Drop-off & Pick-up Reminders

A few reminders about morning drop-off & afternoon pick-up:

Please be patient.  There is a lot of traffic at both times of day around our school.  After dropping off, please use your blinker and pay close attention when pulling back into traffic.  The safety of our students and parents is the absolute top priority.

Please obey the posted signs.  We know parking spots at pick-up are limited but the no-parking signs are posted for specific reasons.  If parking on Church street, please park away from the bus loading area (behind the entrance for Oak Place).

At morning arrival, if using the drop-and-go area please make sure your students are ready to exit the car quickly.

Please wait for our crossing guards to stop traffic before crossing the street and always cross at one of the two crosswalks.

As always, we appreciate your adherence to our school’s protocol and compliance with the traffic laws around our buildings.

2021 SJS Art Show

Mrs. Rafferty and Ms. Boutot have put together a Virtual Art Show for families to watch from the comfort of their homes.  We are grateful to our teachers for taking the time to showcase many of the amazing works of art our students have completed this year.  We anticipate next Spring we will be back to hosting an in-person Art Show as we have always done in years past.
