Have a GREAT Summer!
As another year of learning comes to a close we wish to Thank You again for choosing to be part of the Saint James School family, and for the various ways that each of you help make Saint James School such a special place! The past year has been filled with many great learning opportunities: chances for students to grow academically, spiritually, and socially. Friendships and wonderful, lifelong memories have been made not only for the students – but for the parents and staff as well!
We wish everyone a healthy, relaxing Summer Vacation and look forward to see you back at Saint James School on August 29th (if you are not using the SJS Summer Program, that is)!
Important notes/reminders:
Summer Hours: The school office will be open M – F from 9:00am – 1:00pm.
Teacher Assignments: Class assignments will be e-mailed a few days before school starts.
Soccer Uniforms: All soccer uniforms should have already been returned to the school or the coach. There is a charge for not returned or damaged uniforms.
Openings: We still have space available in some of our grades. If you know anyone who is looking at school options for their child(ren) please have them reach out to Mrs. Guenther. There is still availability in all weeks of summer camp except the first week.
Extended Day: All families must complete a NEW extended day registration and emergency contact form for each school year. Your child/ren cannot go to aftercare in the fall until we have these documents. If you have not already done so, please submit forms to the school by August 1st to help with staff planning.
Documents, Forms & Calendars: Documents, forms, and calendars will all be available on our website under the Forms/Docs page of our website. This includes the following, which are also noted below for your convenience:

Parents of students entering grades 5 – 8 next year that may be interested in running cross country, please read the attached notice from Coach O’Neill and print out the summer training information.
