Reminder: SJS Inclement Weather Policy

As a reminder – new this year – Manchester no longer has 90-minute delays. We will now have two-hour delays or, in rare cases, a three-hour delay:  2018-2019 SJS Inclement Weather Policy

Also, Saint James School follows the “Manchester Public Schools” for delays and closures.  If you have not already done so, please click HERE to sign up for alerts from NBC30 and/or HERE to sign up for alerts from WFSB Channel 3.

Please also sign up for notifications from Saint James School – Manchester CT in case there is ever a need for just our school to be closed.

 

Thank You – Saturday Coverage

Thank you to all our parent and student volunteers who came out to help as we hosted numerous JV basketball games (teams from all over the Deanery) this past Saturday.  Also, special thanks to our cheerleaders for cheering and to Sammy the Saber for making a special appearance!  Congratulations to the SJS JV Boys on their hard-fought win against Corpus Christi.  Our JV girls also played strong on Saturday but ended up with a loss to St. Timothy.

 

 

 

 

Basketball

Cheered on by our newly formed cheerleading squad, the SJS boys varsity gold and girls varsity basketball teams both enjoyed strong wins at home over Southington Catholic last night. This brings the boys’ record for the season to 9 – 3 and the girls’ record to 8 – 0!  Both teams will play again tonight at St. Gabriel school in Windsor.  The girls play at 6:30pm, followed by the boys at 7:30pm.

Great job SABERS!!

Volunteers Needed: Saturday Jan 5th at SJS GYM

Twice a year our school hosts the full slate of the league’s JV basketball games.  As such we are responsible to run the Scoreboard and Score book and handle Breezeway door entrance fee throughout the day.  The monies collected for the door goes a long way towards helping keep our Basketball player fee’s down and mitigate end of the year party expenses.

Our Boys JV team kicks off the games at 9 am and our Girls JV team has the last game at 3 pm.  There are 7 games in total.  We are hoping our Varsity Boys and Girls can sign up to run the clock and scorebook and then get Parents to volunteer to run the door and we will be selling  bottled water.

The link below will be used to help organize the volunteers.  Kids that volunteer will be credited for service hours so perhaps they can pair up with a school mate and help out for an hour or two. We only take a door fee for 2 dates throughout the year at Saint James so please take a look at this link if you can volunteer.

Please be sure to check the lost and found table in the breezeway if you have not already done so and your child is missing something.  All items left will be sent to the uniform closet or donated after break.
