There has been a time change for the Meet the Teachers/Back to School night for GRADE 5 PARENTS ONLY. On Wednesday, September 17, 2014 (tomorrow night), we will have Back to School Night from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in order to accommodate parents who also have a Middle School student.
Please note, the Scholastic Book Fair will only be open from 8:00am to 10:00am in the morning on Thursday (a change from the original schedule). It will then open again in the evening from 6:00pm-8:00pm before and during the “meet the teachers” night for Pre-K through 4th grade. Hours for the Book Fair for the remainder of the week are as follows:
Tuesday: 8:00am – 12:00pm
Wednesday: 8:00am – 2:00pm; 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Thursday: 8:00am – 10:00am; 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Friday: 8:00am – 11:00am
Just a reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday, is a half-day (12:05pm dismissal). Aftercare will be in session.
The office would like to remind families to return their corrected “Family Information Sheet” as soon as possible. If you do not have any changes, please note “no changes” on the sheet and return it to your child’s teacher. If you have misplaced this document, please call the main office for a new one. We want to ensure that all student/family information is correct in our system. Thank you.
This week is the Scholastic book fair at Saint James School. All classes will be going down to the gym to visit the book fair during school time and will have an opportunity to make a “wish list” of books they would like. Parents then have the option of sending in money for their child(ren) to purchase items on their wish list. The book fair will also be open beginning at 6:00pm during “meet the teachers” nights on Wednesday and Thursday.
Congratulations to Saint James School Gym Teacher Mr. Chris Green who is being inducted into the Rockville High School hall of fame this month for his accomplishments in Baseball, Basketball, and Soccer. In addition, Mr. Green is celebrating his 25th year as Gym Teacher at Saint James School. To celebrate all these accomplishments, several middle school students (wearing, of course, the color Green) and staff put on a surprise assembly on Friday in Mr. Green’s honor. Pictures from the assembly are below:
