School Toolbox:

This summer you will once again have the option to order your child’s school supplies online and have them delivered directly to your home! In addition, Saint James School receives a percentage of every sale – convenience for you and a great way to support SJS! Plus, if you already have supplies left over from prior years, you can choose not to include those in your purchase. Click Here to Visit the School Toolbox Website.

For parents with a student that rides the SJS school buses – First Student will continue to use FirstView, a bus tracking and parent communications app for your smartphone or desktop.

FirstView allows you to track where your child’s bus is in real-time. You can also create a ‘geo-fence’ so you will get an alert when the bus is within a certain distance of your child’s stop, and there’s a multi-stop view if you have multiple students on different buses.

For access visit firstviewapp.com or find FirstView® in the App Store or Google Play.

For step-by-step instructions, you can click here.

As you create an account you will have to supply district code 6S4M. You will also need to know your child/children’s bus number(s). 

If you have technical questions, you can contact FirstView at 888-889-8920 from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can also email Customer Support at support@firstviewapp.com or use the in-app “✉” button to provide feedback.

If your child will be running Cross Country this year (open to students in grades 5 – 8), please complete the Google Form below by Wednesday, July 26th to help us get a headcount as we are planning to order new uniforms for our runners.

As a reminder, the Athletics Health Form (signed by your child’s doctor), the Cross Country Permission Slip, and the $60 sports/activity fee will be due to the school office by Thursday, August 31st.

If your child/ren are interested in participating, please ensure they begin training over the summer.  Please find HERE some helpful information from Coach Page that your runner may wish to follow.  Runners must have the endurance to run distances of 1-3 miles (without stopping) at the start of the season.
