September is Attendance Awareness Month! 🎒🐯✏️ As part of our "Attendance: Your Passport to Success" campaign, we're reminding our Tiger Community of the critical role regular attendance plays in their child's success. Missing just 2 days a month, or 18 days a year (10% of the school year), is considered chronic absenteeism and can present challenges to academic progress. Every day truly counts! Ensure your student is present and ready to learn every day! Check out our webpage for more information on how you can support your child’s attendance: https://www.stjschools.org/page/attendance. Let's work together to make this school year a success! #AttendanceMatters #PassportToSuccess #stjschools

Mission Monday: Lighting Up Our Future Together! 💡🐯❤️ A big shoutout to the City of St. James and Musco Lighting for their support and partnership! After severe storms damaged the light poles at our football field and track this past spring, the city, and Musco Lighting stepped up to help us replace them just in time for our first home game last Friday. Through strong community partnerships like this, we empower our students, foster caring relationships, and achieve academic excellence. Together, we're lighting the way for a bright future! Thank you, City of St. James, and Musco Lighting for being true Tiger community supporters! #CommunityFirst #MissionMonday #tigerpride
