We are making a few uniform changes for the 2018-2019 school year. When you order uniform items for next year, you will notice the SJS online stores for both Dennis and Lands End Uniforms have been updated to reflect these changes:
Gym Uniform – We are eliminating the White t-shirt option. Please only purchase the Gray gym shirt going forward.
Middle School Dress Shirts – the White (boys) and Yellow (girls) oxford button-down shirts are being removed from our uniform dress code. Going forward, only blue button-down oxfords may be worn in the middle school (this mainly applies to the winter uniform for boys as very few girls select the yellow oxford).
If your child currently has the items being discontinued from our uniform policy we will still allow them to be worn in the fall. However, going forward please do not purchase any of these items as they will no longer be allowed after the 2018-2019 school year.
Socks & Shoes – Black socks have been added to the boys’ dress uniform. Navy Mary-Jane shoes have been added for girls in grades K-5 (must be navy not other shades of blue).
ADDITIONAL REMINDERS:
If your child opts to color their hair over the summer, it must be returned to its natural color by the first day of school to comply with the dress code. Also, mohawk-style hair is not permitted so if your child opts for this style over the summer, it will need to be returned to a traditional cut by the first day of school.
Thank you in advance for ensuring your child follows our school policies. Here is a printable copy of the 2018-2019 dress code.

IOWA Results Sent Home Yesterday
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolStudents in grades 3 – 7 were given their IOWA Standardized Testing Results to bring home yesterday (with the exception of Mrs. Wolpert’s class, which will come home today). If your child did not give you the envelope, please ask them for it. An explanation of each of the result pages is also included in what was sent home to help you understand the information. If you have any questions on the IOWA results, please contact your child’s teacher.
As a whole, our school had another stellar performance on this year’s standardized tests! While standardized testing is not something that we spend a lot of focus on, it does indicate that SJS students are learning and retaining information at a much higher level than in other schools. School-wide performance across the grades will be compiled over the summer and presented at the State of the School meeting next fall. Congratulations to our students and teachers on another exceptional year of academics and learning at Saint James School!
Report cards with final grades for the year will be sent home with students tomorrow (Friday).

IMPORTANT: 2018-2019 Calendar Change
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolReminder from last week: Last Monday, the Manchester Board of Education made the decision to amend their originally published 2018-2019 school calendar and change the week of April vacation. Since we follow the Manchester public school calendar, we need to change our week for April break as well. The attached calendar reflects the change. April vacation will now run Monday, April 15th – Monday, April 22nd (Good Friday is April 19 and Easter Monday, April 22). We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
