Veterans Day Celebration Pictures

SCHOOL IS IN SESSION MONDAY/NO HOT LUNCH SERVED

Please note we DO have school on Monday.  However, THERE WILL BE NO HOT LUNCH SERVED.  All Students will need to bring a lunch or drink from home on Monday 11/12/18.

Advanced Band Notice

Advanced Band members need to bring their instruments to school on Monday as they will be performing at our Veterans’ Day Assembly.

IMPORTANT: Hot Lunch Balance

Parents: Please log into your student’s lunch account with the Town of Manchester and make sure there is enough funds for your student to purchase lunch, milk, water, etc.

If you find that there is a negative balance in their account, please add funds to cover the negative balance and enough extra for them to make future purchases.  You may do this online with a credit card or send a check to school on Monday made out to “Manchester Hot Lunch Program.”

The card we give your student to purchase their lunch is not a credit card, it works like a debit card. The funds need to be in their account in order for them to pay for their lunch.

If you have any questions about you child’s account please contact Denise Mayo at 860-643-5088 or dmayo@saintjamesschool.net
