Also, please remember that next Thursday and Friday (November 17th & 18th) are both 12:05pm dismissal days for parent/teacher conferences.  Aftercare will be in session but students going to aftercare will need to bring a lunch from home as there is no hot lunch served on early dismissal days.

November 23rd is also a 12:05pm dismissal day (aftercare is in session) with no school on November 24th and 25th in observance of Thanksgiving.

SJS Student Mass @ Saint James Church

/in /by

Please join us this Sunday, November 13th at 9:00am for a special school mass, where Saint James students will be serving in many capacities.  A reception in the lower church will follow the mass with coffee, juice, and donuts provided.

All Saint James School students and their parents are encouraged to come show support for our school.  In addition, Saint James School students are encouraged to wear their school uniforms (all students serving in any capacity at these masses must wear their SJS winter uniform).  This is a great way for the Saint James Church parishioners (many of whom very generously support our school through a monthly school collection and donations to our Annual Fund) to see the exceptional students they are investing in.

All Saint James School families are welcome regardless of faith or home parish.  We hope to see you there!
