Halloween Dress Down

Halloween $1.00 Dress Down Tomorrow

In keeping with the fun spirit of Halloween, students in K – 8 may pay $1.00 to come to school in dress down attire on Halloween (Wednesday, October 31st). Dress down attire should be black, orange, white and/or purple. NO masks, costumes (except K and Pre-K), painted faces, or colored hair.

Money collected will go towards the construction of a Prayer Garden on the grounds of Saint James School.

Using CHET for Tuition

To anyone wishing to link a CHET account to FACTS for their tuition payments: The first step in the process is to contact your CHET account administrator and ask if they allow third party withdrawals. If they do, then ask them the procedure for doing this. If they don’t then you will have to withdraw the funds from your CHET account and place them in a checking or savings account for FACTS to withdraw your payments, if it is the same account that you are using now to make your tuition payments, you do not need to do anything else. If you are going to use a new account, you will need to log into your FACTS account and add the new account information for FACTS to use.  If you wish to pay the entire amount owed on your tuition you may do so by sending me an email with the date you wish the funds to be withdrawn.

Should you have any further questions, please email them to me at dmayo@saintjamsschool.net .

Important Cross Country Notice

Congratulations to our Middle School Students advancing to the State XC Competition this weekend.  In addition to today’s practice, there will be practice this coming Thursday at Wickham Park.  Mrs. O’Neill is in need of parent volunteers to bring the students to Wickham after school.  Please reach out to her if you can help.

All 5th grade runners and those not advancing to states must hand wash (and line dry) their uniform and return it to Mrs. O’Neill in a baggie (labeled with the child’s name) by the end of this week.  Please remember there is a charge if the uniform is not returned to the school.
