Mrs. Poth will hold the first STEM Club session of the new school year on Monday, October 28th after school. This session is for students in Grade 4. If your child is in 4th grade and would like to attend, please complete and return the permission form to the SJS main office.
For families with a student in Grades 3 – 5 that completed the Robotics Fun Night RSVP form, please remember that the event will take place tomorrow evening in the gym. Gym doors will open at 6:00pm for registered guests. We look forward to seeing you there!
A few reminders – please share with anyone that picks up your student:
1) No parking where there are any orange cones placed (or between cones). This is to help with traffic flow and visibility for our crossing guards. The entire front of the school building AND one side of Otis are also off limits for parking for the same reasons.
2) Please cross at the crosswalk at all times. Not only do we want to instill good safety habits with our students, but Park Street is way too busy at arrival and dismissal for families to be darting across.
Thank you!
Attention Middle School Parents,
Please remind your student that the only charging cable they are to use with their Chromebook is the one given to them at the beginning of school. Already this year we have had multiple Chromebooks stop working because their batteries were damaged using a cable that was not meant for them.
The cable provided by the school has the precise Hz needed to charge the Chromebook battery safely. Using a higher Hz charger can cause the battery to swell and overheat; if this occurs the Chromebook is not covered under the insurance and you will be charged for any damage that needed to repair it.
Thank you for your attention to this.
On Friday morning we hosted grandparents and other special guests of our K – 5th grade students for a fun morning of musical performances and classroom activities. We love this special tradition here at SJS!
As a reminder, Saint James School will have an early dismissal tomorrow, Friday, October 18th (12:05pm). Please make sure your student knows where they are going at the end of the day as teachers will be heading offsite for professional development immediately following dismissal.
All K-5th Grade students must wear their regular uniform on Friday as they will be performing for Grandparents’ Day. Any 6th – 8th grade student performing in the Band at Friday’s event must also wear their regular uniform on this day.
We are excited to welcome the grandparents/special guests of our Kindergarten – 5th Grade students to Saint James School tomorrow! RSVP lists have been given to the teachers, along with dismissal and lunch information information.
If your child will have a grandparent visiting on Friday, here are some reminders to pass along to visitors:
Guest Arrival
We will welcome all visitors with a special program in the Gym starting at 10:00am (all guests will enter through the Gym doors, which will be open starting at 9:45am). Coffee and light refreshments will be available for guests. After the program, visitors will be guided to the classrooms to enjoy a special activity with their grandchildren. Please make sure visitor(s) know which teacher your child has.
Parking
Parking can occur in the same areas as afternoon dismissal, including the St. James Church parking lot. The large parking lot between the Pre-K and main school buildings will also be opened for parking at 9:40am (the lot will be coned off until 9:40am as classes will be outside for gym class). Cars parking in this lot should only be guests leaving before our 12:05pm dismissal time.
Saint James School will have early dismissal on Wednesday and Thursday of next week for parent/teacher conferences. A Fall conferences are required for every student to allow for discussion of progress during the first trimester and goal setting for the remainder of the year. If you have not yet signed up, you can do so HERE.
Please only sign up for ONE time slot per student.
