All parents/guardians/grandparents of SJS students are welcome to attend. When you arrive at the school for the meeting, please ring the buzzer to the left of the breezeway door and meet us in the Cafeteria.

Reminder: SJS Pure Vida Bracelets

Looking for a special Christmas gift or a fun way to show your SJS spirit? While supplies last, we will be selling custom SJS blue and gold Pura Vida bracelets (limited quantities available). Bracelets are waterproof and adjustable from 2-5″ in diameter.  Each bracelet costs $10 and will be available for purchase in the SJS main office or through Kid Mail.  If purchasing as a Christmas gift and using Kid Mail, please put “attention SJS office” on the outside of the envelope and enclose a note with your payment that the bracelet(s) are a gift.  We will send the bracelet home via your student in a sealed envelope.  Checks should be made out to “Saint James School HSA”.

 

Ski Club

If any other students (Grades 3 – 8) would like to participate in this year’s SJS Ski Club, we have a few spots left on the bus.  Please reach out to Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net for information.
