Parents, Please follow this link for the 2023-2024 Student Re-Registration form*. This form is for re-registration of current students in grades PS3 -7th grade. You may also request a "new student" registration form for children of current families who you'd like registered for the 2023-2024 school year**. Please direct all re-registration questions to Mrs. Peggy Evans at: pevans@sfxlg.org or call her at the school office. Click here:
https://forms.gle/maTxmeALLV4KAfDo7
*Please complete and submit 1 form for each of your students currently in grades PS3-7th no later than Tuesday, November 22nd. If you replied “no” or “uncertain” on your student’s re-registration form you will not be assessed the re-registration fee nor will a seat be reserved for your student in the 2023-2024 grade level count. The non-refundable re-registration fee of $95.00 per student will be billed through your FACTS account in February.
**If you are a current school family and have a child ready to enter Saint Francis Xavier for the first time next year, please request a New Student enrollment form by completing the appropriate questions on the online re-registration form. New student hard copy enrollment forms will be sent home beginning Tuesday, November 8th and we ask that they be returned with original birth and baptismal certificates by Tuesday, November 22nd. Original certificates will be returned to parents. All re-registration questions and questions regarding new students of current families should be directed to Mrs. Evans at pevans@sfxlg.org.
Open enrollment for families NEW to St. Francis will begin December 5th.
