STEM Club will begin next week. The first session is on Monday, Oct 17 and is for students in Grade 1. If your child would like to attend, please complete the permission form below. Space is limited but any student who is not accepted this month will have priority next time.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) the consolidated afternoon bus schedule and stop times will be the same as last week:
Bus 28, 29 and 31 on one bus
Bus 27 and 32 on one bus
Bus 134 will be just bus 134 riders
Please send a note in the morning to your child’s teacher if you are opting to pick-up at dismissal tomorrow (instead of sending them home on the consolidated bus).
Saint James School is in need of additional substitute teachers. If you know someone who might be interested, please have them reach out to Mrs. Anderson at landerson@saintjamesschool.net.
Thank you!
A great big THANK YOU everyone who purchased books at our recent Scholastic Book Fair! The event was a huge success and we are excited to use the profit earned (over $5,000!) to purchase new books for our school’s main library and classroom libraries.
While the in-person book fair has wrapped up for the year, online purchases can still be made online through 10/16 by clicking HERE. All books ordered online will be shipped directly to your home and any book-only orders of $25 or more will ship for free.
Beginning and Intermediate Bands will meet on Friday this week.
As a reminder there is no school tomorrow Thursday, October 6th as all teachers will be at an offsite Catholic Curriculum Conference.
