If your runner’s season has finished (i.e. they are not running in the State Championship Meet) please hand-wash your child’s uniform and return it in a Ziploc bag, labeled with your child’s and return it to Coach O’Neill at the school this coming Monday.

If your child will be running in the State Championship Meet, Mrs. O’Neill is looking for parent volunteers to drive runners to Wickham Park tomorrow (10/31) for practice on the course.  Pick-up will be back at SJS at 4:30pm tomorrow.

Below please find the November Saber Stories Newsletter as well as the November Lunch Menu (hard copies of the lunch menu will be sent home with students).

Parents:  Please remember that if you are utilizing the “drop-and-go” drop-off area (in front of the main school) between 7:30am – 7:55am, you should NOT be getting out of your car.

If you wish to park to help your child in the morning, please utilize one of our numerous morning parking areas:

St. James Church Lot
St. Mary’s Church Lot
Church Street (after the buses leave at 7:30am)
Otis Street
St. James Street
Park Street in front of/past the Pre-K (both sides).

You may also utilize the staff lot between the main school and the Pre-K (passed the reserved parking sign) if need be.

Also, we are still seeing people park in areas marked by the town as “NO PARKING” (esp. in front of the white house that is across from the school’s main entrance). Please do not park there as it creates an unsafe situation with the high traffic in the crosswalks in the morning.

Thank you again for sharing this information with the person who brings your child/ren to school in the mornings and for helping us ensure the safety of all our students, parents, and staff.

On Friday, students in grades 1 – 8 will attend Mass at Saint James Church at 9:15am.  All SJS Parents/Guardians/Grandparents are welcome attend the mass – and any school masses that take place throughout the school year (please sit in the back few rows of pews).  Students who have GYM on Friday will need to wear their regular uniform to school (teachers will instruct students about bringing their gym uniform and changing after Mass).

Please note, you do not need to be a member of Saint James Church or even a member of the Catholic faith to attend any Saint James School Masses.
