Math Check-In Tomorrow at St. James 🧮
Make sure to bring your headphones and a fully charged Chromebook (for students who bring their devices home).
Let’s show what we know! 💪
Be a friend, not a bully. 💙
At St. James Elementary, we stand together for kindness, respect, and friendship. Every action counts, and choose to lift others up instead of tearing them down.
Let’s make our school a place where everyone belongs.

🌟 October is Bullying Prevention Month 🌟
At St. James Elementary, we believe in kindness, respect, and lifting one another up. 💙 This month, we are coming together to raise awareness, teach empathy, and stand united against bullying.
Every student deserves to feel safe, supported, and celebrated for who they are. Together, we can create a culture where kindness is the norm and bullying has no place. ✨
Let’s show acts of kindness daily, and continue building a community where everyone belongs!

✨ Testing Tips for Student Success ✨
To help your child do their very best:
✅ Make sure they get a good night’s sleep the night before.
✅ Provide a healthy breakfast to fuel their brain.
✅ Ensure they attend school on time. Every day matters! (Unless they are sick or there’s an emergency.)
Together, we can set our students up for success! 🌟
✨ It’s a Wonderful Day to be a St. James Knight! ✨
Every day, our students walk through our doors ready to learn, grow, and shine. With the guidance of our incredible teachers, they are inspired, challenged, and prepared for a future that’s brighter than ever. 🌟
At St. James, we know the work happening in our classrooms today is shaping the leaders of tomorrow, and we couldn’t be prouder of our Knights! ⚔️📚

Parents, get ready to celebrate all the hard work your kiddos have been putting in this quarter! Whether it's improvements in math, growth in reading, or those awesome effort grades - every step forward is worth acknowledging.
Remember, progress reports are a snapshot of where we are right now, not the final destination. Let's use this as a chance to chat with our kids about what they're proud of and where they want to keep growing.
High fives for the wins, encouragement for the challenges, and lots of love all around! 💙
