Back to School

Welcome Back Graphic!

Dear St. James R-1 School District Students and Families,

I am thrilled to welcome you all back for another exciting school year in St. James. Our district is located in one of the most beautiful and thriving towns in Missouri, and we are proud to serve our families and community.

We are fortunate to have a talented and dedicated team of educators, administrators, and staff members who are committed to providing our students with an exceptional education. Our team has worked hard over the summer to prepare for the new school year, and we are excited to have our students return to our classrooms.

As we begin this new school year, we want to express our gratitude to our students, families, and community for your unwavering support of our district. We are committed to creating a safe and supportive learning environment that empowers our students through caring relationships, academic excellence, and community partnerships.

We look forward to working with you all throughout the school year and beyond. Welcome back to the St. James R-1 School District!

Sincerely,

Tim Webster

Superintendent, St. James R-1 School District

St. James R-1 School District teachers and staff are excited to welcome your children back to start the 2023-2024 school year. Below you’ll find the information you need before the first day of school on TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2023.

Beginning the 23-24 school year, the St. James R-1 School District will be using Infinite Campus for online registration and student information system.

Beginning the 23-24 school year, we will be partnering with TeacherLists to provide a one-stop-shop for all your school supplies.

St. James R-1 offers breakfast and lunch for students each day. Please fill out the Free/Reduced Meal Application. Last year, we were able to offer free breakfast for all students because of the percentage of applications the state received.  Money can be deposited into your child’s account through LINQ Connect (Titan Family Connect).

Students at St. James R-1 will be provided accessible health care while we promote prevention and partner with parents and staff to enable students to perform at their personal best.

The St. James R-1 Public Schools app is a free way for parents, teachers, students, staff, and the community to access school information on their smartphone. You can find news and access many of our other resources, all through one app.

 To get the app on your phone:

Download or update it at the following links:

Once installed, the app will ask if you would like to receive push notifications (this is also a part of your phone’s settings). If you would like to, answer "yes."
