SCHOOL ENROLLMENT PRIORITIES

 

SAINT JAMES SCHOOL has no “Official School Boundaries.”

 

FIRST PRIORITY:

All children currently enrolled at St. James School and their siblings will be accepted first for enrollment in the school. Siblings of currently enrolled non-parishioners will be considered for enrollment to St. James School if sufficient seats are available at the close of the annual registration process. Families of currently enrolled students who are registered parishioners and continue to be contributing parishioners will be eligible for the reduced tuition rate. All others will be charged the “out-of-parush tuition rate.

SECOND PRIORITY:

Children of families registered at St. James Parish, who do not currently have children enrolled in the school, will have second priority for enrollment and will be eligible for the “in-parish” tuition rate as long as they maintain contributing parishioner status.

THIRD PRIORITY:

Children of Catholic families who are not registered at St. James Parish will have third priority. These families would be charged the out-of-parish tuition rate until the family registers at St. James Parish and maintains a contributing parishioner status.

FOURTH PRIORITY:

Children of families who are not Catholic, regardless of where they live, will have fourth priority and will be charged the out-of-parish tuition rate.

SCHOOL DAY

 

The official school day for students is from 8:10 a.m. to 3:05 PM. Students are not to be dropped off at the school office of classroom prior to 7:50 AM.  Students/Parents will not be permitted to return to classrooms for forgotten materials after 3:45 PM.  Teachers are not required to be in the building and most classrooms are not staffed past 3:45 PM.

 

ACCIDENTS

Serious accidents are to be reported to the school office. Teachers send injured children to the nurse. Parents are informed of all injuries except very minor ones. In the event that parents or alternate persons cannot be reached when the nurse feels that hospital care is necessary, the parent’s signature on an emergency card helps the nurse or principal in admitting a child to a hospital in an extreme emergency.

 

EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSING

 

If the weather is severe enough that you feel school may be closed, listen to the radio or television for school closing information. Listen for Northwest School District. St. James will follow Northwest School District's decision when closing or delaying school due to weather.  When school is closed for emergency purposes, all after school activities are canceled.

 

 

SPECIAL HEALTH PROBLEMS

If your child is allergic to any medication, bee stings, etc., or has anything we should know about such as heart condition, hearing problem, diabetes, etc., please notify the nurse at the beginning of each school year so necessary precautions can be taken. This information will be kept on file so that we can pass it on to teachers. If there is any reason your child should not be permitted to take part in physical education classes, whether this is occasionally or on a regular basis, please notify your child's physical education teacher promptly in writing. A doctor's note will be necessary to exclude a child from physical education classes for any period over three school days.  If a child requires extra fluid due to a medical condition, a water bottle will be permitted upon the receipt of a note from the child's doctor.

PREGNANCY POLICY

TUITION

The tuition charges at St. James School this year will be:

1 child = $2495

2 children = $4760

3 children = $ 6615

4 or more children = $6640

Non-parishioners = $4045 per child

 

CAFETERIA

Students may bring their lunch or purchase a hot lunch. Children who pack their lunch may purchase milk (2% white, 2% chocolate or orange drink) for $.50. Hot lunch consists of an entree, a choice of two different vegetables, a choice of four kinds of fruit, and milk (2% white or 2% chocolate). The student must take three items, one of which must be the entree. The cost of a hot lunch is $2.00. Extras are available as a full portion at the cost of $1.00 per full portion. Lunch tickets may be purchased in multiples of five. They do not have to be used on consecutive days. If a student buys five lunches, the cost of the lunch ticket will be $10.00.  Students who purchase extras must pay for them in cash. Teachers will keep the lunch tickets and pass them out each day. PLEASE, when buying lunch tickets, PLACE THE MONEY IN AN ENVELOPE WITH THE STUDENT'S NAME, HOMEROOM, AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY, on the outside of the envelope. If buying for more than one student, it helps us if the money is sent with the youngest. Please try to keep track of lunches bought, and used, so you don't get too many ahead. Any student who is permitted to go without eating needs a note dated and signed by the parent granting permission. Students purchasing a hot lunch who are allergic to milk must have a signed note from the doctor that will be kept on file. The annual family cafeteria fee is $40.00 payable directly to the cafeteria at the start of the year.

