Silver & Gold Soirée

Due to popular request, this year we are switching things up and hosting a “Silver & Gold Soirée” instead of the usual formal Gala.   The soirée will be a more casual cocktail party with hors d’oeuvres, a dessert station, and cocktail tables, so put on a pair of jeans, cocktail dress or anything Silver & Gold and join us for this fun night.

The event will take place on Saturday, March 24th from 7:00pm – 11:30pm, in what we are calling The Saber’s Den (our school’s gymnasium, transformed for the event).

We look forward to a fun event — celebrating the awesome community we share while raising money for our great school!  Invitations and RSVP cards were sent home with students earlier this week.  Please RSVP by March 2nd.

Registration for 2018-2019

We are trying something new this year and sending the registration paperwork for RETURNING families out via e-mail.  If you are a SJS parent with a child in Pre-K3 through 7th Grade, you  should have received an e-mail a short time ago with paperwork/instructions on registering your child for the 2018-2019 school year.  If you did not receive the e-mail, please e-mail Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.

This year’s registration paperwork is a “fillable” form – so you should be able to type in your information.   You must, however, print the paperwork and sign the tuition contract.  The original, signed copy must be sent back to the SJS office (you can send it through your child or drop it off yourself).

The Code Red & Photo Permissions forms for next year will be completed at a later time.

Copies of all the forms sent out via e-mail today will be available in the main office for any family that prefers to have a hard copy.  Please call Mrs. Sager in the main office if you would like one sent home with your child.

If you are unable to see the fillable document on your phone or tablet, simply download the Adobe Acrobat App first, then select the option to open the form in Adobe Acrobat.

 

Volunteer Mass & Reception

As a reminder, tomorrow we will be hosting a school-wide Mass at 9:15am at Saint James Church, followed by a short reception, in honor of our parent/grandparent/community volunteers.
