We are excited to welcome the grandparents/special guests of our Kindergarten – 5th Grade students to Saint James School this Friday!  RSVP lists have been given to the teachers, along with dismissal information for each student with a guest attending.

If your child will have a grandparent visiting on Friday, here are some reminders to pass along to visitors:

Guest Arrival
We will welcome all visitors with a special program in the Gym starting at 10:00am (all guests will enter through the Gym doors, which will be open starting at 9:45am).  Coffee and light refreshments will be available for guests.  After the program, visitors will be guided to the classrooms to enjoy a special activity with their grandchildren.  Please make sure visitor(s) know which teacher your child has.

Parking
Parking can occur in the same areas as afternoon dismissal, including the St. James Church parking lot. The large parking lot between the Pre-K and main school buildings will also be opened for parking at 9:40am (the lot will be coned off until 9:40am as classes will be outside for gym class).  Cars parking in this lot should only be guests leaving before our 12:05pm dismissal time.

The Saint James School HSA is hosting a dine-out night (4:00pm – 8:00pm) tomorrow night – Tuesday – October 24th – at Panera Bread (179 Deming Street, Manchester).

Show the flyer below on your phone and 25% of the proceeds from your purchase will be donated back to Saint James School.

Calling all 7th & 8th grade students who are interested in problem solving and having fun while building confidence with respect to Math:  One of our awesome parent volunteers has offered to host the SJS Math Club again this year if there are enough interested students. The group would meet from 2:00pm – 2:45pm on the dates of October 30, November 27, and December 11.

Participation is free and will use the Mathcounts platform, however if there is enough interest the group may participate in the competition portion of the program (which would cost $35 per student).

Please COMPLETE THIS FORM (click link) to let us know if your student would like to participate (form will close Monday morning).

Due to the 12:05pm dismissal tomorrow (Wednesday) we WILL have all of our buses (instead of the typical combined Wednesday routes).  Please be sure you communicate to your child and their teacher how your student will be getting home tomorrow if this presents a change from normal Wednesday dismissal plans.
