Thank you to all our families who sent in their paperwork for the upcoming school year. We will be starting new student admissions screenings, visits, and registration next week. If you know of any families that are interested in learning more about Saint James School for Fall 2023, please have them reach out to Amy Guenther (aguenther@saintjamesschool.net).
We are excited for our 5th & 6th grade social/Cornhole tournament tomorrow evening here at Saint James School. Thank you to our teams that registered to participate and to the parents that indicated they would stay to help out our HSA parent volunteers at the event!
Please remember the cost is $5 per participant, payable at the door. Snacks and drinks will be provided, in addition to trophies for the winning teams.
The gymnasium doors will open at 6:00pm and the event will end at 7:30pm.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow night!
As you may have seen on the news, legislation was recently passed to extend the free hot lunch program for all families in the state, regardless of income. We are awaiting confirmation from the town that Saint James School will be a part of this, but have been advised that the free hot lunch program WILL now extend through at least March. An additional update should be forthcoming shortly regarding the rest of the school year.
If you have already funded your child’s hot lunch account based on the original information, please note that funds will carry over until next year if necessary.
We are excited to announce a delicious way to support Saint James School – our Munson’s Chocolate Fundraiser, with delivery of goodies just in time for Easter!
A copy of the following documents have been sent home with students to help with their selling efforts:
2023 SJS Munson’s Brochure & Order Form
During the fundraiser period, which runs through March 8th, collect orders and money from friends, family, neighbors, etc. Visit our Campaign page: https://www.munsonschocolates.com/online-fundraising/saint-james-schoolct-1 to place the order.
Checks should be made payable to Saint James School HSA. Please be sure to check your totals carefully. Copies of online orders and checks should be turned in to school by March 9th.
Orders will be ready the last week of March (pick-up date and instructions will be sent out via the email blast).
Over the break we had a new phone system installed here at school. Please be sure to listen to the updated menu when calling in as the extension you need may have changed (i.e. you will still press ‘1’ to reach the main office, however the nurse’s line is now number ‘4’, the social worker is now ‘7’, etc.).
As a reminder, Returning Family Registration Forms were sent out last week via email and are due back by Thursday, February 23rd to secure your spot for the 2023-2024 school year. We do have hard copy forms available in the main office as well for families that are unable to print the forms at home. Please direct requests for another copy of the email or a hard copy form to Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.
