As a reminder, there is no school this coming Monday, September 6th, for the Labor Day holiday.  If your family will be traveling over the long weekend, or at any point throughout the school year, please make sure you are adhering to our travel policy:  https://saintjamesschool.net/travel/

Families should call the SJS Nurse – Mrs. Vignati (860.643.5088, option 3) – to further discuss return-to-school protocol and dates of absence PRIOR to travel.

Cross country practice will begin this coming Tuesday, September 5th, for students in grades 5 – 8 that have submitted ALL the required paperwork and the $35 activity fee.  Students staying after school on Tuesday must provide their teacher with a note in the morning, letting them know they will be attending Cross Country practice after school.

Please make sure runners bring to school with them on Tuesday morning a change of clothes and sneakers.

Pick-up for Students Running Cross Country is 3:15pm outside the GYM doors.  Please do not buzz into the school, wait for Coach O’Neill to walk your student(s) out to you.

We ask that all students, especially in the Pre-K and younger grades, come to school each day with their mask attached to a lanyard.  This will ensure masks do not get dropped on the floor or accidentally misplaced during mask breaks.

We do have a supply of extra lanyards in the school office, so if your child is in need of one, please email your child’s homeroom teacher and we will have one sent home for them.

This great video from student Kassi T shows how to shorten your child’s lanyard if it is too long:  Click Here to Watch
