As the year winds down we are SO CLOSE to completing our 100 Acts of Kindness Challenge in honor of our Centennial Anniversary. If you find your student completing a random act of kindness in the next few weeks, be sure to add your family’s contribution to our Google Form: https://forms.gle/BwLEoy31rDa25wMYA or have your student can send a note to Mrs. Zorger directly.
Below please find the June calendar:
Tomorrow morning (Friday, May 26th), we will be collecting Chromebooks from all our 8th grade students. Please make sure students come to school tomorrow with their Chromebook, Chromebook charger, and Chromebook case (with carry strap).
Please note that our SJS summer camp program has reached capacity, with the exception of a few spots remaining in week 3 (Animals) and STEM (Week 5).
For families that park and drop off on Otis Street at morning arrival, please note the following reminders:
1) DO NOT park your car on Otis Street facing towards Saint James School. If you are parking on Otis Street, you should be turning from Park Street only (not coming up Otis Street and crossing the road to park). We witnessed several incidents this morning that caused congestion and dangerous situations with traffic flow and students in the crosswalk.
2) DO NOT make a K-Turn/U-Turn on Otis Street. This road is very busy in the mornings and making a K-turn/U-turn creates unneeded congestion.
3) DO NOT Drop your student off on the Stop Sign side of Otis Street. Please take the extra moment to pull up in front of Saint James School. Cars are constantly turning onto Otis Street during morning arrival and dropping on the “wrong” side is not safe for students or the crossing guard. Also, please do not park your car on the “wrong” side of Otis Street – even for a few minutes. Again, this causes congestion and unsafe conditions.
Your support and cooperation will keep traffic flowing and ensure that our students arrive safely at school each day (as well as provide a less stressful start to everyone’s morning). Thank you again.
Please read the following letter from Mrs. Zorger regarding staff retirements.
A HUGE congratulations to SJS 6th grader Tiffany Barbieri on winning the Americanism Essay contest for the Manchester Elks Lodge! Tiffany will be reading her essay at the Flag Day Ceremony on June 14th!!
Saint James School has also been invited to host a group of students to sing at the event. If your child/ren would be interested in performing a couple of patriotic songs at this event, please fill out the Google Form below. Mrs. Schrager has volunteered to work with interested students during school hours to put together a short performance.
STEM Club will meet on Weds, May 31 for students in Grade 3. If your child would like to attend, please complete the permission form.
