Please remember when our crossing guards are in the crosswalk – ALL cars must come to a stop.  Please do not turn onto Otis or pull forward until the crossing guard has safely crossed our students and has returned to her position on the sidewalk.

The crossing guard has also requested that we ask parents to look all around them very carefully before slowly pulling away from the “stop and go” area.

Thank you for your continued support in ensuring everyone has a great start to their school day.

Saint James School Choir Practice will begin on Wednesday, September 11th for students in grades 3-8 interested in participating.

For anyone participating in choir, please note: 1) students are expected to attend all performances (monthly children’s Mass, concerts, 8th grade graduation, etc., 2) students are expected to actively participate in singing. Please ensure your child is fully committed to this activity before signing them up.

Mrs. Lindemann will be handing out permission slips for interested students to bring home to their parent(s).  The full schedule of practice and performance dates can be downloaded HERE.  Practices are from 2:05pm – 3:15pm on regular school days.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Mrs. Zorger would like to remind to remind you that we have an updated policy in place this year for school attendance, both absences and tardies, which can be found in the Parent/Student Handbook. If a student is not in school when the 7:55am bell rings, the student will be marked with an unexcused tardy upon arrival. If however, the student had an early morning appointment, a parent/guardian should notify the school in advance. Upon arrival to school, the student should be walked in to the school building to be signed in by the parent/guardian and an excused tardy will be recorded.

Students’ absences will also be marked excused or unexcused. For more information, please review the Handbook.

 

A Family Information Sheet, showing the contact information the school has listed for your family, was sent home yesterday.  Please review, make any changes, and send back to the school the following day. If there are no changes, please note “NO CHANGES” and return the form with your child.  Homeroom teachers will be collecting this sheet.
