PLEASE NOTE: The time of the Father/Son Event has changed. It will run from 11:00am-1:00pm.
If you did not RSVP but would like to attend, you are still welcome. Simply pay at the door and join the fun. Please note: only the families that sent in an RSVP form will receive complimentary beverages.
The SJS Administration and 2016-2017 School Board are looking for feedback on your current experience as a Saint James School parent/guardian. Please take a few moments to read the attached letter from the 2016-2017 SJS School Board and complete one survey per family for EACH AREA where you CURRENTLY have a child enrolled.
Surveys are short, anonymous, and allow for comments. Your feedback is very important to us so please take the time to think through your responses (being as specific as possible) so that we may provide the best possible experience at each grade level.
Families NEW to the SJS K-8 Program this school year are asked to NOT take these surveys, and instead use the NEW K-8 Family Survey sent out under a separate e-mail by our Advancement Director, Amy Guenther.
As always, we sincerely thank you for your time and input!
It’s not to late to join in the fun at Dave & Buster’s! The RSVP deadline for the Father/Son Event has been extended to Tuesday (1/17). Event flyers and power card order forms are available here (event flyer and power card order form).
Mrs. Kanute would like to again thank all of our parents for their efforts to get their children to school on time the last few days: We are getting better with only 4 tardy arrivals today. Please continue your efforts to have your child(ren) at school in a timely manner so that they are not disrupting the classroom morning routine. Detentions will continue to be given out for tardy arrivals without a truly valid reason.
Also, Mrs. Kanute is again asking that parents DO NOT PARK where there are posted “No Parking” signs. There are lots of children, parents, and grandparents walking outside at drop-off and pickup and these no-parking signs were purposely put in place in specific areas with their safety in mind. If the person picking-up has difficulty walking or has an infant/several young children, please call Mrs. Kanute to discus parking arrangements. Also, please remember children must always exit the vehicle in the morning on the SIDEWALK side.
If you have a family member or friend picking up your child(ren) at the end of the day or dropping them off in the morning, please re-confirm with them that they are aware of the drop-off and pick-up rules. The school administration suspects that perhaps we have people still parking incorrectly because they are not aware that the no-parking signs are in place for a very specific reason.

Mrs. Kanute would like to remind parents that students will begin receiving detentions for unexcused tardy arrivals beginning this coming Monday. Please refer to the January Saber Stories article from Mrs. Kanute regarding this issue. If your child is late to school (i.e. second bell has run, the breezeway door has closed), you must come in with them to the main office to sign them in, regardless of their grade.
Also, please remember to adhere to the No Parking Signs in front of the school and across the street from the school. Parents are still parking in marked no-parking zones in the morning and afternoon, creating a safety issue that impacts other SJS parents and children.
