We are looking forward to seeing lots of SJS families at the Yard Goats Game this coming Sunday, April 24th. Paper tickets were sent home with students yesterday. If you have any questions, please reach out to volunteer coordinator Jodi Talaga at hsa@saintjamesschool.net.
Just a reminder that IOWA (standardized) testing for students in grades 3rd – 7th begins next week and runs through the 2nd week of May (Monday, April 25th – May 13th). Testing will take place first thing in the morning each day.
Please pay particular attention to ensuring your child/ren get to bed on time the evening before each testing day and have a nutritious breakfast each morning. Also, it is important that students get to school on time each day as testing will begin each day right after morning announcements.
Any students coming in tardy will have to wait in the office until the testing period is over (and will have to make up that test at another time if they are in grades 3-7).
The end of the school year is always very busy, please make sure you review these upcoming dates and mark your calendar accordingly. The complete May/June calendars will be sent out next week.
