STEM Club Full
Please note, STEM Club for Grade 3 students is full.
Reminder for Advanced Band Students
As a reminder, our Advanced Band students will perform at Grandparents Day on Friday. Please make sure your student has their instrument on Friday if they will be participating in this.
Water Bottles
As a reminder, please make sure your student comes to school with a refillable water bottle every day. With the heat starting to come on in the building, it can get a little dry in the classrooms and we do not have the drinking fountains turned on for hygiene reasons. The water bottle filling stations located throughout the school provide cool, filtered water for students to stay hydrated throughout the day.
STEM Club for Grade 3
An after-school STEM Club will be held on Monday, Oct 31 for students in Grade 3. 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’s Bus Schedule
School buses will be combined again tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon at dismissal.
Buses 28, 29 and 31 will be combined
Buses 27 and 32 will be combined
As you may recall, this does impact the time some students arrive home from school if taking the bus. If your student normally takes the bus home and you will be picking them up at walkers tomorrow instead, please be sure to send a note in with your child tomorrow morning.
Tardy Arrivals Require Parent Sign-In
As a reminder, school for SJS Kindergarten – Grade 8 students begins promptly at 7:50am. If you find yourself not making it to school on time, please adjust your morning routine accordingly as tardy arrivals are disruptive to the whole classroom.
Also, please remember if your student arrives tardy (after the breezeway doors close at 7:50am), you must park your car and come to the SJS main office with them to sign them in. This is stated in the student/parent handbook that all families reviewed/signed as well as in several other school communications.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Tomorrow: $1.00 Pink Accessory Day
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Saint James School will be hosting a $1.00 “pink accessory” day on Friday, October 21st!
Students should dress in their standard uniform attire shirt and bottoms for the day, but they may dress it up with some pink accessories such as pink socks, a pink headband or bows for girls, pink jewelry, a pink tie, a pink belt, pink t-shirt under the uniform shirt, a pink ribbon on the shirt, and even pink shoes can be worn for a (minimum) $1.00 donation to commemorate the cause. No pink hair color please.
Donations should be sent in with the student and given to the teacher on Friday, October 21st. Money collected will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
