**8th Grade Families: All 8th Graders will receive a complimentary yearbook. There is no need to order one unless you would like more than one copy.**
There will be a session of STEM Club for students in Grade 3 on Monday, March 30. If your child would like to attend, please complete and return the permission form.
Congratulations to the Saint James School basketball teams on another great season! We had 4 teams qualify for the State Tournament this year – an incredible accomplishment! On Monday evening, we had our end-of-season banquet…
As a reminder, tomorrow – Wednesday (3/25) – will be the day we have the Dress Down Day awarded by Archbishop Emeritus Blair last week. There is no theme for tomorrow’s dress down, however please remember our standard Dress Down guidelines from the 2025-2026 Parent Student Handbook.
Tomorrow (and Thursday) are 12:05pm dismissal days. We expect to have all of our regular buses tomorrow (not the typical Wednesday combined schedule).
In conjunction with SJS’s annual Hats Off To Reading contest, our librarian, Mrs. Tierney, will be collecting gently used children’s (and young adult) books to be donated to the Manchester Women’s Club. This wonderful group of residents maintains the “Free Little Libraries” you may have seen throughout Manchester.
The Manchester Women’s Club will pick up donations at SJS on March 31st to distribute across town.
Books can be brought to the breezeway at morning arrival. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Tierney, at jtierney@saintjamesschool.net.
Second trimester report cards will be sent home with students today (Friday, 3/20). Parents/guardians must sign the orange envelope and have your child return it to school on Monday. The report card itself should stay at home (there’s no need to sign the report card, only the envelope).
On Monday (3/23), our 6th grade boys JV basketball players and 4th – 6th grade girls JV basketball players will celebrate the end of their seasons with a special luncheon during school hours. Pizza will be provided so students will NOT need a lunch from home on Monday.
Please note, students on these 3 JV teams should wear their SJS basketball jersey to school on Monday (must have a shirt under it) along with their gym sweatpants. After Monday, please wash your player’s uniform and send it back to school in a baggie labeled with their name.
Our Varsity banquet is Monday evening for those that sent in an RSVP.
Tomorrow is the last chance to order a 2025-2026 Yearbook! As a reminder, we do NOT order additional copies for purchase in June – all yearbooks must be ordered in advance.
There are two ways to order:
1. Online: To order online, click HERE to access our portal.
2. By Order Form: Paper order forms were sent home with students on Monday (3/2). You may fill that out and return it with payment (checks payable to St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish with SJS Yearbook on the memo line) to the school office.
The cost is $30.00 for the first yearbook, with each additional book costing $25.00. Please note that online orders will be taxed but orders sent into school will not.
**8th Grade Families: All 8th Graders will receive a complimentary yearbook. There is no need to order one unless you would like more than one copy.**

Saint James School 2026 Soccer Sign Up Info
Parent volunteers are needed to coach and assist with the teams (no experience needed). We cannot run this program without your help! If you have any questions about coaching or are able to help, please contact Mr. Green at cgreen@saintjamesschool.net.
Please note that students will need the 2025-2026 Athletics Health Permission Form completed and signed by their doctor in order to participate. If we already have this on file from another sport (basketball, cheer, or cross country) you do NOT need to submit a new copy.
Please make checks payable to Saint Teresa of Calcutta Parish and note SJS Soccer in the memo field.
