Mark your calendar and get ready to celebrate like it’s the early 1920s! Saint James School’s Centennial Anniversary Gala & Auction Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, April 29th and it’s sure to be a roaring good time!
More information will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead, but for now we encourage SJS families and friends to mark their calendars and start planning for a fun, adults-only evening out celebrating our great school!
As a reminder, Saint James School has 12:05pm dismissal days this week on Wednesday (10/19) and Thursday (10/20) for parent/teacher conferences. Aftercare will be in session both days, however students going to aftercare WILL need a lunch from home (no hot lunch is served on early dismissal days).
For conferences, please ring the buzzer and enter through the main school entrance (double green doors). You may proceed directly to the appropriate classroom upon being buzzed in.
An after-school STEM Club will be held on Monday, Oct 24 for students in Grade 2. 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.
Due to this Wednesday being a 12:05pm dismissal for Saint James School, we WILL have all of our buses at Wednesday dismissal this week.
