The lunch ordering system is now open for March. Parents you may now log in with your created emails and passwords and order for the month. You have from now until Feb. 24th at 4:00pm to order. All lunch payments must be received by Feb 27th in order for the orders to be processed. If you have any questions you can contact  bsmith@stjudescademy.com 

The cold snowy weather is back for a visit! Please ensure you are sending proper outdoor gear including snow pants, hats/earmuffs, mitts/gloves, and winter boots. Students spend at least 50 minutes outside everyday and we want them to be warm. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter!

Students are asked to wear red/white/pink this day. We ask that you do not send in food for a party but rather treats that are packaged that can be sent home. Below is our birthday/holiday policy that is now in effect. 

Birthdays and holidays are a wonderful and exciting time for every child. We are happy to have your child recognize and celebrate these special days with their classmates at SJA.  But in celebrating your child's birthday or holidays we do ask for the policies on celebrations be recognized and followed.

SJA Birthday Celebration Policy

• Families may choose to send an item in to the school to be used to celebrate their child's birthday
• We request that food items are not sent to school to celebrate a birthday during the school day (e.g cake, cupcakes, cookies, etc.).  This is due to the communal area that food and snacks are consumed, and based on the school's anaphylactic policy.

Some suggestions of ways to celebrate (if you choose to do so)...

• Send a 'loot bag' to celebrate your child's birthday. We are happy to send that home with their classmates to be opened at home.
• Purchase a book from your local book store that your child can bring with them on their birthday.  This book could be purchased for your child's class and be the Birthday Book that is read in their honour instead of purchasing a food item.  It would remain at the school in the SJA library with your child's name forever inscribed.
• Contact the school to rent the multi-purpose room at the end of the school day for a birthday party to be held at the school.

We thank you for your help in maintaining a safe and healthy school and for abiding by the 'no food items' policy for students' birthdays.
