New: Scheduling for Current Freshmen
PowerSchool has encountered a technical issue which prevented us from scheduling our current Freshman for their Sophomore classes during Xcel on Thursday as planned. We are postponing their scheduling until Xcel on Tuesday, February 7th.  
Reminder: Young Men's Conference Registration Deadline is TODAY!
The Xavier Young Men's Conference is coming on February 10th for guys in grades 11 and 12. 
  
Our theme this year is "Raising the Bar" and the day will include talks from Mr. Goldsmith, special guest speakers and a Xavier alumni panel. This is an off campus event from 9:00am - 2:30pm hosted at St Patrick's parish.

If your student would like to participate they will need to fill out the registration form that will soon be sent to their Xavier email, then you will need to pay a $15 registration fee through xavierhs.8to18.com. The fee includes lunch and snacks for the day. Your registration will not be complete until you pay the $15 fee.

Please contact Mr. Winterhof at adam.winterhof@xaviersaints.org with any questions.

Deadline to register is TODAY February 3rd.
Reminder: FACTS Applications for the 2023-24 School Year
The FACTS online application for STO opened on January 1st, with the deadline being
April 15th. In addition to completing the application, parents must upload their
2022 federal tax return and other required schedules or tax documentation. Families who applied last year should have received an email that the 23-24 applications are open. 

With the passing of ESA legislation, Xavier High School strongly encourages families to complete the FACTS management forms in addition to the forthcoming application for ESAs. This potentially opens up more opportunities for families to receive tuition assistance through multiple sources.

Reminder: PowerSchool Registration / Admissions Priorities for the 2023-24 School Year
PowerSchool Registration is available starting today, January 30, for all Xavier Catholic Schools families. You are welcome and encouraged to start this process at this time. A final deadline will be in July. Communication will be shared with families this summer, closer to this deadline. Please keep in mind that if you complete this process in advance, additional information will be needed in July for final registration. Thank you!


NEW THIS YEAR for ALL XAVIER CATHOLIC SCHOOLS - Admissions Priorities: 

Guidance on enrollment decisions in the case of limited enrollment or waitlist situations at certain grade levels has been put in place. Priority enrollment is given to currently-enrolled students, children of Xavier Catholic School employees, and siblings of current students whose families are in good standing. We guarantee your child’s spot if the registration process is complete by March 1st, 2023.*

Any questions should be directed to the individuals listed below:
Reminder: Post Prom 2023
2023 Post Prom will be held on April 22, 2023 immediately following Xavier Prom. As always, the goal of Post Prom has been to provide a safe, fun, drug- and alcohol-free environment for our students. 

We are in need of Post Prom Co-Chairs (2) and Prize Chairs (2). This is typically served by junior parents. If you are interested or have questions regarding either, please text Kelly Hiserote at 319-533-8300
Reminder: Tuition Statements
To make the process more efficient for families, we are asking parents to print off tuition statements from the "My BackPack" website (step by step process below) to use for the Tuition Tax Credit on your Iowa tax return. The credit is maxed out at $2,000 of allowed school expense per student (tuition, textbooks) for the 2022 calendar year and the maximum credit is $500 or 25% of max expense per student. 
 
Please provide this documentation to the person who prepares your tax return to take advantage of the tuition tax credit.
