Principal's Message
Welcome to St. James Catholic Elementary School! Thank you for choosing Catholic Education for your child in a school that is welcoming, inclusive, friendly, and a safe place for your child to learn and grow.
The students of our school are blessed to be part of a school community that offers a wealth of opportunities with specific goals to foster academic, social, emotional and physical growth. In addition, we believe that our Catholic schools provide a rich, faith-filled learning environment that supports each child in their spiritual journey. We recognize and value that God has created each student uniquely, and in His image. We strive to help our students develop a moral compass and a set of values that will enable them to become responsible, contributing members of their community, as well as critical thinking, compassionate global citizens.
As parents and guardians, your role in supporting the school is an important one. A close relationship between home, school and parish is crucial in promoting the best interests of your child. Communication between all stakeholders is vital to the success and well being of our mission. We encourage you to stay connected via our website and social media platforms and through school masses and assemblies.
We look forward to working together this school year to support your family and enable student success!
