As a reminder, parents/caregivers should not be parking/stopping for drop off in any areas where we have placed orange cones at arrival and dismissal. Our maintenance staff puts the cones out to remind families these are “no parking” areas. Please also remember, it is never appropriate to park in front of our neighbors’ driveways – even if the driver plans to remain in the car.
If you are running late to pick up your student, you must still park in a designated parking area and walk to the dismissal lot to get your child.
If you are picking up a student in the SJS office for an appointment before 1:50pm, you MAY park in front of the school for the few minutes it takes to run into the building and sign your student out. After 1:50pm, that area is off limits for parking.
Please share this information with anyone who drops off/picks up your student(s).
We appreciate your support of our published arrival and dismissal policies.

Reminder: Welcoming Archbishop Coyne to Manchester
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolSaint James School is excited to welcome The Most Reverend Archbishop Christopher J. Coyne to the town of Manchester on Monday, April 22nd. During his visit, Archbishop Coyne will tour both of our parish schools – Saint James and our sister school, Saint Bridget. Additionally, the Archbishop will celebrate a Mass at St. James Church with K – 8 students from both Saint James School and Saint Bridget School. (Please note, due to the capacity of the church and the number of students/staff that comprise our two parish schools, this Mass will NOT be open for parents, parishioners, etc. to attend).
As you may recall, Archbishop Coyne was appointed Coadjutor Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Hartford in June 2023 and will succeed Archbishop Blair upon his retirement this year.
We are excited to share our school and parish community with Archbishop Coyne!
Please note: All students must be in their regular uniform Monday (no gym uniforms).
