Last Call: Grandparents’ Day @ SJS (Gr. K-5)

For planning purposes, ALL K-5th Grade Families are asked to complete the form (even if you do not have a guest coming for your child):  Please complete this RSVP & Important Info Form

Saint James School is excited to celebrate and honor the Grandparents of our Kindergarten – 5th Grade students on October 18th!  Please review all the details below and complete the RSVP form at the bottom by Monday, October 14th; Guest and dismissal information provided via the RSVP form will be shared with teachers.

Guest Arrival
We will welcome all visitors with a special program in the Gym starting at 10:00am (Gym doors will be open at 9:45am).  After the program, visitors will be guided to the classrooms to enjoy a special activity with their grandchildren.  Please make sure visitor(s) know which teacher your child has.  Also, please keep in mind when determining who to invite that our school has multiple stair levels and no elevators.

Guest Guidelines
While grandparents are our intended special guests for this day, if your K – 5 child does not have a grandparent that is able to join us, a special guest (NOT an SJS parent) is welcome to attend in place of the grandparents.  With limited space in the classroom and the nature of the day, however, if one or more grandparents will be attending please do not invite other individuals as well.  Thank you for understanding.

Dismissal Info
October 18th is a 12:05pm dismissal day, however students may be dismissed with their grandparents when the classroom activities are complete (typically this is around 11:30am).  There is a place in the RSVP form below to note if your student will be staying until 12:05pm or being dismissed early on this day.  Older or younger siblings that are not in K – 5 may also be dismissed early on this day (please also provide this info in the form).

Lunch At School
Since we now serve lunch at school on early dismissal days, this one is a bit tricky since we will have so many guests in the classrooms during our lunch waves.  Therefore, if your child is leaving early (11:30ish) with their grandparents, we will NOT be able to accommodate lunch at school for them.

For all students in middle school that are not being dismissed with a younger sibling at 11:30am, students will go to the cafeteria on this day.  Also, for any K-5 students that do not have a guest on this day OR are going to aftercare, hot lunch will be an option.  Please use the form below to indicate if your child will eat lunch at school on this date.

 

Please reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions.
