There will be an optional “Story Book Character” Dress Up Day for students in Pre-K through 4th grade this coming Thursday, March 2nd, in honor of Dr Seuss’ birthday (also known as Read Across America Day).  Please note that if your student does not want to dress as a storybook character, they need to come to school in their regular uniform attire.  Please remember that standard dress down guidelines as per our handbook apply for students that wish to dress up on Thursday.

Also this week, our Librarian – Mrs. Tierney – will also be kicking off the Hats off To Reading Contest for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade.  The contest begins March 1st and will run the entire month of March.  Additional Reading Logs will be available on our website under the Forms/Docs page or can also be requested from Mrs. Tierney during the student’s library period.  Please encourage your student to read as much as they can to help their grade win a prize!

As a courtesy to your child’s teacher and our office staff, any time you will be picking your child up early from school (even if they will be returning after an appointment), please notify the teacher via a note from home the day of – or an email the night before.  If there is a change in your child’s schedule after they have left for school, please call the main office (teachers may not always have an opportunity to check email during the day).  Thank you for your support.

We are excited for our 5th & 6th grade social/Cornhole tournament tomorrow evening here at Saint James School.  Thank you to our teams that registered to participate and to the parents that indicated they would stay to help out our HSA parent volunteers at the event!

Please remember the cost is $5 per participant, payable at the door.   Snacks and drinks will be provided, in addition to trophies for the winning teams.

The gymnasium doors will open at 6:00pm and the event will end at 7:30pm.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow night!
