February Saber Stories

Below please find a copy of the February 2018 Saber Stories Newsletter from Mrs. Zorger.

February 2018 Saber Stories Newsletter

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.
