SJS K-8 Handbook – Important Highlights
The Saint James School Parent/Student Handbook outlines the policies, procedures, and expectations for our school community. Please review in full the document below (click link to open), print out the signature page, and bring the signed document to your child’s homeroom teacher on Wednesday, August 28th.
Here are some important items from the handbook to keep in mind as you get your student(s) ready to return to school.
* Tan Pants, Tan Shorts, Uniform Skorts and uniform shirts must be purchased from Lands’ End or Dennis Uniform Company. Other brands are not permitted.
* No logos on socks – socks must be plain white (or plain navy, tan, black).
* Hair must be the student’s natural color. If it has been colored or highlighted over the summer, it must be back to their natural color by the 1st day of school. Boys’ hair must not touch their shirt collar and must not cover their ears or eyebrows.
* Smart Watches and Fitbits are not permitted at Saint James School.
* If your student is going to be absent on any given day, please call the school by 8:00am and provide a reason for their absence. If you do not provide a reason, it will be recorded as an unexcused absence.
* Cell phones are not permitted to be used at school. If your student must have a phone with them on our campus, it must be turned completely off and in their backpack at all times.
* If your family chooses to take a vacation outside of the scheduled school vacation times, teachers are not responsible for gathering work ahead of time. It is the family’s responsibility to make sure all missed assignments are made up within 3 DAYS of returning to school.
