Important FACTS Account Information
Earlier this year Saint James School announced that we would change our Student Information System from Educonnect to FACTS (the company that processes our school’s tuition payments). We started this transition in February by having each family create a FACTS Family Portal account to register their child/ren for Fall 2024.
This week, we will complete another step in the integration process whereby your FACTS tuition account will become accessible only through your FACTS Family Portal login; Up until this point, families had two separate logins – one for the Family Portal and one for Tuition.
Please note the following:
*FACTS will be unavailable from 2:00pm today until 8:00am tomorrow morning. At that time, it will become available through your Family Portal Login.
*Only the person who has the FACTS account in their name will be able to access it through the portal.
*You will no longer access student’s homework and test scores through the Educonnect portal (Grades 4 – 8). Information will be sent once school starts about accessing this information through the new FACTS Family Portal.
*For families that typically apply for Financial Aid, it is important to note that you WILL still need your FACTS Financial Log In to apply for Grant & Aid next year. The only time you will need this log in is to apply for tuition assistance.
*Please review THIS HELPFUL DOCUMENT to see a visual of what to expect.
*Questions may be directed to our tuition manager, Denise Mayo, at dmayo@saintjamesschool.net.
Welcome New Families!
A great big welcome to all the new families joining us at SJS for this upcoming school year! Please note that all new families should have received a welcome email, with the exception of Kindergarten families who were sent a welcome letter via postal mail. Please reach out to Mrs. Guenther if you have any questions related to the upcoming school year. More details and reminders about the upcoming school year will be sent via email in early August.
Reminders for Tomorrow (Thursday)
Tomorrow (Thursday, June 13th) is the last day of the 2023-2024 school year! Please note the following:
*All students should be in the REGULAR uniform tomorrow (no gym uniforms).
*Tomorrow is a 12:05pm dismissal day – aftercare is in session (please be sure students going to aftercare have a lunch from home).
*Please remember to donate back to SJS any uniform items that your student(s) will not need next year. (Items can be brought to the SJS main office by parents or students and we will bring them over to the uniform closet). We will take donations all summer as well.
