The children will always be courteous and respectful to visitors, the faculty, and fellow students.   They will always greet teachers, open doors for adults, and offer other courtesies.

When walking in the hallway, they will be silent so that other classes are not disturbed.   The students are not allowed in the school building before 7:55 A.M. nor may they return to the building during lunch or after they are dismissed.   Students may not return to the building to retrieve forgotten assignments or books after dismissal.   On rainy or very cold days, however, the children will be permitted in the cafeteria in the morning before school.   No child is to arrive at Saint James prior to 7:45 A.M. since there is no supervision in the schoolyard or cafeteria prior to this time.

Students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades are expected to comply with the “Saint James Constitution for Cooperation ” affirming it by signing the Cooperation Contract . Parents are asked to support them in their efforts by carefully reading and co-signing the Student Contract .

In compliance with the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, Saint James School maintains a zero tolerance in regard to school violence or the threat of violence.   Bullying of any kind will not be tolerated . 

Every appropriate step will be employed to safeguard the well-being and dignity of every student.   Parents and students share in this responsibility and should report any concern of this nature to the Principal.
