NEW: Partnering with Parents!
|
|
At Xavier, we greatly value the partnership with our parents! It takes intentional effort in busy schedules to prioritize that commitment with us and we are grateful for the support from you as parents as we work to support students together. This week is our spring night for Parent-Teacher Conferences. Whether your student is thriving or would benefit from more support, we hope to see you here on Wednesday night. These are drop-in conferences from 6:00-8:00 pm. As you look toward spring break, I urge you to consider strengthening the partnership between you as parents and the outstanding teachers here at Xavier. Thanks for all you do to partner together with us for the Saints!
Ms. Olson

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.
