Due to the projected high temperatures for tomorrow, all students are welcome to wear their GYM UNIFORM and sneakers to school.  Our 8th graders are welcome to wear their gym shorts and sneakers with their Class of 2023 shirt.  Please make sure all students come to school with a refillable water bottle tomorrow.

As a reminder, state law requires that all students entering Pre-K3, Pre-K4, and Kindergarten have an updated State of Connecticut Health Form on file (showing a physical within the last year) BEFORE the first day of school.  If you have yet to provide this document to Mrs. Pennington please do so before the end of school (if your child has a summer physical appointment, please call or email Mrs. Pennington to let her know IF you have not already done so).

Per Manchester Public Schools, who supplies our hot lunch program, students who require hot lunch modifications for food allergies or other dietary restrictions are now required to provide a “Medical Statement for Meal Modifications in School Nutrition Programs” form signed by the child’s physician. This form can be found below or obtained from the nurse’s office.  If your student has food allergies/restrictions and will NOT eat hot lunch at school, please notify our nurse.  Please note, this does not refer to dietary preferences but rather a physical condition that restricts the child’s diet.

This week your student will be bringing home a letter from Mrs. Zorger (along with the Spring SJS Community Newsletter) kicking off our 2023 Annual Fund Campaign.

Donations to our Annual Fund Campaign have been instrumental in supporting important projects at our school that simply cannot be covered by tuition/standard fundraising.  Annual Fund dollars, along with several generous bequests and grants, have helped us keep our school facilities in great condition with new windows, roofs and recently provided the funding for our new STREAM Innovation Lab.

This year, Annual Fund donations will once again be used to further enrich the faith-filled educational experience provided to our students, support our talented faculty, and respond to unforeseen needs and opportunities that may arise.  Every gift makes a difference!

For additional details or to donate online, please visit saintjamesschool.net/annualfund

We gratefully thank you for your consideration of supporting this important initiative at our school.
