Uniform Closet Reminder

If your child has outgrown their SJS uniform items, please remember to donate them to our school’s Uniform Closet!  Uniform items in good condition may be brought to the main office at anytime throughout the school year and during the summer.

Also, as a reminder, parents wishing to look through items in the uniform closet over the summer should call the SJS main office in advance of stopping by to make sure someone is available to let you in (summer hours for the main office will be 9am – 12pm most days).

Tomorrow: Field Day!

Saint James School will host a fun-filled field day for all Kindergarten through 7th Grade students on Thursday, June 8th (rain date: June 9th).  Tomorrow students should come to school in their SJS gym shorts, gym sneakers, and designated-color short sleeve T-shirt:

Reminder: 2023 Annual Fund Campaign

Last week your student should have brought home a letter from Mrs. Zorger (along with the Spring SJS Community Newsletter) kicking off our 2023 Annual Fund Campaign.

Donations to our Annual Fund Campaign have been instrumental in supporting important projects at our school that simply cannot be covered by tuition/standard fundraising.  Annual Fund dollars, along with several generous bequests and grants, have helped us keep our school facilities in great condition with new windows, roofs and recently provided the funding for our new STREAM Innovation Lab.

This year, Annual Fund donations will once again be used to further enrich the faith-filled educational experience provided to our students, support our talented faculty, and respond to unforeseen needs and opportunities that may arise.  Every gift makes a difference!

For additional details or to donate online, please visit saintjamesschool.net/annualfund

We gratefully thank you for your consideration of supporting this important initiative at our school.

Uniform for Tomorrow (Friday)

Due to the projected high temperatures for tomorrow, all students are welcome to wear their GYM UNIFORM and sneakers to school.  Our 8th graders are welcome to wear their gym shorts and sneakers with their Class of 2023 shirt.  Please make sure all students come to school with a refillable water bottle tomorrow.

Attention Gr. 6 Parents

As a reminder, state law requires that all students entering 7th grade have an updated State of CT Health Form on file (showing a physical within the last year) BEFORE the first day of 7th grade.  A final letter was sent home today from the school nurse for students that still need to provide this form (if your child has a summer physical appointment, please call or email Mrs. Pennington to let her know IF you have not already done so).
