2019 SJS Soccer Sign-Up

It’s time to sign up for the 2019 Saint James Soccer season!  Boys and girls in grades 3 through 8 are eligible to play.  The season runs from early April through mid June.  If your child is planning to participate, please click on the link below to read the detailed information from Coach Sargent.  The sign-up form should be returned to the school office with the appropriate activity fee (make checks out to “Saint James School”) by March 20th.  If your child has not previously participated in a sport at SJS this year, you will need to also submit the Athletics Health Form for 2018-2019 signed by your child’s doctor (see below).

Please note – we are in need of coaches, particularly for the younger grades (you do not have to have a child playing to coach). To volunteer or if you have any questions about the program, please contact volunteer Jon Sargent via telephone at 440-319-8892 or email: sjssoccer@charter.net.

Please note that the March Book & Art Club for 1st and 2nd grade is full.

Please Contact our Legislators:

Governor’s Bill 7150  Section 1 will require Catholic schools to reimburse towns for the state’s share of expenses for school health services.  These costs will likely be passed on to Catholic school parents.

Please follow this link for more details and to contact your state legislators and the Governor: https://www.votervoice.net/CTCC/campaigns/63781/respond

We would like every family to participate in letting the Governor know this is not an acceptable way to help reduce the deficit.

Important Note for Parents

Please be advised of a disturbing trend permeating the internet and social media known as the “Momo Challenge”, where a creepy, fictional character called “Momo” instructs children to do dangerous acts or they will be cursed.  Information about the “challenge” has been all over social media and on the news (Click to View). While we know of no cases where local students have been involved, parents of all children should reinforce safe practices while using social media and to be vigilant in reviewing your child/ren’s online activity.

If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Mrs. Zorger.
