.  You need to be looking in front of you and closely watching the crossing guard (and the entire crosswalk area).

The crossing guard was in the crosswalk this morning and had a very close call with a parent’s car (due to them watching their child and not the road). Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened. We really need everyone doing their part to ensure a safe start to our school day.

Also, as a reminder, we do not allow dogs on our property during morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal (even when we dismiss outside).

The safety of our students and families continues to be our number one priority.  Thank you for your attention to these matters. 

Please pass this information along to any family members/caregivers not in our email group but take part in dropping off or picking up.

With the gym being set up for the Scholastic Book fair this week, afternoon dismissal of K – 8 students (“Walkers”) will be outside in the Pre-K parking lot today – Monday (9/23) – through Thursday (9/26).  For families new to the K-8 program, outside dismissal is done the same as in the gym – with Kindergarten lining up by the grassy area and 8th grade closest to the street.

Please also note, you will be unable to park in the Pre-K area parking lot at pick-up for these four days.

Outside Dismissal has been added to the SJS APP Calendar.  If you “subscribe” to our full events calendar, the outside dismissal note should automatically be added to your personal calendar for these 4 dates.

Congratulations to all our runners for an outstanding performance at Friday’s meet in Southington.  A few notable standouts:

Cora Tierney, in her first cross country race, placed 20th in the girls’ 6th grade category (she is also a 5th grader).

Maya Fisher ran a strong race, placing 8th and reviving a medal for her win in the girls’ 7th grade race.
