Wreath Pick-up Tomorrow

For families that ordered wreaths through the HSA fundraiser, please note that pickup will take place tomorrow (Thursday) at the breezeway entrance between 1:45pm and 2:15pm.  For any families whose student will be in aftercare, the wreaths will be left for you to pick-up when you pick-up your student.  If you have any questions regarding this fundraiser, please reach out to parent volunteer Patricia McCarthy at hsa@saintjamesschool.net.  As always, we thank you for your support!

Extended Day Program Notice

To all Parents utilizing the SJS Extended Day (before/after school) program,

As of January 1, 2023, Saint James School will require all families that utilize the Extended Day Program to have the AUTOPAY feature enabled under the Incidental Billing section of FACTS.

If you are unsure if your Incidental Billing Autopay option is set up, please log in to your FACTS account and click on “Incidental Billing.”  If there is a button that says “Enroll in AutoPay” you need to set it up.

Please note, even though you may have the Autopay feature set up for your Tuition Account, you may not have it turned on for Incidental Billing (which is used for Extended Day payments).  Please check your account to avoid disruption to your Extended Day program usage.

For any questions, please contact our tuition manager, Denise Mayo, at dmayo@saintjamesschool.net.  Thank you.
