Congratulations to the Saint James School Class of 2013 which will graduate this evening. You have grown up before our eyes and we hope you take with you many wonderful memories of your time here at Saint James. We wish you continued success in your high school and college careers. Please remember to stop back and visit us! Here are some pictures from your last day at Saint James School
Incoming 7th grade students for Fall 2013: Current physical exams are required in order to enter grade 7 in August 2013. Currently there are many students in grade 6 that do not have updated physical and immunization records in their school health file. Please keep in mind that your child may have had a physical, however, the copy of the physical health form (State of CT Health Assessment Record (blue form)) may not have been send to the school nurse. Please contact the school nurse ASAP with any questions you may have.
All Parents/Guardians: A reminder to pick up all medications/equipment prior to your child’s last day of school. Students CANNOT bring them home themselves. All medication authorization forms need to be renewed annually for each school year. It is your responsibility to bring medications and a completed/signed medication authorization form to the nurse during the next school year, 2013-2014.
We had so many great pictures from field day! Here are some more that we didn’t post on Tuesday (pictures attached)
Yesterday the Saint James School 4th Grade class held its annual Science fair. Students did a fantastic job of coming up with creative ideas to showcase and presenting their findings to all the other grades.
A beautiful day for field day today, the students had a blast! We took lots of pictures to share…here are some from the first part of the day.
A great turn out and a beautiful day for the Mother/Son Event on Sunday. One of the moms took a cute picture (below) of a few of the boys by the pool. Thank you to everyone who came out to make the Saint James School mother/son event so much fun!
For students that played SJS Soccer this Spring, please remember to return the team shirts to the school office (in a bag labeled with child’s name) once your students have finished the season. Thank you.
Please read the information below from Dale Hoyt, Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of Hartford
Dear Catholic School Administrators, Parents/Guardians, Teachers, Students, and Friends of Catholic schools:
Thank you for your extremely hard work during the past few weeks, the General Assembly and Governor Malloy decided to fully restore the funding for buses (they also restored virtually all of the funding for public school buses — $24M).
Below is the text of line T625 of the Budget Bill, HB 6704, that shows $3.5M has been restored. The House of Representatives enacted the budget at 12:20am on Sunday, and the Senate will enact the Budget on Monday morning. I think that it is now safe for you to pull the alerts from your school websites. There is no need to make any more phone calls to the State Capitol at this time.
T625
Non-Public School Transportation
3,595,500
This is great news at the start of a new week.
Peace and blessings-
Dale R. Hoyt, Ed.D.

For those that didn’t see our post on Facebook this weekend, we are excited to announce that the Saint James School JV Amber (5th Grade) Soccer Team won their league championship on Saturday – 2nd year in a row for these kids!
Also, a huge congratulations to their coach – Jon Sargent – for winning the league’s Coach Sportsmanship Award for adhering to the principals of “Character, Commitment, Fairness, and Christ” in his coaching. A well deserved award for both Jon and his team who really demonstrated model sportsmanship (along with our SJS parents) during the games and after their wins.
Way to go Sabers!!
