SJA News August 2008
Dear St. James Academy Parents:
I can hear the collective groans as you read this letter. It has been a fast summer! I do hope all is well with you and your families and you are facing the fall feeling relaxed and refreshed. If your children are returning to St. James Academy we welcome them back. If your children will be attending St. James for the first time, we extend a special welcome as they join our academy family.
Please check out our website, saintjamesacademy.com, for the 2008-2009 Calendar, Supply Lists and True Grits uniform information. I ask that you pay special attention to the uniform rules listed in the Handbook concerning hair length, hair ornaments, shoes and socks. Some dates to save at the beginning of the year are the Welcome Coffee the first day of school, in the Hall at 8:00 a.m.; and Back-To-School Night on Thursday, September 4th. We will gather in the Hall at 6:00 for a short informational meeting followed by classroom visits with the teachers.
You will also find the supply lists on line. If you are shopping at Office Depot, our school ID# is 70015377 which will qualify us for a 5% rebate.
School begins on Monday, August 25, 2008 at 8:00 a.m. Please have the students meet their teachers on the black top by the basketball courts. All students should have their supplies and be in full uniform.
You will find the dedicated and qualified staff at St. James have been diligently preparing for this new academic year. They are ready to do their utmost to meet the individual needs of your students and to help them to develop to their fullest potential in a loving and caring atmosphere.
With parents and teachers working together, we are able to offer the unique and quality educational program that is St. James Academy. May God bless you and your family.
Faithfully Yours,
Donna K. Kruszona
Principal
