Saturday's Celebration of Sharing Cancelled / Sunday's Pizza With Santa Is On!

Just a reminder that Saturday’s Celebration of Sharing has been cancelled and instead, we are  joining the Knights of Columbus, who are sponsoring “Pizza With Santa” this Sunday (December 16th) from 1:30pm – 4:30pm in the Saint James Church Basement (RSVPs forms were due yesterday).

If you have any questions about the Pizza With Santa event, please contact Mary Ann Creamer at margy@att.com or you can e-mail info@saintjamesschool.net.  Also, should any parents wish to bring a dessert to share (cookies, etc), there will be a small dessert table set up.  We will also have a table where we will be selling the remaining Saint James School spirit wear (cash/check).

We look forward to seeing you there!

Friday's School Pick-Up – Important!

If you pick-up your child(ren) at the end of the day, parking will be limited to the Saint James Church Main parking lot only.  We ask that you do NOT park in the area behind the rectory (double car spots near the church) or in the spots behind the church (right off of St. James Street).  You will not be able to enter the parking lot from St. James Street.  Instead, we ask all parents to enter the parking lot through the main entrance on Park Street.

Saint James School In Yesterday's JI

Some of our third graders were featured in the “Out & About” section of yesterday’s Journal Inquirer.  The text was slightly abridged, so here is the full version, along with the picture that was in the paper:

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, third Graders at Saint James School adopted the name of a historic Native American which they have been using in class all month long.  The students also weaved headbands to wear and have completed a research paper on their Native American namesake to share with the class.


Pictured are (Back L to R) Geronimo (Peyton Carpenter), Susan LaFleshe (MaKenzi Pelletier), Sitting Bull (Kevin McCarthy), Wilma Mankiller (Tahlia Crowley);  (Front L to R) Tonita Pena (Isis Edwards), Plenty Coups (Kevin Zaluda), Maria Tallchief (Emma St. Jean) and Chief Joseph (Jaideep Naik).

Morning Drop-Off

Please review these friendly reminders about morning drop-off from Mrs. Kanute:

  • If you are doing curb-side drop off in the morning, your children must have their backpacks ready to go when the car stops.  Please do not have children’s backpacks in your trunk.
  • Parents are not permitted to get out of their car at curb-side drop off.  If you want to walk your child to the door, you may park against the curb by the pre-kindergarten building and walk them up.
  • Please do not park across the street from the breezeway and gym.  This is dangerous and creates traffic flow issues.  Parking on the opposite side of the street across from the Pre-Kindergarten is fine.
  • Please remember that we have almost 400 students coming into our building in the morning.  Please plan to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early so that we can ensure a safe and organized drop off for all parents and students.

As always, we thank you for your support in adhering to our school policies.
