Tardy Reminder

/in /by

Mrs. Zorger would like to remind parents of the importance of bringing your child(ren) to school on time each morning.  There were an excessive number of late arrivals this morning.

Please remember, late arrivals are disruptive to the teacher, morning announcements, and the classroom routine.   If you find yourself not making it to school between 7:30am and 7:50am (students should be in line with their class by the 7:55am bell), Mrs. Zorger asks that you please take a few moments today to talk to your child/ren about the importance of being punctual and help them readjust their morning schedule accordingly.

The Saint James School “Now Enrolling” lawn signs are out of storage and looking for homes (literally).  If you live in a medium to high traffic area or neighborhood (or own a business in a high-traffic area) and are willing to put a sign on your lawn in support of Saint James School, we would appreciate it!  Signs can be picked up in the main office at the front desk or please call/e-mail Amy Guenther at the school to arrange drop-off.

As always, we appreciate any support you can provide in promoting our school!

The 1st grade classes have also been reading stories about butterflies and even visited the butterfly encounter on their field trip to the science center last week.  Here are a few pictures from yesterday’s butterfly release.
