• Picture Day 

School picture day is tomorrow Friday 9/17/21. Students are permitted to be out of uniform but must wear appropriate clothing. Picture packets including payment on picture day must have exact payment. You can also order your kids pictures online ahead of time from www.mylifetouch.com. Parents can enter their package information, pay with a credit card, rather than the filled out money envelope. This option will offer families more choices with packages and credit card payment.   

• Grades 3-8 Basketball Sign Ups

The 2021-2022 basketball season is just around the corner.  For those that are new to SJCS, grades 3-8 will be split out by boys and girls.

 The cost is $105/child with a $210 family maximum.  This year the $30 refundable uniform fee will be collected during registration.  Uniform pickup with take place sometime in November.  The fee is returned at the end of the season so long the uniform is still in good condition (no tears, stains, etc.).

  Registration will run from 9/1 – 10/1.  If you register after 10/1, you will be assessed a $20 late fee per child.  No registration will be accepted after 10/8.  I would implore you to sign up sooner than later to avoid this fee.
