STEM Club (1st Grade)
STEM Club is starting up! This first session of the new year will be held after school on Tuesday, October 12 from 2:00 – 3:00pm for students in 1st grade. If your child would like to attend, please fill out the Permission Form below. There are a limited number of spaces so students will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. Please direct any questions to Mrs. Poth at apoth@saintjamesschool.net.
Otis Street Apartment Complex
Please do not pull into the driveway of, or park in, the “Mansion & Coach House Estates” apartment complex on Otis Street. This is private property and today we received a notice of complaint from residents that SJS parents are pulling into their property and/or parking there. If you do not want to park in the Saint James Church Parking Lot, the only other option for parking is on-street/curbside parking in designated areas.
Manchester Town Outdoor Program
If your child likes being outdoors and learning about nature, the town of Manchester is offering a free program for students age 8 to 13. You can find more information HERE.
Church Bulletin Advertising
Openings are available for any businesses looking to advertise their company (or special offers) in the Parish Bulletin. If you wish to learn more, please reach out to Mary Hoffman at 860.836.8486 or via email at mhoffman@4LPi.com.
Arrival & Dismissal Notes
* For families using the Drop & Go line in the morning – please pull all the way up to the crosswalk (but not on the crosswalk) to let your child(ren) out. The drop & go line is getting longer as more families become comfortable with this option. Remember, Drop & Go also takes place on the other side of the crosswalk as well (in front of the big school & Pre-K parking lot).
* If you park on St. James Street or other on-street parking areas, please do not pull your car up onto the sidewalk to park. Please only park on the pavement.
* Please watch the crossing guards closely at all times when driving in front of the school area.
* ALWAYS cross at the crosswalk (never dart across the street) and NEVER allow your child to exit the car into the street. There is a lot of traffic and safety must be everyone’s number one priority.
* Thank you to all our families for helping arrival and dismissal run so smoothly. We are very grateful!!
