Friday is International STEM Day and we are looking for SJS parents who would like to share their STEM-focused career with our students. All you need to do is send a picture of yourself at work along with your job title and a brief description of what you do. We will create STEM career posters to hang in our Innovation Lab so students can learn about a variety of STEM careers.

If you would like to participate, please send your photo and job description to Mrs. Poth at apoth@saintjamesschool.net by Friday, November 8.  Thank you!!

Thank you to everyone who voted for our SJS Scarecrow, we are excited to announce we came in 2nd place in the Downtown Manchester Scarecrow Competition!

Cheer & Basketball practice for tonight and Friday:

Thursday, November 7th
Cheer Team: 4:15pm – 5:15pm
Girls JV (4th & 5th Gr.):  5:30pm – 6:30pm
Girls Varsity (7th & 8th):  6:30pm – 7:30pm

Friday, November 8th
All 4th & 5th Grade Boys:   4:00pm – 5:30pm

All required paperwork must have been submitted to the main office for students to attend.

While we are very happy to provide a space for students to socialize and play before heading home, if your family chooses to remain on school grounds after dismissal for students to play in the grassy area or on the blacktop, the person who picks up the child from the teacher is solely responsible for monitoring behavior.

There have been a couple incidents in which students are not keeping their hands to themselves and creating an unsafe environment.  The school cannot assume responsibility after children are released to their caregiver.

Please monitor behavior and address any unsafe situations. Please share with anyone that picks up your child if this is something that would impact them.

Here is the basketball and cheer practice schedule for the rest of this week (remember, players cannot attend practices until all their paperwork is received by the office, including their athletic form signed by the player’s pediatrician).
