Upgrades at SJS Over School Break
We hope that everyone had a fun and relaxing April vacation! While the school was on break last week, our maintenance and technology staff were able to make some exciting upgrades and enhancements throughout the school.
First, the Saint James School cafeteria now has Air Conditioning! This will provide a much more comfortable environment for our students and staff during lunch/aftercare throughout the early and late school months.
Additionally, all of the computers in the school’s technology lab were retrofitted with new hard drives, faster processing speeds, Windows 10, and Office 2013. New learning software was also installed on all of the computers. All of the school’s iPads were also upgraded to the latest operating system and new, age-specific apps have been added to the 1st floor and 2nd floor iPad carts.
Spring Recess
As a reminder, Saint James School will be closed next week (April 11th-15th) for spring recess. We wish everyone a happy, relaxing vacation. We will see you back at school on Monday, April 18th.
Report Cards
As a reminder, students will be bringing home their 3rd quarter report cards today.

3rd Graders Dissect Owl Pellets
SJS 3rd graders have been learning about small animals and habitats as part of their science lessons. Recently, each student researched and hand-wrote a book about an assigned animal. This week, students dissected (sanitized) owl “pellets,” as they learned about owls and what they eat. (click pictures to enlarge)

Soccer practice for this evening has been cancelled due to field conditions. Mr. Sargent will follow up with an e-mail regarding Saturday’s games.

Recyclable Items Needed
The extended day program is requesting recyclable items for a Recycle Craft project which will be made on April 22nd in celebration of Earth Day. Please help us out by sending CLEAN items to the school such as: egg cartons, leftover wrapping paper, tin foil, paper towel rolls, cards and envelopes, magazines, and any other items that might be useful.
