***** ALL students in Grades 1-8 will be REQUIRED to use the OFFICIAL SJS Student Assignment Planner which will be provided for each student during the first week of school.

 

We recommend that sneakers (flat sole) rather than running shoes (ripple tread) be worn for gym classes. Running shoes worn indoors put an unsafe stress on ankles and legs, plus track in mud etc.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  The Parish Policy regarding ALL sneakers worn in the gym is as follows:  sneakers are to have NON-SCUFF SOLES.  This applies to ALL students grades K-8 and anyone else in the parish who uses the gym.

 

NEW Policy re: Textbook Covers: ALL textbooks MUST be covered with BROWN PAPER BAGS only!

Cloth book covers are NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE as they do not provide adequate protection for our textbook investment.
