As a reminder, the SJS Winter Uniform begins TOMORROW Thursday, November 1st. This means K-8 students may no longer wear shorts to school, girls must wear tights or knee-high socks with their skorts, and Middle School boys must wear their SJS Uniform button-down shirt and a tie on non-gym days.
All 1st – 8th grade students should wear their regular (non-gym) uniform tomorrow as they will be attending Mass at 9:15am.
The November lunch calendar has been added to the SJS website under the Quick Links section at the bottom. A copy may also be accessed HERE.
Please note, Mr. Corcoran has flipped the band days for Thursday and Friday of this week: On Thursday Nov 1st he will teach grades 6-8 and on Friday grades 4&5.
In keeping with the fun spirit of Halloween, students in K – 8 may pay $1.00 to come to school in dress down attire on Halloween (Wednesday, October 31st). Dress down attire should be black, orange, white and/or purple. NO masks, costumes (except K and Pre-K), painted faces, or colored hair.
Money collected will go towards the construction of a Prayer Garden on the grounds of Saint James School.