ATTENDANCE

Visitors – Absence – Vacations – Field Trips – Tardiness/Early Dismissal -- Withdrawals

 

VACATIONS

Every effort needs to be made to have all children in attendance every day. It is understood that children will need to be taken out of school to attend family weddings, funerals, and for other serious or emergency reasons. Parents are asked not to take children out of school for family vacations and shadow days at the parent’s place of employment. Students simply miss too much when not in school for extended periods of time. Parents who do take their children out of school for family functions/vacations may request assignments to be prepared in advance of the trip; however, teachers are under no obligation to do so. In addition, it is the student's responsibility to acquire and complete all work upon his/her return to school. Information regarding homework, etc. while on vacation can be obtained by way of the St. James School Web Page at www.stjameswo.org

 

FIELD TRIPS

 

TRANSPORTATION

Walkers – Bicycle Riders – Bus Riders -- Parking

 

WALKERS

Christian principles of love of neighbor and respect for property should guide parents to direct their children concerning conduct while walking to and from school. Pushing, fighting, intimidation of other students, and cutting through private yards or private property reflects lack of concern for the rights of others. Children should periodically be made aware of their obligations and responsibilities by parents. Once a child leaves school property, he/she is no longer the responsibility of St. James School.

BICYCLE RIDERS

It is imperative for children who ride bicycles to school to enter the school building by way of Cheviot Road next to the credit union. Bicycles must be walked on school property.

BUS RIDERS

Students riding the bus must adhere to the following rules:

1. Observe the same conduct as in the classroom.

2. Be courteous, use no profane language.

3. Do not eat or drink on the bus, no gum.

4. Keep the bus clean.

5. Cooperate with the driver.

6. Do not smoke.

7. Do not be destructive.

8. Stay in your seat, no changing of seats.

9. Keep head, hands, and feet inside the bus.

10. Bus driver is authorized to assign seats.

11. Do not bring additional items on the bus that are larger than what would fit in a backpack.

Upon alighting from the bus, each child is directed to go straight home and not to visit with any other children without parental permission.   Special forms must be secured from the Northwest Transportation office if your child needs to ride different  buses on a regular basis.  Northwest Bus Transportation does not permit students to ride buses other than the one to which they are assigned, nor may they get off the bus at stops other than their regular stop.  If a child is a continual disturbance on the bus, the child can be removed from the bus, and it becomes the responsibility of the parents to transport the child to and from school.

PARKING

Parents who bring children to school by automobile or who visit St. James School are asked to be extremely cautious when dropping the students off in front of school. No child should be dropped off at school prior to 7:50 AM as the doors will remain locked until 7:50 AM.  Parents are to heed the no parking signs posted around the school. Please be sure the parking areas on all sides of the school are clear of cars by 2:40 PM to make way for school buses. When picking up your child after school, do so by parking in the west church lot and having your child meet you. No one is permitted to pick up children in front or rear of school between 2:45 PM and 3:25 PM. Morning drop offs in front of school are on a drop and go basis. Parents are not to get out of cars to help the student, to give final hugs, etc. If the student needs help with large projects, etc., park on the west side of church, help the student, and walk in front of church to the Hubble Road crosswalk. No student drop offs or pick-ups are permitted on Hubble Road. Parking is permitted only in designated spaces. Parking in unmarked areas inhibits the safe evacuation of the building and access to the building by emergency equipment.

Grade 8 is tested in the fall only and Grade 1 in the spring only.

CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE RECOGNITION (GRADES 4-8)

A list of the students who qualify for the Circle of Excellence will be posted after each quarter for grades 4-8. The following subjects are used to determine qualifying students: Religion, Math, Reading, English, Spelling, Social Studies, Science/Health, Art, Physical Education, and Music.

There are two ways a child may qualify for this award. A three point system will be used. A student must either earn a grade point average of 2.6 or higher in the above subjects or an effort mark average of 2.6 or higher in these subjects. A student who receives a grade of D or F or N, or an effort mark of N, or a detention or a suspension during the quarter will not be named to the Circle of Excellence even if he/she has the necessary point average.

 

AWARDS ASSEMBLY

Award Assemblies are held each quarter for all the grades.  Awards are given for music, art, computers, physical education, etc.

 

ASSIGNMENT BOOKS

All students in Grades 2-8 are required to use an assignment book provided by St. James School. The assignment book is designed in such a manner that it will last the entire school year. Assignment books will be distributed to each student through the homerooms. All parents are encouraged to check the assignment book each night to ensure all work is being completed in a timely manner.

 

DETENTION

Detentions are used for students in grades 4-8. Each student carries a conduct card where marks may be received for behavior or assignments. When a student accumulates 10 marks within a quarter, he/she will receive a detention.

• 10 marks = detention
• 2 detentions = a detention and a conference between teacher(s) and parent(s).
• 3 detentions = a detention and a conference between teacher(s), parent(s), and administrator(s).
• 4 or more detentions.., students who accumulate excessive number of marks over the course of the school year will be dealt with on an individual basis possibly resulting in suspension.

