We are hoping the weather will cooperate for tomorrow’s first outing for the SJS Ski & Snowboard Club. It looks like the weather will clear in the afternoon, but please keep an eye on email in case plans do change and the mountain is unable to open.
For students/adults riding the bus to Mt. Southington, the gymnasium doors will be open at morning arrival for students to drop off their ski/snowboard equipment and bags with snowpants, helmets, gloves, etc. Students will have an opportunity to change out of their uniform attire in the afternoon before boarding the bus. Students will receive their lift tickets and rental agreements (where applicable) on the bus. Please make sure your child has a note informing their teacher they will be going to ski club after school.
Also, please make sure you have reviewed the parent informational letter from Mr. Joyner that was emailed to parents of participants.

Tomorrow: MAP Testing
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolTomorrow:
Please note that SJS 3rd – 8th grade students will take the next round of our new MAP Adaptive Assessments first thing in the morning tomorrow – Wednesday, January 18th.
Please pay particular attention to ensuring your child/ren get to bed on time the evening before each testing day and that they have a nutritious breakfast each morning. Also, it is important that students get to school on time each day as testing will begin right after morning announcements.
Any student coming in tardy on a testing day will have to wait in the office until the testing period is over and will have to make up that test at another time.
If you would like to read the original announcement about this new testing program that was implemented this year at schools throughout the Archdiocese, you may do so HERE.
Thank you.
