Dental Day



Saints Familias,
Gracias. Gracias por el trabajo en equipo mientras trabajamos usando mascarillas para seguir aprendiendo en persona para nuestros estudiantes. Hoy, viernes 28 de enero de 2022, marca el fin del uso de mascarillas en nuestras escuelas. Nuestra tasa de casos positivos ha bajado a solo un par de personas en cada escuela, y sabemos que la propagación proviene de fuera del sistema escolar.
A medida que avanzamos, el distrito escolar continuará ofreciendo pruebas para el personal y estudiantes que necesiten hacerse la prueba. Se seguirán recomendando mascarillas, pero no será obligatorio mientras estén en los edificios. Les deseo a todos un fin de semana seguro y reparador.
En el orgullo por los Saints,
Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendente

Saints Families,
Thank you. Thank you for the teamwork as we worked through wearing masks to stay in-person learning for our students. Today, Friday, January 28, 2022, marks the end of masking in our schools. Our positivity rate is down to just a couple individuals in each school, and we know the spread is coming from outside of the school system.
As we move forward, the school district will continue to offer testing for staff and students who need to be tested. Masks will still be recommended, but not required while in the buildings. I wish everyone a safe and restful weekend.
In Saints pride,
Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendent

Due to cold temperatures and icy roads for tomorrow morning, St. James Public Schools will be 2-hours late, Friday, January 28th.


Congratulations to our 2022 Spelling Bee Champion, Aimee Aleman!!! Fun Fact: Aimee was also the winner last year! Congrats to all participants!
Go SAINTS!!



Saints Families and Staff,
We have had a day filled with COVID testing and families reporting that they are experiencing COVID symptoms. As we continue to contact trace, we are recognizing that most of the students and staff will be required to mask. Therefore, St. James Public Schools is moving to Mandatory Face Coverings in all buildings until the end of January (Monday, January 31, 2022). It is our hope that these two weeks help to cut down on transmission. As a reminder, face covered individuals are not considered close contacts when everyone is masked due to the layer of protection face covering provides.
Face coverings should be worn over the mouth and nose. A face shield is considered a face covering. Children aged two and under are not to be face covered. Preschool families of children three and four years of age are highly recommended to face cover your children.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation as we remain committed to staying open during this difficult time.
In Saints pride,
Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendent

Familias y personal Saints,
Hemos tenido un día lleno de pruebas de COVID y familias que informan que están experimentando síntomas de COVID. A medida que continuamos con el rastreo de contactos, reconocemos que la mayoría de los estudiantes y el personal deberán usar mascarilla. Por lo tanto, las Escuelas Públicas de St. James está cambiando a Coberturas Faciales Obligatorias en todos los edificios hasta finales de enero (lunes 31 de enero de 2022). Esperamos que estas dos semanas ayuden a reducir la transmisión. Como recordatorio, las personas que se cubren la cara/boca no se consideran contactos cercanos cuando todos tienen una mascarilla puesta debido a la capa de protección que brinda la cubierta facial.
Las cubiertas faciales deben usarse sobre la boca y la nariz. Un protector facial se considera una cubierta facial. Los niños menores de dos años no deben cubrirse la cara. Las familias preescolares de niños de tres y cuatro años, se recomienda a las familias cubrir la cara de sus hijos.
Le agradecemos de antemano su cooperación, ya que seguimos comprometidos a permanecer abiertos durante este momento difícil.
Con orgullo Saints,
Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendente
