We are seeing an exceptionally high number of tardy arrivals in our K-8 program lately. Tardy arrivals are disruptive to the classroom and teacher as students are walking into class during prayer and announcements. While we understand occasional issues arise (unusual traffic, etc), these should be few and far between. If your child is not making it to school by 7:45am, please adjust your morning routine accordingly.
In addition, if your child does come to school tardy, our policy is that an adult MUST come to the main office (with the student) to sign them in. Thank you to the parents that have routinely followed our posted protocol.

100th Anniversary T-Shirts
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolMerry Christmas from Saint James School! As part of our Centennial Anniversary Celebration and thanks to the support of several local businesses – we are excited to announce that SJS is gifting all current students and staff a 100th Anniversary Commemorative T-Shirt this Holiday season. Shirts will be coming home with students today or tomorrow. Please make sure the shirt fits your child and that you keep it in a good place as we will be designating special days throughout the remainder of the school year for students (and staff) to wear their shirts to school.
A huge THANK YOU to the following local businesses that helped make this possible for our school through their generosity: Shady Glen, Westown Pharmacy, the SJS Foundation, and our t-shirt vendor Artisan Ink!
