Our local Knights of Columbus will be collecting new and gently used CHILDREN’S coats and accessories (hats/gloves) from November 1st – 6th. Saint James School will have a collection box in the K-8 school building if families are interested in helping and would like to drop them off here.
In recognition of everyone’s hard work and great start to the school year, Mrs. Zorger is awarding a dress down day for all students tomorrow – Friday, November 3rd. Please remember standard dress down guidelines apply (no sleeveless shirts, no crop tops, no ripped jeans, and shorts are not permitted at this time of year).
Please note that Grade 3 STEM Club is full.
As a reminder, parents/caregivers should NOT be parking in the driveway behind the Pre-Kindergarten building at dismissal. This area is designated for school staff parking only.
Also, under no circumstances should families be blocking our neighbors’ driveways with their car at dismissal.
We appreciate your support and sharing of this information with anyone that picks up your student(s). Thank you.
