Gym Uniform
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolAs a clarification, students should only be wearing the white or gray short-sleeve uniform shirt on gym days, not shirts that were sold as spiritwear for the school or a particular school sport. Gym pants/shorts may be the SJS sports-related spiritwear (otherwise, they must be plain navy).
Fidget Spinners
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolSeveral students have been bringing “Fidget Spinners” to school during the past week. Saint James School does not allow these items during school time. Fidget Spinners that are out of a child’s backpack while on school grounds will be confiscated and returned to the parents at afternoon pickup. An announcement was made at school today regarding this so all students should be aware. Thank you for helping reinforce our policies with your child(ren).
Good Luck!
