2022-2023 REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Thank you to the families who have already re-registered for 2022-2023!
A $75 per student nonrefundable re-registration fee will be charged to all families’ FACTS accounts in the first two weeks of February. If you reply “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 2022-2023 grade level count.
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 (from current family) hard copy enrollment forms will be sent home beginning Monday, November 9th and we ask that they be returned with original birth and baptismal certificates by Friday, November 19th. 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.

UPDATES FROM PRINCIPAL GARCIA |
|
|
|
Dear SFX Parents,
We are in the final stages of preparing to introduce our new Extended Care Program provider.
Our goal is now to begin our new program for the 21-22 school year the week after Thanksgiving Break. We are waiting on the contract, which should be completed this week.
I have asked the provider to be ready to go next week with parent communications. Registrations and payments will be made directly to the provider. We look forward to sharing their information and welcoming this new program to SFX.

We continue to observe and evaluate our traffic pattern and guidelines around the school to try and be expedient, safe and respectful to everyone, including our neighbors.
After a few meetings with the LaGrange Police Department and the Village it has been decided that if SFX drivers follow our traffic pattern and guidelines we will accomplish our goal to the best of our ability.
New signs will be added to allow unloading during arrival and dismissal. Therefore, please review our traffic guidelines and please share them with anyone who drops off or picks up your child.
A few reminders:
- No parking on the west side of Waiola during arrival and pick up.
- East side of Waiola is a drop off and pick up zone only during dismissal and arrival time. Cars should not be parked.
- Students should be ready to get out of the car quickly at drop off to keep traffic moving with the light changes.
- Drivers should leave as soon as their child is dropped off or picked up.
- Ten minute only parking on the east side of Waiola by sidewalk in front of the doors during the school day.
Be Well and God Bless,
Sharon Garcia

Letters with login information for all of your students in PreK 4 to 8th have been sent home with your family’s oldest/only student. Don't lose or discard the letters. Your student's login last name, first name and DOB was uploaded from PowerSchool. If perchance the info was input incorrectly then it was uploaded incorrectly and that's all Meet the Teacher will recognize. Write down the parents first name, last name, email address used to login to make the appointment(s). You'll need to input it exactly as you did for the original booking to be able to log in for your appointments. Once the system goes live on the 22nd try logging in to see if you're successful and what the screen will look like.
