5th Grade Book Report
Fifth grade students are in the process of finalizing their first book report of the year (historical fiction). Today during library Mrs. Carpenter had each student share a synopsis of their book, whether or not they enjoyed the story, and if they would recommend the book to a friend. Great job Sabers!
Christmas Nativity Castle Club Begins Tomorrow

Grades Online (4th – 8th Grade)
As we approach our first Trimester Mid-Term (Friday), just a reminder that parents of students in grades 4th – 8th can go online and check their students’ grades. Each family has a unique id to go on and view their student’s work. All 4th graders and all new students in grade 5th – 8th should have received a letter via postal mail with information and their code.
If you did not receive a letter, please contact Mrs. Sager at (860) 643.5088 (option 1) or email her at lsager@saintjamesschool.net.
The link to check grades can be found at the bottom of our school website in the DARK BLUE QUICK LINKS box (See image Below)

Last Call: Aftercare Reminder
Ms. Jean would like to remind families using the Extended Day program that they must select the “full-time” or “part-time” program by October 15th. Please assess your Extended Day program usage and let Ms. Jean know if you wish to change the program you signed up for. After the grace period, you will be unable to switch programs.
Your first monthly billing statement (September) is available if you have not yet picked it up.
Please Let us Know: Cheerleading
We are excited to have an SJS parent who has volunteered to start and coach a Cheerleading Squad for our school! Practices would take place after school and the squad would cheer at some of our basketball games.
Currently we are considering opening this sport to girls in 5th – 8th grade ONLY. If your daughter is in 5th – 8th grade and would be interested in being a Cheerleader for SJS, please fill out the form below. Thank you to those who filled out the form yesterday.
We are also looking for a few parent volunteers who would be willing to assist the squad during after school practices and at games.
