Thank you to those who have completed our survey regarding school pictures yesterday. If you have not already done so, please take a few moments to respond today. Responses go directly to Mrs. Zorger.
Reminder Regarding Phones, Video Games, Smart Watches at School
As a reminder, Saint James School does not permit use of any personal electronic devices at school. This includes “smart” watches such as those from Apple and Fitbit, iPods, phones, etc. We wish to strongly encourage that all personal electronic devices be kept at home. If, however, your student needs a cell phone to communicate with you after school hours, it must remain OFF and in their backpack until they have left the school. Additionally, Saint James School is not responsible for damaged or lost devices. Thank you for your corporation and reinforcing our school policy regarding electronic devices with your child/ren.

Middle School Dance Volunteers Needed
Saint James is hosting the 2nd middle school dance of the year on Friday, March 1. Many volunteers are needed to help organize, run and chaperone the dance. Without enough volunteers, we will not be able to run the dance. If you are able to help out, please contact Joanna Kamis at brownlab@msn.com. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Munson’s Chocolates Fundraiser and Clarification
Easter will be here before we know it! There is no need to hop to the store to get your Easter candy because the HSA is sponsoring a Munson’s Chocolates fundraiser! This week all families should receive a Munson’s Order Form and a Munson’s Tally Form for the fundraiser. The Tally Form is where you will write down only the final total of each product sold, along with the final amount due. If you do not receive the forms or have questions, please contact parent volunteer Megan Hunt at meganhunt727@gmail.com. Tally forms and payments are due to the school office by Friday, March 1st. Please make checks payable to Saint James School and remember to write your child’s name & grade on ALL forms and checks. If possible, please submit just one check per order form as this greatly helps the volunteers who tally the orders for submission. Orders will arrive in plenty of time for Easter and an e-mail will be sent in March notifying parents of the pickup date(s). Please note that Easter candy CAN be ordered as our school order will not be submitted until March.
Important Parent Notice
All parents are asked to notify the SJS Main Office when a child will be tardy or out sick. If you are emailing the teacher regarding an absence, dismissal, or tardy arrival please cc Mrs. Sager at lsager@saintjamesschool.net. The teachers don’t always have an opportunity to check their email first thing in the morning. Thank you for your help with this.
Book & Art Club Full
The book & art club for grades 3 and 4 is full. Thank you to everyone who registered!
February Saber Stories
Please find attached the Saber Stories newsletter from Mrs. Zorger for the month of February.
Box Tops Counted Tomorrow
Box tops for the fourth dress down contest of the school year will be counted after school on Tuesday, March 5th. Please be sure to send in any box tops you have accumulated by 2:00pm on March 5th to help your child’s grade win! (please label name and grade on the container or baggie you send them in).
STEM Club Clarification & Reminder
Just a quick clarification, our new STEM Club (for the elementary grades) will be held at periodic intervals – it is NOT an ongoing, weekly activity (just like Book & Art Club is held at periodic intervals).
Students who are not going to aftercare following STEM Club today can be picked up at 3:15pm OUTSIDE the gym doors. Thank you for your cooperation.
