March Parent/Teacher Conferences
Saint James School has early dismissal (12:05pm) days scheduled for Wednesday, March 21st and Thursday, March 22nd for parent/teacher conferences. Please be aware that there will not be “sign ups” for these conferences as they are not mandatory. If you would like to schedule a time for a conference, please contact your child’s teacher to figure out the best time to meet during those two afternoons.
8th Grade “Outsiders”
Yesterday Saint James School 8th graders traded their uniforms for 1960’s attire in honor of finishing their coursework on the book The Outsiders. In addition to writing a cause and effect essay, students were given moral/ethical questions to consider both before and after they read the book. These questions were used for class discussions on tolerance, acceptance, empathy, and other themes central to the story. Below are some pictures of the students.
