Our Varsity Basketball banquet will be held on Tuesday evening of next week. Invitations were sent home yesterday with students and must be returned to the SJS main office by Monday morning. We look forward to celebrating another great season of basketball with you!
Students will be coming home with second trimester report cards today.
As a reminder we are half way through the Hats off to Reading contest for students in grades K – 8. If your student needs additional reading logs, you can have them ask their teacher, Mrs. Tierney (our school librarian), or download one here:
Order forms were sent home with students in February. You can return that to school with payment (cash or check payable to St. James School) or orders can be placed online. To order online, visit ybpay.com and enter our school code: 9708624. Yearbooks will be handed out at the end of the school year. All orders are due by April 1.
8th Grade families: All 8th graders will receive a complimentary copy of the yearbook so there is no need to order one unless you would like more than one copy.
Family Discount: The first book ordered is $25 and each additional book is $20. To receive this discount you need to use the paper order form. The discount cannot be applied to online orders.
Please direct any questions to Mrs. Poth (apoth@saintjamesschool.net).
Stop by Marathon Sports in Glastonbury on March 15th & 16th (Friday and Saturday of this week) for all your running and healthy-lifestyle needs and 10% of your purchases will be donated back to SJS when you mention our school.

Since this conflicts with the dance scheduled for Friday for many of our basketball players (and friends who would like to attend the games to support them) we have decided to reschedule the middle school dance to Friday, April 19th. Please mark your calendars!

Assuming we do not have any additional snow days this school year, our new adjusted last day will be Thursday, June 13th (to account for the two snow days we have had). Please note that June 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th will all be 12:05pm dismissal days. Aftercare will be in session on all 4 days.
Please note the following:
The CDC has released updated guidance related to Covid illnesses. Effective immediately our school’s Covid policy (as well as the policy for MPS) is as follows:
Students and staff are required to remain at home until they have been fever-free without medication for at least 24 hours and symptoms are improving.
There is no longer a mandatory 5 day requirement to remain at home and mask wearing upon return to school is optional. If you have any questions please reach out to our school nurse, Mrs. Pennington.
