/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolMrs. 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.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday’s butterfly release.
