With the end of the school year fast approaching, please take a moment to check your child/ren’s lunch account and ensure it is adequately funded to last them through the end of the school year.
Beginning June 1st, students must bring cash to school or have enough money in their account to purchase hot lunch. If there is no money in their lunch account and they forgot to bring in cash, they will be asked to come to the office to call a parent to bring them a lunch from home.
A couple of reminders you should review with your child:
**If your child asks for a water, the town will charge an extra $0.50
**If your child asks for extra food (above the normal portion), the town charges for that as well
If you have trouble checking your child’s lunch account balance, please contact Denise Mayo at dmayo@saintjamesschool.net.

Student Helpers Needed For Next Year’s SJS Masses
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolThank you to all our students who have volunteered to be readers, gift bearers, and greeters at our Sunday Children’s Masses at St. James Church. We have received wonderful feedback from about these monthly Masses from both SJS families and Saint James Parishioners.
We are now looking to recruit our Readers, Gift Bearers & Greeters for the coming school year. Students must be in Grades 3-8 (for the 2018-2019 school year) to participate. All SJS Children’s Masses are at 9:00am the 2nd Sunday of each month – September through June.
If your child would like to participate in one of these capacities, please send an e-mail to Cindy Herr at cndherr@cox.net listing the parent’s name, student’s name, participation preference, and Mass dates that you/they are available to attend. Please note, you do not need to be a parishioner at Saint James Church to have your child help/attend.
