Below is the our page calendar for the 2019-2020 school year. This calendar is considered preliminary as the Archdiocese of Hartford will be announcing 2 professional development dates and those dates still need to be added to the calendar as days off from school for students).
Our 2019 Spring Concert for families and friends will be held the evening of Wednesday, April 24th. Please note, all 3rd grade students as well as all of our band and choir students are expected to perform in the concert that evening (unless, of course, they are ill). For students that also play SJS soccer (which practices on Wednesday evenings), they WILL be excused from soccer practice that evening with no penalty.
It is not an option for our student performers to attend soccer practice over the evening concert.
As a reminder, Students may begin wearing their SPRING uniform tomorrow.
Lara Williams and Kathleen Ansaldi (SJS parents) will be selling Tee Signs this afternoon at Pick-Up to be displayed at the upcoming Saint James School Foundation Golf Tournament. Please see the flyer below for information.
Each year, the graduating class leaves a gift to the school to commemorate their years at SJS.
This year, the class of 2019 is hoping to donate money to purchase an Elkay water fountain/filtered bottle filling station which will be installed in our school’s gym. Since the cost of this gift exceeds what the parents are able to raise on their own, the school has approved for our 8th graders to sell SJS Water Bottles to help make up the difference.
Some of our 8th grade students and parents will be selling these SJS reusable water bottles for $10.00 each at afternoon pick-up on Tuesday, April 9th (please make sure you put your child’s name on it after purchasing if they will be bringing it to school). Please note there is a limited quantity available.
All SJS girls in PreK-Grade 8 should have received an invitation for Mother/Daughter Tea to be held on May 18, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm at Assumption Church Hall. RSVPs are due Wednesday. Please contact Kate Davis with any questions at 70greenbean@sbcglobal.net.
We received the following email that we thought may be of interest to parents of our middle school girls:
