Saint James Classmates Connect Through Skype

Ajay, who is visiting family in India, is using Skype to participate in select lessons with his classmates back at Saint James School. In turn, students here at home are not only staying in touch with a friend, but learning more about the country of India (where it is currently 95 degrees!), as Ajay relays experiences about his visit.

Notice About School Roof
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolLast week Mrs. Kanute sent home a letter concerning areas of our school building that have experienced leaks as the snow and ice on the roofs began to melt. As noted in Mrs. Kanute’s letter, a second air quality test was being performed to ensure that the air quality upstairs continues to be safe for our students and faculty.
The results from the independent test showed all samples collected to be at levels that are “safe for normal use and occupancy.” Mold counts inside the building were significantly lower than those outside. A copy of the report is attached below should you wish to read it.
