Families will be receiving an email reminder from FACTS Tuition Management regarding their first tuition payment for the 2024-2025 school year.  All payments are done via automatic withdrawal so families do not need to do anything with their FACTS account in order for the payment to be made.

Should you wish to review your tuition and payment schedule for the upcoming year, please remember this information is now accessible via the FACTS Family Portal (NOT a separate FACTS Tuition login like years past).  If you have questions on your tuition or wish to change the date of a future payment, please reach out to Saint James School’s tuition manager, Denise Mayo, at dmayo@saintjamesschool.net.  Due to banking regulations, you must notify Mrs. Mayo at least 5 business days in advance of any payment changes you wish to make.

If you submitted a signed parish affiliation form (K-8 program) and do not see the parish discount credited to your account, please reach out to Mrs. Mayo.

Thank you again for choosing Saint James School to be your partner in the academic and spiritual upbringing of your child(ren).  We look forward to another wonderful year of learning and growing at SJS!  Should you wish to reread the information about the change in accessing your FACTS tuition information, please do so HERE.

The Saint James School Foundation is a privately run endowment fund providing over $100,000 to our school each year in support of our financial aid program, ongoing technology upgrades, and Margin of Excellence programs. Last year, the foundation donated more than $180,000 to Saint James School. Each year, the Foundation holds a golf tournament and dinner in support of their mission.

This annual event is a lot of fun with a great mixture of current SJS parents, former SJS parents, SJS alumni, and school/parish staff.

For more information, contact Eddie Fitzgerald at edwardjfitzgerald@gmail.com or Ken O’Hara at ken@kenohara.com or visit the foundation’s website.

 

Earlier this year Saint James School announced that we would change our Student Information System from Educonnect to FACTS (the company that processes our school’s tuition payments).  We started this transition in February by having each family create a FACTS Family Portal account to register their child/ren for Fall 2024.

This week, we will complete another step in the integration process whereby your FACTS tuition account will become accessible only through your FACTS Family Portal login;  Up until this point, families had two separate logins – one for the Family Portal and one for Tuition.

Please note the following:

*FACTS will be unavailable from 2:00pm today until 8:00am tomorrow morning.  At that time, it will become available through your Family Portal Login.

*Only the person who has the FACTS account in their name will be able to access it through the portal.

*You will no longer access student’s homework and test scores through the Educonnect portal (Grades 4 – 8).  Information will be sent once school starts about accessing this information through the new FACTS Family Portal.

*For families that typically apply for Financial Aid, it is important to note that you WILL still need your FACTS Financial Log In to apply for Grant & Aid next year.  The only time you will need this log in is to apply for tuition assistance.

*Please review THIS HELPFUL DOCUMENT to see a visual of what to expect.

*Questions may be directed to our tuition manager, Denise Mayo, at dmayo@saintjamesschool.net.

Tomorrow (Thursday, June 13th)  is the last day of the 2023-2024 school year!  Please note the following:

*All students should be in the REGULAR uniform tomorrow (no gym uniforms).

*Tomorrow is a 12:05pm dismissal day – aftercare is in session (please be sure students going to aftercare have a lunch from home).

*Please remember to donate back to SJS any uniform items that your student(s) will not need next year.  (Items can be brought to the SJS main office by parents or students and we will bring them over to the uniform closet).  We will take donations all summer as well.
