For any families that ordered school pictures, please note that the individual portraits are being sent home with students today.  If you are unhappy with the pictures (or for students that were absent for picture day), please note that the retake day is Monday, November 30th.

For any families that ordered class pictures, there was a printing error impacting all grades so those will be sent home separately when we receive them.

For remote-learner students, pictures can be picked up with classroom materials this Friday afternoon.

The Saint James School Scarecrow is up on Main Street!  Please help us win the Facebook Favorite competition by clicking this link and liking the picture our our scarecrow on the town’s Scarecrow Facebook Page.

Special thanks to retired SJS teacher (and current School Board Member) Mrs. Kathy Camposeo for the fantastic artwork on the minions and Gru’s face!
