Dear St. James Academy Families,
It is with great anticipation and excitement that the St. James Academy Parents’ Association welcomes you to the 2026-2027 school year! The start of each new school year brings a palpable buzz of promise, new beginnings, growth, and joy as we are reunited with friends! We hope you are as excited to participate in all the amazing fun and meaningful events that SJA shares with our students and community! We can’t wait to see everyone’s smiling faces on campus!
The Parents’ Association is a volunteer organization, composed of parents, teachers, faculty, and staff. The goal of the Parents’ Association is to enhance our children’s experience at SJA. We are dedicated to creating opportunities to build our wonderful SJA community, shower our teachers and staff with appreciation, and foster family-school relationships. We love SJA, and we are committed to spreading joy and school spirit with the events and activities we support!
The Parents’ Association would not be able to accomplish everything we do without the manpower and efforts of all of you as our incredible volunteers! The community of SJA is so talented and generous, and we are so grateful to the community for helping us support our wonderful school and everything it provides for our children. Every parent/guardian is already a member of the PA! We encourage you to get involved, make new connections, and support our efforts!
We kindly ask that every household do their best to sign up for a minimum of three volunteer slots. Our Room Parent Program, Jingle Bell Junction, Christmas Shoppe, Ladies’ Bingo Night, and Teacher Appreciation Week all rely on volunteers just like you in order to operate. These programs cannot run without your support. Volunteer your time and you will experience a sense of community and soar with SJA pride! Teamwork makes the dream work! Sign up to volunteer by clicking on the event links!
