As a reminder, all returning families who will be using the Extended Day program this coming school year must re-register with the program by August 1st to help us determine staffing levels. If you misplaced your paperwork or will NOT be using the Extended Day program this coming year (and you DID use it last year), please contact Jean Burdick at jburdick@saintjamesschool.net to let her know.
All families new to Saint James School this year who will be using the Before and/or After School Care program are also asked to register their child(ren) by August 1st. Thank you.
This summer you again 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, if you already have supplies left over from prior years, you can choose not to include those in your purchase. Visit the School Toolbox Website (click to access) and type in St. James School Manchester, CT in the search box.
Please remember to order supplies well in advance to ensure they arrive before the first day of school.
If you plan to purchase the supplies at a local retailer, the 2016-2017 supply lists are available under the Forms & Documents section of our website: Click HERE and scroll down to General School Documents.
If your child will be running Cross Country for SJS this year (available to grades 5th – 8th), please remember to have the school’s sports health form filled out by your doctor before school starts. Cross Country usually begins soon after school is back in session and your child will not be able to participate until the school has this document – signed by the child’s doctor – on file. As a reminder, this form only needs to be completed one time a year and can be used for all SJS sports.
Please be advised our Tuition Manager – Denise Mayo – has closed down her MSN e-mail address. Please update your e-mail address books to ensure you are using the dmayo@saintjamesschool.net e-mail address going forward. She is also available via phone at 860.643.5088 (select Option 7 on the main menu to be directly connected). Our school website has been updated to reflect this change.
The school office will be open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 9:00am – 1:00pm.

As our school year comes to a close, a few important reminders:
Thank you to all our parent and staff volunteers for helping make Field Day 2016 so much fun for our students! Special thanks to Mrs. Reilly for coordinating the day, and Mrs. Toomey and Mrs. Piotrowski for the great pictures!
A fun, end-of-year tradition for Saint James School 5th Grade Students – reenacting the revolutionary war with water balloons and squirt guns. Special thanks to the 5th grade teachers for arranging this fun event and to Mrs. Toomey for sending in the great pictures!
