Grades Online (4th – 8th Grade)

/in /by

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)

Please Let us Know: Cheerleading

/in /by

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.

Chess Club

/in /by

 

SJS is looking into starting a chess club after school on Tuesdays.  The club will be run by Metro Chess School and is open to students in grades 3-8. The club will run for 10 weeks and the cost for the 10 weeks is $150.00. A  minimum enrollment of 10 students is needed in order for Metro Chess School to commit to Saint James School. If you are interested,  please send  an email to Mrs. Anderson at  landerson@saintjamesschool.net expressing your interest.  We are not asking for payment at this time as we need to find out if we have enough students interested.  If so, we will send out the details for enrollment.

Book & Art Club

Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs. Sabatella hosted the first book and art club of the school year yesterday for 1st & 2nd grade students.  The group read Who Will You Meet on Scary Street and Five Little Monkeys Trick or Treat.  They enjoyed Halloween-themed snacks while making Model Magic black cats and pumpkins.  Below are a few pictures sent in by Mrs. Carpenter.

 

Virtue of The Month

/in /by

This year Saint James School will be acknowledging our students who show great character through our “Virtue of the Month” program.  Each month, a new virtue will be focused upon and explored during religion class.  During the month of September, our students have been learning the virtue of Courage.  Students have written about what courage means to them and have learned about ways they can be courageous both in and out of school.

At today’s Rosary, two students from each homeroom were awarded a Medal of Courage certificate for exhibiting courage during the month of September.  Mrs. Zorger stated that students receiving awards were recognized by their teachers for exemplifying courage in many ways: i.e. joining a new school, overcoming an illness, and helping a friend in need, to name a few.  Mrs. Zorger also announced the virtue we will be studying for October – Gratitude.

Below is a picture of the students (who were at present for Rosary this morning) who received the Medal of Courage award.  Way to go SABERS!
