As a reminder from Mrs. Vignati, per state mandate students entering PRE-KINDERGARTEN, KINDERGARTEN and 7TH GRADE must have an updated physical form (pertaining to a physical within the last year) on file with the school prior to starting school this year.  Health forms are required even if your student will be doing DISTANCE learning.

If you have any questions regarding health forms, please call Mrs. Vignati at the school at 860.643.5088 (extension 3).

 

Since we were unable to have our traditional Grade 8 Banquet in June due to the pandemic, last evening Saint James School brought the Class of 2020 back to our campus for a special get-together. Students enjoyed Pizza – made and cooked right on the spot in a wood-burning oven – and specially made desserts while catching up and signing each other’s yearbooks. Here are

Manchester Residents with a child in our K-8 Program – IF your child/ren will be using our school bus transportation this coming school year, please complete this form for EACH child in your family that will be riding the school bus.  Please complete this information by Monday at 2pm at the latest.  After that time, information will be sent to the town of Manchester so they can begin building their routes for fall.

As another year of learning comes to a close we wish to Thank You again for choosing to be part of the Saint James School family, and for the various ways that each of you help make Saint James School such a special place! While this has been a year unlike any other in our school’s 97 years of operation, we hope your family has been able to experience and enjoy some of the silver linings that have come out of the pandemic.
