Saint James School is excited to celebrate and honor the Grandparents of our Kindergarten – 5th Grade students on October 28th!  Please review all the details below and complete the RSVP form by Wednesday, October 19th; Guest and dismissal information provided via this form will be shared with teachers.

Guest Arrival
We will welcome all visitors with a special program in the Gym starting at 10:00am (Gym doors will be open at 9:45am).  After the program, visitors will be guided to the classrooms to enjoy a special activity with their grandchildren.  Please make sure visitor(s) know which teacher your child has.  Also, please keep in mind when determining who to invite that our school has multiple stair levels and no elevators.

Guest Guidelines
While grandparents are our intended special guests for this day, if your K – 5 child does not have a grandparent that is able to join us, a special guest (NOT an SJS parent) is welcome to attend in place of the grandparents.  With limited space in the classroom and the nature of the day, however, if grandparents will be attending please do not invite other individuals as well.  Thank you for understanding.

Dismissal Info
October 28th is a 12:05pm dismissal day, however students may be dismissed with their grandparents when the classroom activities are complete (typically this is around 11:30am).  There is a place in the RSVP form below to note if your student will be staying until 12:05pm or being dismissed early on this day.  Older or younger siblings that are not part of this program may also be dismissed early on this day (please also provide this info in the form).
