Attention All Dog Man and Wimpy Kid Fans!!

You can pre-order the newest “Dog Man” (#8 Fetch-22, Release date 12/10) and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” (#14 Wrecking Ball, release date 11/5) books at our Scholastic Book Fair!  On release day, your book will be shipped to the school and then sent home with your child (or you can note that it is a gift and we can arrange for you receive your copy without your child knowing).  This is a great way to ensure your child has these great new reads while supporting our book fair!  Simply fill out the pre-order form at the fair this week to reserve your books.

Our Scholastic Book Fair is next week!  The easiest way for your child to make purchases at the fair is via the new eWallet option.  This is a convenient option that avoids children having to carry money to school and assists our volunteers greatly during checkout.  We strongly encourage you to sign up for eWallet by following this link.

We are still in need of volunteers to help at the fair on Weds, 9/25 from 6:00pm – 8:00pm (during Meet the Teachers Night).  Please email Alicia Poth at aliciapoth@gmail.com if you are able to help that evening before or after you visit your child’s classroom.  Thank you!

Our Scholastic Book Fair will be held at Saint James School all next week!!!  All students will have an opportunity to visit the book fair with their class.  Younger students (preK-5th) will first make a “Wish List” and then they will then have a secondary opportunity to visit the fair to purchase the items on their wish list.  Middle school students (6th-8th) can visit the fair to make purchases on Wednesday.

The easiest way for your child to make purchases is via the new eWallet option.  This is a convenient option that avoids children having to carry money to school and assists our volunteers greatly during checkout.  We strongly encourage you to sign up for eWallet by following this link.  Parents can also shop after school on Monday 9/23 from 2:10pm – 2:30pm and/or at the “Meet The Teachers” nights on  Monday 9/23 for Grades 6-8 (6-6:30pm & 8-8:30pm only — the fair will be closed from 6:30-8pm) and Wednesday 9/25 for Grades PreK-5 (6-7:30pm).

Our book fair is available online from 9/15 to 9/28 by visiting our book fair website (found here).  All books ordered online will be shipped directly to your home and any book-only orders of $25 or more will ship for free.  Please do keep in mind that online orders earn 25% profit for the school, not the same 50% as purchases made in-person at our fair.

Hard copies of this information can be picked up from Ms. Jean this week if you would like a hard copy.

For families using the SJS Extended Day program, please review the attached policy book and sign/return the form on the last page by September 30, 2019.  This document has also been posted in the Forms/Docs page of our school website for future reference.
