Please Read: Important Notice About FACTS
FACTS, our Student Information System (SIS) and tuition management partner, has announced some changes to the FACTS Family Portal effective 4/22/26. Please see the notes below and check out THIS FLYER for more details from FACTS.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
* Beginning 4/22, families will be required to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on their FACTS Family Portal. This means, in addition to logging in with your username and password, you will be required to enter a multi-digit code (sent to your email) when you log in;
* You CAN use an authenticator app on your phone or computer to bypass this (instructions are in the flyer link above);
* Students accessing the SIS for their test and assignment grades (Gr. 6-8) will NOT be prompted or required to enable MFA.
Tuition Assistance:
* Families with a student in the K-8 program wishing to apply for tuition assistance will now be able to complete the grant & aid application using a link in the Financial section in their Facts Family Portal.
Usernames & Passwords:
* Usernames now need to be unique across a family’s FACTS accounts. The first time you log in after the update, you may be asked to update your username and password. If prompted for a District Code, our code is SBSJ-CT; New passwords will need to be at least 12 characters in length.
* Saint James School will no longer be able to create a password for users, however, we will be able to email account holders a “reset my password” link should they forget their password.
If you have any trouble with these changes, please reach out to Mrs. Mayo or Mrs. Mitchell and they will be able to assist.
Reminder: Vacation Week & Spring Uniform
As a reminder, Saint James School will be closed for Spring Recess next week: April 13th – 17th. The SJS main office (only) will be open on Thursday and Friday (4/16 and 4/17) from 8:00am – 2:00pm.
When we return from break on April 20th, K-8 students may resume wearing their warm weather uniform items (for middle school boys: please remember the uniform polo is worn with tan shorts only. For middle school boys that still wish to continue wearing tan pants, they must also wear the shirt and tie on those days).

Due Tomorrow: Mother/Daughter Tea
The annual Saint James School Mother/Daughter tea will be held on Saturday, May 2nd in the school gymnasium. This year our event will be inspired by the southern charm of the Kentucky Derby.

Due Tomorrow: Teacher Appreciation Week Collection
The Saint James School HSA is planning a special luncheon for our awesome faculty and staff on May 6th, which falls during Teacher Appreciation Week. We always look forward to this opportunity to show gratitude to the teachers, administrators, and staff for all they do for our children!
This year we are asking for a donation of $5.00 per family (or any amount you are comfortable giving). The donations will be used to cover a variety of special things for our teachers and staff to enjoy at their luncheon and throughout teacher appreciation week.
Please send your donation (cash or check) in an envelope labeled OFFICE, Attn: Sarah Scholsky by Friday, April 10th.
Thank you for helping us make the day (and week) special for all the teachers and staff who take such good care of our children each and every day!
