We are noticing a lot of traffic violations that are causing unsafe issues on OTIS street.  Please share these with anyone that drops off/picks up your student(s):

Parking and drop-off may ONLY occur on the RIGHT side of Otis Street when turning from Park Street onto Otis.  If you are coming up Otis from Forest Street, no parking or dropping off should be taking place on Otis Street.  Please drive all way up to the top of Otis, take a left at the stop sign, and pull over on Park Street.

DO NOT make a U-Turn on Otis Street and DO NOT pull your car over to park in the wrong direction (i.e. when parked on Otis, your headlights should always be facing away from St. James School).

Lastly, please do not pull in and turn around or park in the “Mansion & Coach House Estates” parking lot or other private property driveways.

We have been receiving complaints from other parents and from our neighbors.  Please click on the map below to view traffic flow.  Thank you for your attention to this.

 

Please note that our 1st grade STEM club is full.

While Saint James School will not be in session on Veteran’s Day this year, it remains very important to us that we honor those who have served and continue to serve our country.   It is also important that our students understand and truly appreciate the sacrifices made by our military families.

To help accomplish this objective, our Veteran’s Day Committee will have small flags that students can purchase on Thursday, November 10th for a (minimum) $1.00 donation.  Money collected will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.  We ask that students place these flags in their front yard on Friday, November 11th in honor of our nation’s veterans.

Additionally, this week we would like for students that have (or had) a family member in the military to bring in a picture of that individual with information on the branch in which they served, the years of service, and any deployments they were part of (if applicable).  If you would prefer to email the picture and information, you can send that to Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.  We will use these pictures to create a “Wall of Honor” in our breezeway that students can look at when passing through.

Thank you for your help with this important initiative for our school.