 

TEXTBOOKS

For the most part, textbooks are provided at no cost to the students. Students are to treat them with the utmost respect. No self-adhering products are to be used when covering the books. St. James School keeps a small supply of extra textbooks on hand. Extra textbooks will be made available for use at home, only as long as they are available, and only with a doctor's note stating there is a medical reason for extra textbooks to be kept at home.

 

PLAYGROUND INFORMATION

 

All equipment is furnished by the school. Please dress your child according to the weather. Students who are well enough to come to school are well enough to go out for recess. However, we will make an exception for a day or two if the child brings a note from his/her parents. If there is any reason why a child must stay in more than a few days, it will be necessary for us to have a doctor's excuse.

 

REPORT CARDS

The children will receive a report card at the end of each quarter. Parents will be notified of the dates; however, the final report card for students in grades 1-7 will be mailed home the week after school closes.   Interim progress reports will be sent home about the 5th week of the term. Promotion and retention procedures at St. James are handled on an individual basis. Report cards will not be issued if financial obligations are not met or if there are outstanding textbooks, library books, etc.

 

ACADEMIC DEFICIENCY PROCEDURES

The purpose of the following procedures is to keep families as up-to-date as possible if a student is not progressing at a satisfactoly rate.

Grades 1-3

If progress in basic skills is unsatisfactory, retention will be discussed prior to the end of the third quarter. Tutoring, to strengthen basic skills, may be an option for some students. Unsatisfactory progress involves one or more of the following:

Primary focus will be on reading and math skills:

- Inability to remember sight words and/or use word attack skills on a consistent basis

- Little or no comprehension of what is read

- Inability to apply phonetic skills consistently

- Little or no comprehension of basic math concepts

If it is agreed that tutoring is to take place over the summer, the tutor must be certified and the minimum requirement is 30 hours. A written report must be submitted to the building principal by August 9 showing satisfactory progress for the student to be promoted to the next level.

**Decisions for promotion/placement/retention will be held on an individual basis involving the parent, teacher, and principal.

Grades 4-8

These procedures will be followed for grades 4-8 to advise parents and students, in writing, of failure in one or more major subject areas.  (Major subjects are religion, reading, English, math, science, and social studies.)

1. Students will be placed on ACADEMIC WARNING at the end of the first quarter of academic deficiency if the student has obtained an average of F in one or more major subjects. '"First quarter" means the quarter in which deficiency first appears, not necessarily the first grading period of the school year. It could be the 2nd or 3rd grading period.

2. Students will be placed on ACADEMIC PROBATION if during the second quarter of academic deficiency a failing grade is received in the same subject(s) as a preceding quarter. Parents will receive a letter requesting a conference at which time the student may be referred to the Intervention Assistance Team.  

3. Students will be placed on ACADEMIC EMERGENCY if failure continues in any major subject(s) during a third quarter of  academic deficiency. Parents will receive a letter and a conference will be scheduled. Students placed on academic emergency for one or two major subjects must attend summer school or receive tutoring by a certified tutor. A minimum of 30 hours of direct instruction per subject with an additional 20 hours of supplementary work (homework, research, etc.) must be completed. A written report must be submitted to the building principal by August 11^th showing satisfactory progress was  made allowing the student to receive a passing grade in each affected subject. In the case of an eighth grade student, records will not be forwarded until all work is completed.

            If the criteria above is not met, the parents will need to select one of the following options:

            1. Retention in current grade level at St. James School

            2. Transfer to another school

4. Students placed on Academic Emergency in more than two major subjects, will be retained in the current grade level.

 

**Decisions for promotion/placement/retention will be made on an individual basis involving the parent, teacher, and principal.

 

 

MEDICATION POLICY

 

Prescription and over-the-counter (non-prescription) medication will only be administered by school personnel if accompanied by a physician's order. The "Request for the Administration of Medication" form must be completed by the licensed prescriber and must be signed by a parent/guardian before any medication can be given during the school day. A note from the parent/guardian is not sufficient for school personnel to administer medication (including over the counter medications such as Tylenol, Advil, and cough drops, etc.) A separate form is needed for each medication. Additional forms are available upon request from the school nurse. A new "Request for the Administration of medication" form must be completed for every school year. If there is any change in the administration of the medication (dosage, time for administration, etc.) a new "Request for the Administration of Medication" form must be completed, or a revised statement signed by both the physician and parent/guardian must be submitted to school as soon as the change occurs.

Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code (
