Saint James School will be hosting the Annual Scholastic Book Fair from Monday, September 17 through Thursday, September 21. The book fair will be open for students to shop during the school day and the evenings of 9/18 and 9/19 during “Meet the Teachers” Nights. Proceeds from the book fair (50% of your purchase!!) go towards funding new books and equipment for the classrooms and the school library.
Volunteers are needed to help set-up/clean-up the book fair and to work at the fair: helping students make selections and serving as cashiers (must have completed VIRTUS and Background Check). If you are able to help, please click Here to access the visit the Scholastic Book Fair Volunteer Link. You will need to create an account if you don’t already have one and then proceed to register for a date and time period to help. Any questions can be directed to our Book Fair Chair, Heather Meyer (grizmeyer@cox.net).
Any time you can give would be appreciated to help us make this year’s book fair another huge success. Thank you!
Due to the possibility that schools could close early for heat this week we want to remind parents that Saint James School follows “Manchester Public Schools” for closings, early dismissals, and delays.
For the quickest notification in these instances, please make sure you have signed up to receive text notifications (or email notifications if you prefer) from one of the local stations: You can click HERE to sign up for alerts from NBC30 or HERE to sign up for alerts from WFSB Channel 3 (remember to choose “Manchester Public Schools”).
Please discuss with your child what they should do in the event of an early dismissal so they are prepared (take the bus, go to aftercare, etc.).
Cross Country is cancelled for today due to the heat. An email was sent this morning to all registered families.
