As a reminder for parents of 4th & 5th grade boys, this Sunday (October 21st) there will be an open gym from 1:00pm – 3:00pm, after which time teams will be set for the season and uniforms will be ordered (all boys interested in playing will be put on a team, regardless of skill level).

IMPORTANT: If you son in grade 4 or 5 will be playing basketball this year for SJS, please make every effort to have them to Open Gym on Sunday (they must have in their sports form signed by their doctor).  If they are unable to make it, you must notify Mr. Green at cgreen@saintjamesschool.net by Sunday at 1pm so they can be added to a team and a uniform can be ordered.

In keeping with the fun spirit of Halloween, students 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.  All dress down attire must meet our dress down guidelines outlined in our student handbook as well.

Money collected will be donated to special project a past student of Saint James School working towards his Eagle Scout badge.  The money will go toward purchasing items for the prayer garden.  Please read more here (or open the image below).

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!

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)
