Reminder: End of the Year Lunch Account Information

All Parents: With the school year drawing to a close, lunch accounts for all students need to be monitored closely so that they do not have negative balances.

Parents of Seniors: If your senior has a credit balance and has a sibling here at Xavier, the money will be transferred to the sibling’s account. Otherwise, a refund will be given to the seniors before the senior breakfast on May 19, 2023. If you have automatic payments set up through EZSchoolpay.com into your senior student’s account, you will need to go in and stop the automatic payments. Please do this before the week of May 15, as that is the week accounts will be refunded.
