A reminder that parents/guardians will need to call the school to arrange pick up of student medications from the nurse prior to the last day of school.
Students cannot bring medicines home themselves. If your child has medication at school, please reach out to the Saint James School nurse, Mrs. Vignati, at (860) 643-5088 (x3) to schedule a pick-up time.
Also, please remember that medication authorization forms need to be renewed annually for each school year. It is the parent’s responsibility to bring medication and a completed and signed medication authorization form to the nurse when we return to school in September. The most recent medication authorization form can be found on the school website under the Forms/Docs section of our website.
Saint James School invites you to become a Buddy Family for one or two of the many new families joining our elementary/middle school program for the 2021-2022 school year. Being a buddy family does not require much time and is a great way to support our school community. Buddy Families are asked to do the following:
*Call and welcome the new family(s) to the Saint James School community.
*Answer questions about the school, uniforms, events, and anything else pertaining to the school that you think is relevant to the new family(s).
*Look for your buddy family on the first day of school; Have your child help the new student on the first few days of school (for buddy families with older students)
If you are interested in becoming a Buddy Family for the coming school year please FILL OUT THIS FORM. Please feel free to contact Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net with any questions.
Thank you for helping us welcome our new families to the SJS community.
Tomorrow Saint James teachers in grades 1 – 7 will be covering the annual Child Lures safety program with their students. Please EMAIL your child’s teacher/homeroom teacher this evening if you wish to opt them out of the lesson.
