Picture Retakes Date Change

Please note that we have changed the date for school picture retakes to December 6th.  This will be for:

*Any student for which you were not satisfied with the original portrait (students need to bring the original picture packet when they come);

*Any student who was absent on the original day whether you are purchasing a package or not.

Any student having retakes done may come to school in dress down on Monday, December 6th.  Dress down on this day is ONLY for K – 8 students having picture retakes done.

The calendar in the SJS App has been updated to reflect this new date.

Attention Cross Country

Select SJS runners have been invited to compete in the conference championship meet at Illing Middle School tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon.  While our students won’t be able to formally “place” in this meet, it will serve as a training opportunity for students who will be competing in the Middle School Cross Country Championships at Wickham Park next Saturday (to help prepare them for running with a large group).

Participating runners, notified today by Coach O’Neill, should arrive at Illing Middle School for 3:00pm.  The girls’ race kicks off at 4:00pm and the boys race will follow immediately after.

For students that have been invited to compete in the Wickham meet on 11/6, there WILL be practice next Tuesday and Thursday.  Coach O’Neill would like to see if families can work out a carpool to get runners to Wickham Park after school.  Please reach out to her at sjoneill2@yahoo.com if you can help.

For runners whose season has concluded, we thank you for taking part in this great activity and representing our school!  Please wash and air dry uniforms before returning them to the school in a bag labeled with the runner’s name.
