The Saint James School HSA has arranged another Dine Out fundraiser with Olive Garden in Manchester for Tuesday, February 18th.  Visit Olive Garden (1550 Pleasant Valley Rd, Manchester) any time of day on February 18th and 10% of your bill will be donated back to Saint James School.  Simply print out the Olive Garden Dine Out Flyer and give it to your server.

Text Notification System

/in /by

For parents utilizing the Text Notification System for delays and cancellations through WSFB Channel 3, we are aware that there was an issue with the texts going out yesterday.  We have spoken to the station and they have fixed the problem.  If you continue to have issues receiving text notifications, please let us know.

As a back-up, we strongly recommend signing up for the Text Notification System from WVIT Channel 30 (the link for Channel 30 is also on the homepage of saintjamesschool.net under “School Delays & Closings”).  We have noticed that WVIT is consistently the first text we receive when there is a delay or cancellation. 

Fox 61 also has a Text Notification System.   Please remember to choose the option for Manchester Public Schools as that is the schedule we follow for closings and delays.
