Track Resurfacing Project Update
We're excited to share that the St. James Public Schools track resurfacing project continues to move forward!
Over the weekend, the Pro Track and Tennis crew began cleaning the track surface and installing protective plastic in preparation for resurfacing. Today, crews are completing the remaining prep work, with track resurfacing scheduled to begin in the early morning hours on Tuesday, July 14.
To ensure the best possible installation and allow work to be completed before peak daytime temperatures, crews will begin work during the early morning hours over the next two days. Residents and neighbors near the track area may notice additional activity and noise when the track is being painted during these early morning hours. We appreciate your patience and understanding as this important project moves forward.
🚧 The track remains closed to all public use and will remain closed until the project is complete.
We'll continue to share updates throughout the project. Be sure to follow St. James Public Schools for the latest information as we invest in a renewed facility that will serve our students, athletes, and community for years to come.

They say many hands make light work, and that couldn’t have been more true during the installation of Northside’s three new sensory pathways!
After a combined 20.5 hours of painting Monday afternoon, these exciting new pathways are ready for summer fun and will be waiting for our Summer Learning Academy students next month.
We are incredibly grateful to the District 840 Foundation for sponsoring two of the pathways and to our local Health & Human Services SHIP (Statewide Health Improvement Partnership) Grant for sponsoring the third. Their generosity helps create engaging opportunities for movement, learning, and sensory regulation for our students.
A heartfelt thank you to our community partners and supporters. Projects like these are only possible because of your investment in our students and schools. We can’t wait to see the smiles, movement, and learning these pathways inspire for years to come! It has already started to get some use!

To wrap up the school year, the Sun Room Café served up a sweet treat with cotton candy lemonade. 🍋💙 We also had our 5th graders participate in one of his favorite days, Door Dash!
This month, some of our students also had the opportunity to visit the Good Samaritan Society here in town where they served lemonade to residents, practiced social skills, and enjoyed a few fun rounds of bowling together 🎳💛
As we close the café for the year, we want to send a HUGE heartfelt thank you to all the staff who purchased smoothies and cold brew throughout the year, as well as the classrooms that welcomed our students and café cart into their spaces. Your support helped provide meaningful opportunities for our students to build communication, functional life skills, social interaction, teamwork, and confidence each and every week ❤️
And don’t worry… the Sun Room Café will be back next year with a NEW midweek treat for staff to enjoy as well as NEW frozen treats for students — DIRTY SODAS & SLUSHIES! 🥤✨
The SUN Room Cafe hopes everyone has a wonderful summer ☀️ vacation, and we can’t wait to see you all again this fall! 🍂
