If your family may qualify for Free or Reduced lunch through the town, please stop by the Main Office to pick up a form.

Please note, the town of Manchester is using a NEW bus company this year so the bus number for your child has likely changed from last year.  Please expect some bumps for the first few days as the new company gets to know our town.

If you are a Manchester resident and signed up for your child to use the school bus, please click HERE to access information for your street (this link is the only information the town/bus company has provided our school thus far – we apologize that bus scheduling has not been as smooth as in prior years).

Please drop by and join us in the school Cafeteria tomorrow morning (August 31st) from 7:55am-9:00am for our “Boo Hoo!/Woo Hoo!” Welcome Back Coffee & Danish Social – sponsored by the Saint James Home & School Association.  Come catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and ask those last minute questions you may have!  We look forward to seeing you!

Parents of students entering grades 5 – 8 next year:  please remember if your child plans to run Cross Country, practice begins on September 5th.  Please ensure that you have a copy of the sports health form ready for the first day of school (attached below) as well as a copy of the Cross Country participation form (also below).

Please note, the last date to order school supplies online to receive them in time for school is this Sunday – August 13th.

This summer you have the option to order your child’s school supplies online and have them delivered directly to your home.  In addition, Saint James School receives a percentage of every sale – convenience for you and a great way to support SJS!  Plus, even if you already have some of the supplies leftover from prior years, you can choose not to include those in your purchase.  New this year, you can also purchase items on our teacher wish lists!  Visit schooltoolbox.com and select “Find Boxes Now” to check it out or to begin placing your order.  You can see the information flyer here.
