As a reminder, Mr. Corcoran will hold a parent meeting this evening – Monday, September 11th – for any grade 4 – 8 parents whose student(s) are interested in joining the SJS band for the first time this year.

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who came out for our first Home & School Association meeting – It was wonderful to see so many new and returning parents interested in getting involved with our fun community!  The HSA has lots of wonderful events planned for our students and families this school year and – of course – the more involvement we have from our parent/grandparent community, the more that we can do!

Below you will find a sign up sheet for SJS parents/grandparents to indicate what events they would like to assist with.  Everyone is welcome to help, but please remember you do need to complete the background check and VIRTUS training before the event date – IF you have not already done so over the summer or in prior years (this only has to be done one time during your SJS tenure).

St. James School HSA Volunteer Sign Up 2023-2024

Any questions can be directed to our HSA President, parent volunteer Patricia McCarthy, at hsa@saintjamesschool.net.

Thank you again for your support!  We are looking forward to another great year!

To thank our students for a great start to the school year especially with the unusual heat and humidity these past few days, Mrs. Zorger would like to treat all SJS Pre-K through Grade 8 students to a nice cold Popsicle tomorrow around mid-morning/before dismissal.  The nurse is ensuring all teachers are aware of allergies, but if you have any concerns about your child having a Popsicle, please do not hesitate to email their homeroom teacher this evening or early tomorrow.

Tomorrow – Friday, 9/8 –  is the first “Ticket Turn-In Day” for the Cherrydale Fundraiser.  Students participating in the fundraiser should bring any applicable tickets (signed by the parent/guardian) to school tomorrow in a baggie or envelope.  Please be sure to label that with your child’s name.

Students will be called to the SJS office by homeroom after morning announcements tomorrow to pick up their “Dawgz.”   (All the additional prizes that are part of this fundraiser come to SJS AFTER the fundraiser ends and will be sent home with students at that time).   Here is a fun video about the Cherrydale fundraiser prizes:  https://vimeo.com/847124780
