Wednesday, December 8 is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a holy day of obligation and we will be celebrating Mass at 9:50am. Guests are welcome to attend. This will be a community shirt day, which means that students should wear their community shirts with dress code pants.

Requests for schedule changes for Semester 2 schedules are taking place Now through December 9th in the Student Services office. Staff will be available to help before school, after school, and during Xcel. Please check your students Semester 2 schedules (via the students PowerSchool App) and ask for recommendations from current teachers regarding any level changes at semester. Some classes may be full, so it is important to have your student address this early with their school counselors who will do their best to accommodate requests.

If your student would like to participate in Girls retreat, please have them register HERE -- but read on for more details!

Girls Retreat will be held January 20th (9th and 10 graders) and January 21st (11th and 12th graders) at St. Ludmila Parish Center. The theme for the day is "Find Your Happy", and we will have guest speaker, Alisabeth Von Presley joining us as our keynote speaker! The retreat will run from 8:45 am - 2:30 pm, so students will miss a day of school (and will be responsible for making up any work that you miss).  

The cost is $20, and includes lunch and a t-shirt. Lunch has not been decided yet, but communication will come out as soon as we have that nailed down! You will need to pay your $20 at xavierhs.8to18.com, and your registration WILL NOT be complete until that payment has been made.  

DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION IS DECEMBER 10TH AT NOON -- no exceptions will be made after this date for spacing purposes.

Semester Final Assessments will take place the last school days in December. Students are expected to report to all classes for final exams. Any planned absences during finals must be scheduled in advance with Mr. Svare. Click HERE for more detailed information regarding the schedule in December.
