Ski & Snowboard Club Reminder

Tomorrow, Friday, February 6th, is our 3rd ski & snowboard club trip.  GYM DOORS will open at 7:25am for parents/students to begin dropping equipment and snow gear off.

Please do not unload skis/boards in the morning arrival “drop and go” area unless you are there right at 7:25am.

Please be sure your child has their RDIF card with them.  If the card was misplaced, a new one can be purchased at the mountain for $5.00.

Returning Student Registration!

Earlier today, all SJS families with students enrolled in Pre-K3 through Grade 7 should have received an email regarding returning student registration.  This information will come in an email sent via the FACTS system.  If you don’t see the email in your inbox, please check your spam folder.

A few reminders:

*Current students receive priority registration for the 2026-2027 school year through Friday, February 20th.  New student admissions screenings, visits, and registration will begin after that time based on open spaces in each grade.  Your prompt completion of the online registration through the FACTS Family Portal is important as we have many new families/students already looking to join our school this fall.

*The SJS Summer Program will return this summer for returning/registered students entering Pre-K4 through 4th Grade.  That information will be sent via the email blast in the days ahead.

*Families must reapply for Grant & Aid each year.  Once your registration for Fall 2026 is complete, if you would like to apply for tuition assistance, you can use the link in your FACTS Family Portal (under Financials) to apply.

*The 2026-2027 Parish Affiliation Form should NOT hold up your registration.  The form may be submitted at a later date, but must be received by June 30, 2026.  As a reminder, parishioners of St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish may send their form to the school without the Pastor’s signature and we will submit it to the parish office for you.

*If your child will be returning to Saint James School and your family has a younger child who will be joining SJS for the first time,  please complete an application in your FACTS Family Portal ASAP (if you have not already done so).  Reach out to Stephanie Holmes at Admissions@SaintTeresaCatholic.org with questions.

*If you did not receive the Returning Family Registration email or need a new copy, please reach out to Stephanie Holmes at Admissions@SaintTeresaCatholic.org.  You can also go into your FACTS Family Portal and follow the links on the right side under Apply/Enroll, then select Enrollment/Reenrollment.

*If your educational plans have changed and your family/student will not be returning to Saint James School next year, please use the “Will Not Reenroll” option in the FACTS Family Portal.
