As a reminder, in the event of an early dismissal, all SJS aftercare students must be picked up by 1:00pm.

Saint James school will be celebrating Catholic Schools Week this week with the following activities:
Dine-Out day/night at Tomato Joe’s;
Prospective Family Open House from 8:30am – 11:00am. (Please contact Amy Guenther if you know of a family interested in attending or scheduling a tour); There is no school for the Pre-Kindergarten students this day; Final day of collection for Community Partners in Action;
Moms’ Night Out (Hosted by the HSA) — Event is full;
Wacky Tacky Dress Down Day – Just like it sounds, students can come to school in wacky (or tacky) dress down attire. So be sure to pair those polka-dot pants with your favorite plaid shirt, and make sure your socks and/or shoes don’t match. Whatever helps you express your wacky style, today is the day to wear it! (Standard dress down guidelines apply – see the SJS Handbook page “9 of 18” for specific details…also for girls wearing yoga pants/leggings, shirts must hang to at least mid-thigh);
Blue & Gold/SJS Spiritwear Dress Down Day & School Pep Rally! Students may come to school dressed down in blue & gold (the school colors) or wear any Saint James School spiritwear. (Orders from the recent SJS spiritwear fundraiser should be in by Friday). Dress Down guidelines above apply.
Have a great weekend — We look forward to a fun week next week!
