For families that park and drop off on Otis Street at morning arrival, please note the following reminders:

1) DO NOT park your car on Otis Street facing towards Saint James School.  If you are parking on Otis Street, you should be turning from Park Street only (not coming up Otis Street and crossing the road to park).  We witnessed several incidents this morning that caused congestion and dangerous situations with traffic flow and students in the crosswalk.

2) DO NOT make a K-Turn/U-Turn on Otis Street.  This road is very busy in the mornings and making a K-turn/U-turn creates unneeded congestion.

3) DO NOT Drop your student off on the Stop Sign side of Otis Street.  Please take the extra moment to pull up in front of Saint James School.  Cars are constantly turning onto Otis Street during morning arrival and dropping on the “wrong” side is not safe for students or the crossing guard.  Also, please do not park your car on the “wrong” side of Otis Street – even for a few minutes.  Again, this causes congestion and unsafe conditions.

Your support and cooperation will keep traffic flowing and ensure that our students arrive safely at school each day (as well as provide a less stressful start to everyone’s morning).  Thank you again.

A HUGE congratulations to SJS 6th grader Tiffany Barbieri on winning the Americanism Essay contest for the Manchester Elks Lodge!  Tiffany will be reading her essay at the Flag Day Ceremony on June 14th!!

Saint James School has also been invited to host a group of students to sing at the event.  If your child/ren would be interested in performing a couple of patriotic songs at this event, please fill out the Google Form below.  Mrs. Schrager has volunteered to work with interested students during school hours to put together a short performance.
