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.
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.
As a reminder, students will be bringing home their 3rd quarter report cards today.
We have a family that is looking to start a carpool from Ellington. If you would be interested, please contact Mrs. DelSignore in the main office for information (860.643.5088 option 1).
Parents, please note that e-mails regarding absence, dismissal, health, and other child-specific information should be e-mailed to Mrs. DelSignore at mainoffice@saintjamesschool.net. Thank you.
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.
