New: Help in Concessions
Concessions is the Booster Club’s biggest fundraiser and would not be possible without parent support. Each activity and sport is responsible for running Xavier’s concession stand 3 to 4 times each school year. September's activities that will volunteer for concessions include: Girls Basketball, Boys Soccer, Girls Soccer, Robotics and Volleyball. If your student participates in these activities please review the sign up for volunteer spots. All parents and volunteers are welcome regardless of activity to volunteer. Many hands make light work. 
 
 
Please sign up today!
Reminder: Request from Ms. Olson
We are fortunate at Xavier to have an outstanding faculty committed to the mission of our school. In their preparation, their willingness to help outside the school day and their willingness to direct some of our spiritual and extracurricular activities, the Xavier faculty demonstrates on a daily basis their desire to provide our students with an outstanding faith-based education. And, as many of you are aware, our faculty is compensated considerably less than their counterparts in area public schools. Clearly, their vocation is not prioritized by pay.
 
I write today to ask that you consider helping me show appreciation for all that our faculty do for the students at Xavier.
 
You may on occasion have tickets to local events (sporting events, concerts, etc.) that you are unable to use. If you are going to give away your tickets, I ask that you consider passing them along to me so that I may present them to staff members in thanks for all of their efforts. Many of you have done so in the past and I can tell you that our teachers have been overwhelmed by the gesture. It was a treat that many of them don’t get to experience very often.
 
I thank you for your continued prayerful support of Xavier. It is you who help make this a wonderful school community!
 
Sincerely,
 
Angela Olson, Principal

Reminder: XPX Begins Adoration... More Volunteers Needed
XPX is excited to continue Adoration in the Xavier Chapel for our students and community as of today. Adoration takes place every Friday during the school day, following 7 a.m. Mass and wrapping up at 3 p.m. We have two hours yet to fill: the 10:00 am hour (2 volunteers needed) and the noon hour (1 volunteer needed). Please consider volunteering as we cannot offer Adoration without at least 1 person per hour. Not able to commit weekly? We offer shared spots that reduce commitments to twice a month or to sub when needed. 

Contact Campus Ministry or XPX member, Sue Lowder at lowderp@yahoo.com to visit more about this special gift!
Reminder: Attendance
Class attendance is critical to a student’s academic success so they may develop spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially. When calling in your student’s absence, you need to state the reason for their absence.

Excused absences are for the following reasons only:

  • personal illness
  • medical appointments with a note (dentist, doctor, physical therapist, mental health professional, etc.)
  • bereavement
  • religious observance
  • court appearance
  • prearranged absences for family activities, where at least one of their parent/guardian will be present 
  • school-sponsored trips
  • administrative approved absences
  • COVID-19 Isolation (positive COVID test)
  • COVID-19 Exposure (communicated to school nurse, Mrs. Naeve

When calling your student out, please make sure you are doing so for the reasons above. If the reason for the absence is not one of them, the absence will be considered unexcused. If you have questions please contact Mr. Svare.
