Volunteers play a critical role here at Saint James School. Volunteers run many of our fundraising events, social events, and classroom parties. In addition, our sports coaches are all volunteers, many of our after-school activities are run by volunteers, our Saint James School Council (and related committees) are all volunteers, along with the Saint James School Foundation members. Volunteers provide countless hours tutoring students and helping with marketing-related duties. In short, volunteers play a very important role here at Saint James School!!
As such, one of our important activities during Catholic Schools Week (January 29th – February 4th) is to show our appreciation to our volunteers for their “Service” to Saint James School. This will be done with a special recognition for volunteers during our 9:00am Mass on Monday, January 30th.
Please join us so that all the students of Saint James School can see the faces of the dedicated parents and family members who donate their time and talents to helping making Saint James School such a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow.
Volunteers able to attend are asked to please complete the following form (link below) by Friday, January 20th.

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.
