If your 1st-8th grade child will be using the school bus during the 2017-2018 school year and DID NOT use the school bus this past year, please contact the main office by Tuesday, June 27th and speak with Mrs. Sager to have them added to the bus list.  Also, if you have MOVED and need to change your child’s bus stop, please also call Mrs. Sager by Tuesday, June 27th to let her know.

Incoming Kindergarten students and families new to the school for the 2017-2018 year do NOT need to call the office.  We will automatically add your child to the bus list if you are a Manchester resident and selected “Bus Transportation” on your application form.  If you are unsure what you listed and need to make sure your child is on the bus schedule, you may e-mail Mrs. Sager at lsager@saintjamesschool.net.

Please note, Tuesday is the last day to get your bus request in.  The bus schedule is typically not available until a few days before school starts.  We will e-mail that schedule out when it is available.  (Incoming Kindergarten students will receive an individual e-mail with their child’s bus information).

Several weeks ago all parents, guardians, alumni, staff, and other friends of the school should have received a letter from Mrs. Kanute (along with the Spring SJS Community Newsletter) kicking off our 2017 Annual Fund Campaign.  Annual Fund donations provide our school with funding for much-needed capital improvement projects that are not covered by tuition or supported by the SJS Foundation.  This year, donations will help defray the cost of replacing another section of the school’s time-worn windows (in the cafeteria/gym wing of the school).

For those families and friends who have already donated, Thank You again for your support!!  With your generosity, we are already over 35% of the way to our goal in just the first few weeks!

If you have not yet made a (tax-deductible) donation, we hope that you will consider helping Saint James School stay strong for the future by making a contribution today.  Every donation – of every size – makes a difference!

Please visit www.saintjamesschool.net/annualfund to learn more and track our school’s progress toward our goal.

As always, we are very grateful for the ongoing, generous support of our wonderful school!

Tomorrow students will be attending church at 9:15am to commemorate the last day of school – all students should be in their REGULAR uniform tomorrow (no gym uniforms).  All SJS parents/grandparents are welcome to attend.

Please be advised, the Saint James School main office will be staffed Monday – Friday from 9:00am – 1:00pm during the summer.  Our Tuition Manager, Denise Mayo, will be in her office from 9:00am – 3:00pm Monday – Friday (with the exception of July 20 – July 30).

Attached please find the one page calendar for next year showing our planned vacations, days off, early dismissal days, etc.
