SJS Inclement Weather Policy

Below please find a link to our 2024-2025 Inclement Weather Policy.  For families that were with us last year, there are a few changes this year:

1) Please look for St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish on the television instead of Saint James School.  This will indicate that both our parish schools are closed, delayed, or dismissing early.

2) You will receive a text message from our FACTS Emergency Alert System indicating that school is closed, delayed, or dismissing early.

Reminders: If your family uses the extended day program

* If SJS is closing early due to inclement weather, aftercare closes at 12:00pm and you must pick up your student by that time.

* If we have a delayed opening, there is NO before-school care available that day.

SJS Inclement Weather Policy 2024-2025

This policy will be posted at the bottom of the SJS email blast for quick reference as we get into the winter season.

A Powerful Reminder from the Archdiocese
