September is Attendance Awareness Month! 🎒🐯✏️
As part of our "Attendance: Your Passport to Success" campaign, we're reminding our Tiger Community of the critical role regular attendance plays in their child's success. Missing just 2 days a month, or 18 days a year (10% of the school year), is considered chronic absenteeism and can present challenges to academic progress. Every day truly counts!
Ensure your student is present and ready to learn every day! Check out our webpage for more information on how you can support your child’s attendance: https://www.stjschools.org/page/attendance.
Let's work together to make this school year a success! #AttendanceMatters #PassportToSuccess #stjschools

Mission Monday: Lighting Up Our Future Together! 💡🐯❤️
A big shoutout to the City of St. James and Musco Lighting for their support and partnership! After severe storms damaged the light poles at our football field and track this past spring, the city, and Musco Lighting stepped up to help us replace them just in time for our first home game last Friday.
Through strong community partnerships like this, we empower our students, foster caring relationships, and achieve academic excellence. Together, we're lighting the way for a bright future!
Thank you, City of St. James, and Musco Lighting for being true Tiger community supporters! #CommunityFirst #MissionMonday #tigerpride

Learning Highlight: Building Foundations for Success at St. James Middle School! ❤️🐯🤍
Principal Lepper has been making a big impact by stepping into classrooms to lead lessons that go beyond traditional subjects. Recently, she guided students through thought-provoking sessions on topics like respect, the purpose of school, and the Capturing Kids' Hearts initiative. Using the EXCEL process, students collaborated and engaged in deep discussions, strengthening their connections and fostering a supportive community. By focusing on both social-emotional learning and academic skills, we're working towards the ultimate goal of creating a school culture where students feel empowered.
Throughout September, these lessons will continue to build a foundation of independence and excellence across all grades at the middle school. 🌟 #EmpoweringStudents #stjschools #tigerpride

Tigers Recycle for a Better Tomorrow! ♻️🐯🌎
The National Honor Society (NHS) at St. James High School kicked off its annual recycling initiative today! Each week, NHS members collect recyclables from every classroom and building area, sort them, and ensure they are properly recycled. This effort not only helps keep our school clean but also empowers our students to be responsible stewards of the world. Together, we’re making a difference, one recycled item at a time!
Let’s continue to inspire our Tigers to lead with care and positively impact the world around us! #MissionMakers #GreatThingsHappenHere #stjschools

Community Pride in Action! 🤝
A big shoutout to a few of our community supporters, Danny Craft, Randy Craft, and Hadden Lewis, for their dedication and generosity. Thanks to their hard work, the "STJ" near our football field is freshly repainted, reflecting our #TigerPride.
This is what community partnerships are all about—empowering our students and making GREAT things happen here! ❤️🐯🤍 #stjschools
🌟 GREAT Things Happen Here! 🌟
In Mrs. Witt's class today, students explored the importance of understanding and meeting each other's unique needs. Through a creative lesson, each student received an "injury" and a bandaid—but only one bandaid was placed correctly. This activity highlighted that the same support doesn't work for everyone, emphasizing that each student benefits from support that fits their individual needs.
By fostering caring relationships, we empower our students to thrive academically and within our Tiger Community. Together, we're making GREAT things happen at St. James R-1 School District! #GREATThingsHappenHere #stjschools #tigerpride
