As a reminder, Saint James School will be closed next week (April 11th – 15th) for our Spring Recess. When we return from break on Monday, April 18th SJS K-8 students may begin wearing their SPRING uniform to school.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
Saint James School Soccer players and their fans are invited to show their school spirit with these 2022 spirit wear items. We have also added an SJS Tie Dye t-shirt for sale just in time for the warmer weather. The store will be open until Monday, 4/11.

Our vendor would like to remind families that unforeseen issues with item supply and carrier delays are possible. Out of stock items may need to be substituted or placed on back-order.
Saint James School will be closed next week (April 11 – 15) for our Spring Recess. We have many students that will be traveling and enjoying this week with extended family and friends. After a long winter season, we certainly are ready to enjoy some fun and relaxation!
A few reminders and notes for when we return on April 18th:
* We have seen an uptick in Covid cases here at school the last two weeks (as per our policy, only the grades impacted are notified) and we anticipate that cases could further spike when we return from break. To avoid any classroom outbreaks, we ask that all students take a home Covid test on Monday morning before returning to school. The nurse only needs to be notified of positive results. If your child tests negative but has cold-like symptoms, please err on the side of caution and keep them home. If traveling internationally, please refer to our travel policy: https://saintjamesschool.net/travel/
* If you need a Covid test kit sent home, please email the school office or Mrs. Vignati and we will send them home with your student tomorrow (Friday).
* Please remember to send your student to school with a refillable water bottle every day. The drinking fountains are still turned off and only the filling stations are available.
* Spring uniform begins when we return on April 18th.
* Lenten Rice Bowls are due when we return on April 18th.
We wish everyone has a blessed Easter and relaxing and fun break!
The Saint James School HSA (Home & School Association) will hold their monthly meeting this evening – Thursday, 4/7 – from 7:00-8:00pm in the SJS Cafeteria. We encourage all of our SJS parents/grandparents to attend to hear about upcoming events and help us brainstorm for the months ahead (ring the breezeway buzzer when you arrive). We will also be discussing our upcoming Online Auction Fundraiser and hear from our 100th Anniversary Committee.
With this notice, the Home & School Association is sending out one last request for parent volunteers to host one (or more) of our usual spring-time social activities such as the father/daughter dance, mother/daughter tea, or father/son, mother/son events. If you are interested in chairing/hosting one of these events, please reach out to Jodi Talaga at hsa@saintjamesschool.net. Thank you for your consideration.
