Mrs. Kanute would like to again thank all of our parents for their efforts to get their children to school on time the last few days: We are getting better with only 4 tardy arrivals today. Please continue your efforts to have your child(ren) at school in a timely manner so that they are not disrupting the classroom morning routine. Detentions will continue to be given out for tardy arrivals without a truly valid reason.
Also, Mrs. Kanute is again asking that parents DO NOT PARK where there are posted “No Parking” signs. There are lots of children, parents, and grandparents walking outside at drop-off and pickup and these no-parking signs were purposely put in place in specific areas with their safety in mind. If the person picking-up has difficulty walking or has an infant/several young children, please call Mrs. Kanute to discus parking arrangements. Also, please remember children must always exit the vehicle in the morning on the SIDEWALK side.
If you have a family member or friend picking up your child(ren) at the end of the day or dropping them off in the morning, please re-confirm with them that they are aware of the drop-off and pick-up rules. The school administration suspects that perhaps we have people still parking incorrectly because they are not aware that the no-parking signs are in place for a very specific reason.

Basketball Games Concession Stand Volunteers Needed
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolChips, candy, water, soda & gatorade! Everyone enjoys refreshments while watching the game! Starting this Saturday (1/14/2017), concessions will be sold during all basketball games in the SJS gym.
In order to make this a fundraising success, middle school students and parent supervisors are needed to work the concession table between the hours of 9:00am and 2:00pm. Students in grades 7 & 8 can volunteer their time for service hour credit. The volunteers do not need to stay the entire 5 hours, as we are hoping to split the hours between several willing parents. If you are willing to volunteer at future games, but can’t make this one, please let us know.
For more information and if you or your student are able to help at all during any of these hours, please contact Andrea Piotrowski as soon as possible at ampiotrowski@yahoo.com or 860-833-5646. Thank you.
