Attention: Grade 8 Parents
Attention 8th grade parents, Please make sure that you have a copy of the notice sent home several weeks ago (with 8th graders) regarding next week’s schedule for our graduating students. Also, a notice is coming home today or tomorrow with students regarding the class legacy gift to the school. Mrs. Leger is coordinating this effort and can be reached at iwona@loveandpeashealth.com.
No Hot Lunch Served Tomorrow (Wednesday)
No hot lunch or milk will be served tomorrow due to the Staff Appreciation Luncheon taking place. All students need to bring a lunch and drink from home tomorrow. Also, the Emoji Ice Cup that was going to be served tomorrow will be served with Friday’s Hot Lunch. Here is a sneak peak at June’s lunch menu.

Reminder: Lunch Accounts
With the end of the school year fast approaching, please take a moment to check your child/ren’s lunch account and ensure it is adequately funded to last them through the end of the school year.
Beginning June 1st, students must bring cash to school or have enough money in their account to purchase hot lunch. If there is no money in their lunch account and they forgot to bring in cash, they will be asked to come to the office to call a parent to bring them a lunch from home.
A couple of reminders you should review with your child:
**If your child asks for a water, the town will charge an extra $0.50
**If your child asks for extra food (above the normal portion), the town charges for that as well
If you have trouble checking your child’s lunch account balance, please contact Denise Mayo at dmayo@saintjamesschool.net.
Reminders for Next Week
As a reminder, there is no school this coming Monday, May 28th, for Memorial Day. Also, Wednesday, May 30th, is the Staff Appreciation Luncheon. No HOT LUNCH will be served on Wednesday, all students will need a lunch from home that day.
Attention 8th grade parents
Chromebooks were collected from our 8th grade students today. Several students indicated they left their power cable at home. If your child was one of those students, please make sure they bring it to school on Tuesday, labeled with their name. Thank you for your help.
Student Helpers Needed For Next Year’s SJS Masses
Thank you to all our students who have volunteered to be readers, gift bearers, and greeters at our Sunday Children’s Masses at St. James Church. We have received wonderful feedback from about these monthly Masses from both SJS families and Saint James Parishioners.
We are now looking to recruit our Readers, Gift Bearers & Greeters for the coming school year. Students must be in Grades 3-8 (for the 2018-2019 school year) to participate. All SJS Children’s Masses are at 9:00am the 2nd Sunday of each month – September through June.
If your child would like to participate in one of these capacities, please send an e-mail to Cindy Herr at cndherr@cox.net listing the parent’s name, student’s name, participation preference, and Mass dates that you/they are available to attend. Please note, you do not need to be a parishioner at Saint James Church to have your child help/attend.
