Buses Tomorrow
A reminder for bus students, we will have combined buses tomorrow as per the typical Wednesday bus schedule. Please note, going forward we will only include information in the email about Wednesday buses if they are able to accommodate all 5 buses. Otherwise, assume all Wednesdays to be a combined bus schedule for the remainder of the year.

Deadline Monday: Ski/Snowboard Club
All families that completed our recent Ski/Snowboard Club interest form received an email on Tuesday with registration instructions. If you have questions, please reach out to Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net. Monday is the deadline to turn everything in to the school to secure a spot. After that time, we will open up availability to those on the wait list.
Please note, any parents/adults that are going to attend with their students and/or chaperone are also eligible for the group rate and should sign up alongside their student on the Mt. Southington website using the codes provided in yesterday’s email. Parents who will not be skiing (staying in the lodge) do NOT need to buy a ticket, just pay for bus transportation.
If your student is in 3rd – 8th grade and would like to be on the wait list to participate in this year’s ski/snowboard club, please complete this form and we will reach out next week if there is additional availability: https://forms.gle/zvZTbxGjLEYdstWG6
