Cheers to 7Brew for the Sweet Surprise! ❤️🐯☕️
A big THANK YOU to 7 Brew Coffee in Rolla, MO for treating our staff to a delightful surprise today! We’re grateful for your kindness and the pick-me-up. Here’s to many more community partnerships that make our days brighter! ⭐ #communitypartnerships #stjschools #tigerpride











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


Learning Highlight: Red Day in Kindergarten! 🟥🍎🖍️
Today, our Kindergarten Tigers began their "Many Colored Days" journey with Red Day! They are exploring the world of colors, and tomorrow brings a new color and learning adventure. Let’s celebrate this colorful journey together! #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride




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











Happy Labor Day, Tigers! Enjoy your extra day off and we’ll see you Tuesday! ❤️🐯🤍

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
