HSA Meeting Tonight
The May HSA meeting will be held this evening (Thursday, May 1st) at 6:00pm in the SJS cafeteria. This will be our last meeting of the 2025-2026 school year. We hope to see you there!
May Events Calendar
Please note that the Sacrament Preparation Family Day begins at 9:30am at St. Bartholomew Church on Sunday. The May Calendar has been updated to reflect this change.
Last Call: Teacher Appreciation Collection
Saint James School HSA is organizing a special luncheon for our awesome faculty and staff on May 6th, which falls during Teacher Appreciation Week. We always look forward to this opportunity to show gratitude to the teachers, administrators, and staff for all they do for our children!
This year we are asking for a donation of $5.00 per family (or any amount you are comfortable giving). The donations will be used to cover a variety of special things for our teachers and staff to enjoy at their luncheon on Tuesday, May 7th and throughout teacher appreciation week.
Please send your donation (cash or check) in an envelope labeled OFFICE, Attn: Patricia McCarthy by Thursday, May 1st.
Thank you for helping us make the day special for all the teachers and staff who take such good care of our children each and every day!
Cancelled: Digital Safety Parent Workshop
Thank you to our parents/guardians who signed up to attend the digital safety parent workshop tomorrow evening. Unfortunately, as of this morning, the RSVP list indicated a lighter than anticipated turnout so we have opted to cancel the event and try again in the Fall when schedules may not be quite so busy.
May Newsletter & Calendars
Please review the May Saber Stories Newsletter from Mrs. Zorger and print the May & June Events Calendars for future reference.
Please note, we have changed to a 12:05pm dismissal on June 13th as MPS changed their dismissal schedule (allowing us to have all our buses at this time). Aftercare will be in session on the last day.
May 2025 Saber Stories Newsletter
As always, the May lunch menu will be posted on our website and in our mobile app for future reference.
Digital Safety Workshop: Please Join Us!
On Thursday, May 1 all parents are encouraged to attend an informational workshop with our Social Worker, Campus Minister, and a School Resource Officer from the Manchester Police Department. This event will focus on strategies to help parents/guardians support their child’s well-being in today’s digital world — a topic that touches every family in our school community.
Of note, our school has offered similar presentations in years past, and the feedback from attendees is always very positive. We hope to see many of our SJS parents/guardians.
Parents/guardians are invited to an optional dinner at 5:30pm, OR are welcome to arrive at 6:00pm for just the presentation.
Please RSVP using THIS LINK. As a reminder, this is an ADULTS ONLY event due to the sensitive nature of the information.
