Saint James School will be dismissing at 12:05pm today due to the weather. School buses will be running. Students going to Aftercare must be picked up by 1:00pm. In addition, all after-school and evening activities at the school are cancelled.
Please drive safely and we’ll look forward to seeing everyone back at school tomorrow (or Monday, if school is closed tomorrow).
Please note, the Mad Science program has been cancelled for this afternoon. This session will be made up on January 23rd.
Also, Mark Your Calendars for the annual Saint James School “Bring a Friend Dance” – scheduled for February 7th from 7:00 to 10:00 pm. For this one special dance, Saint James Middle School students are allowed to invite a friend that does not attend Saint James. CHAPERONES NEEDED for this event. Please e-mail Regan at waltersripp@cox.net if you can volunteer.
We are excited to announce that Archbishop Blair will be visiting Saint James Church this Sunday, January 5th, and will be our celebrant for the 11:00am Mass. This is a special honor for us and we invite all Saint James School families to join us for the 11:00am Mass, followed by a special reception in the church hall.
Happy New Year! We hope everyone is well rested and ready to get back to school! Just a reminder that when we return tomorrow, January 2nd, it will be a dress down day in honor of your generosity with the toy drive. If we do not have school on Thursday due to weather, the dress down day will be on Friday.
Mr. Corcoran would like to remind all our band students that band and lessons will resume on Thursday so please remember your instruments.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who bought in toys for our Christmas toy drive. Many children who would have gone without will now have presents under the tree thanks to your kindness and generosity. In honor of your extremely generous support, we will have a dress down day on Thursday, January 2nd – the day we come back from break. Merry Christmas!
Below are pictures of the items still remaining in our lost & found (clicking the picture will enlarge it). The tables will be set up through the end of day Thursday. Please feel free to stop by at morning drop-off, afternoon pick-up, or during the day to see if any of these “lost” items belong to your family. After Thursday, any remaining sweatpants, sweatshirts, hats, gloves, etc. will be delivered to a local shelter or, if appropriate, sent over to our uniform closet.

Please be on the lookout for the Saint James School Family Directory, coming home with students today or tomorrow. One copy is being sent home per family (it will come home with the youngest child). Please remember, parents had to opt in or out of the directory, so not all SJS families will be included.
