A SPECIAL INVITATION . . .
- St. James is inviting ALL of our distance learners back to campus. We have many fun and exciting events this year. Events include Living Stations, Movie Night, Fiesta Nights – “A Night in Old Saint James”, and so much more. We would love for everyone to participate.
- We do NOT offer hybrid learning, so we are excited to see everyone on campus every day.
- If you need assistance with uniforms, then we have our resale uniform store at school. Please contact Mrs. Aguilera, we can help.
- We continue to follow all of our safety protocols. If you have any questions, then please reach out to Dr. G any time. In fact, the majority of our faculty and staff have received their first and/or second vaccine. We are on our way back to normalcy, back to our proud St. James tradition!
If you decide to continue with distance learning, then please join our Lunch Bunch sessions with Mrs. Chong.

You are welcome to email me at any time at dr.grenardo@stjamesschoolsa.org and/or complete our online COVID-19 Reporting Form.
