Congratulations to this week's #NorthsideStJ Saints Power Winners. #GoSaints
Saints Families and Staff,
We have had a day filled with COVID testing and families reporting that they are experiencing COVID symptoms. As we continue to contact trace, we are recognizing that most of the students and staff will be required to mask. Therefore, St. James Public Schools is moving to Mandatory Face Coverings in all buildings until the end of January (Monday, January 31, 2022). It is our hope that these two weeks help to cut down on transmission. As a reminder, face covered individuals are not considered close contacts when everyone is masked due to the layer of protection face covering provides.
Face coverings should be worn over the mouth and nose. A face shield is considered a face covering. Children aged two and under are not to be face covered. Preschool families of children three and four years of age are highly recommended to face cover your children.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation as we remain committed to staying open during this difficult time.
In Saints pride,
Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendent
Familias y personal Saints,
Hemos tenido un día lleno de pruebas de COVID y familias que informan que están experimentando síntomas de COVID. A medida que continuamos con el rastreo de contactos, reconocemos que la mayoría de los estudiantes y el personal deberán usar mascarilla. Por lo tanto, las Escuelas Públicas de St. James está cambiando a Coberturas Faciales Obligatorias en todos los edificios hasta finales de enero (lunes 31 de enero de 2022). Esperamos que estas dos semanas ayuden a reducir la transmisión. Como recordatorio, las personas que se cubren la cara/boca no se consideran contactos cercanos cuando todos tienen una mascarilla puesta debido a la capa de protección que brinda la cubierta facial.
Las cubiertas faciales deben usarse sobre la boca y la nariz. Un protector facial se considera una cubierta facial. Los niños menores de dos años no deben cubrirse la cara. Las familias preescolares de niños de tres y cuatro años, se recomienda a las familias cubrir la cara de sus hijos.
Le agradecemos de antemano su cooperación, ya que seguimos comprometidos a permanecer abiertos durante este momento difícil.
Con orgullo Saints,
Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendente

Parents, please remind your student(s) of the seriousness of any such behavior. If anyone were to hear of such a threat, please immediately notify St. James PD and school administration.
Again, there is NO active threat. I want to make sure you are informed of this nationwide situation.

Last Friday, #NorthsideStJ 2nd Graders had a virtual visit from the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) and their teaching artist, Ebony.
An excerpt from MIA's description of the program: "Mia called its program “World of Water” because it emphasizes how people around the world need water—and they make art to store, carry, drink, use, and celebrate water. During this experience students observe and discuss images or objects focused on the importance of water, create a watercolor painting using diverse materials and experimental techniques in the studios, and design an original water container inspired by sketches they’ve made of art from the around the world"
Thank you to Turnaround Arts Minnesota and MIA for their continued partnership with Northside Elementary School.
