Last Call: SJS Newspaper Club Interest Form
We are pleased to share that we have a parent volunteer who has offered to run a Newspaper Club for students in 5th – 8th grade. The club would meet after school on Thursdays from 2:15pm-4:15pm starting 11/30. Participants will have opportunities to interview, write articles, take photos, and more – publishing one formal newspaper each trimester. To help us gauge student interest, please fill out the form below if your child would like to participate. Once we see how much interest there is, we will share additional details about the application process. Limited spaces are available in this club. Interest form will close this evening (Tuesday, 11/14).

Thank you to all the active and retired military members who registered to attend our Veterans Day celebration tomorrow. Our students and staff are looking forward to honoring you with a special presentation! Please feel free to wear your uniform if you would like, but it is not required. Spouses are welcome to attend with our registered guests. We will open the gymnasium doors at 8:45am to welcome our guests of honor.
Important Calendar Updates
Due to a busing conflict with the town, Saint James School has decided we will dismiss ALL students at 11:00am (instead of 12:05pm) on Wednesday, November 22nd – the day before Thanksgiving Recess – AND Friday, December 22nd – the day before Christmas Recess. Aftercare WILL be in session on both these days starting at 11:00am. Please update your calendars accordingly. Buses will be available at the 11:00am dismissal.
