2022-2023 RE-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.

NEW SIBLING ENROLLMENT

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. 

We ask that hard copy enrollment forms for New Students from Current SFX School 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.
Mark your calendars: Empower Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Applications for the 2022/23 School Year

Empower Illinois’ reservation night has been set for 7 p.m., on Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022. 
The Faculty & Staff sincerely thank the FSA & Parents for the "End of the Trimester Fuel" !!
Check out some of our wonderful families who spoke at mass this past weekend, sharing the impact that a return to in-person learning had on their families last fall. Special thanks to the McElligott, Holmes and Fitzpatrick families for giving of their time in this way. As our parish looks back over the past fiscal year in their 2021 Annual Report , they have taken the time to highlight and celebrate the efforts of our school family that made in-person learning possible last year. 
Monday 11/22: Noon to 8:00 pm
Tuesday 11/23: 8 am to Noon 
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held Monday, November 22nd 12 Noon - 8pm and Tuesday, November 23rd 8am - 12 Noon. They will be held the same as last year logging into Meet The Teacher at: https://sfxlg.meettheteacher.com/ to participate in video conferences.

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. 

Here is a link to Meet the Teacher information you will find very useful:

Send your questions to Mrs. Evans at pevans@sfxlg.org.

TRAVEL

A reminder that SFX and the Archdiocese of Chicago follow the Chicago travel guidance. We continue to follow the City of Chicago's classification of "orange" states, maintaining our travel quarantine requirements for non-vaccinated individuals.

Non-vaccinated individuals must quarantine for 10 days or obtain negative COVID test to avoid the need to quarantine. Vaccinated individuals are not required to quarantine after travel.

ILLNESS

Also, please note that if your child is ill for less than 24 hours, the student may return to school the following day. If symptoms persist 24 hours or longer, the student may return to school if symptoms are mostly resolved and they have one of the following:

  • a negative Covid 19 PCR test

  • an alternative diagnosis from their doctor

  • quarantine for 10 days from symptom onset


There will be a dress down day on Friday, 11/19 for all students who returned their Original Works.

The order deadline has passed, but we ask that you still return either the magnet or $6 if you choose to keep the magnet.

Click & Clap is our year-round positive recognition program allowing families to acknowledge special moments, and thank a SFX Faculty or Staff member for something they have done that has left a positive impression on your child or on your family in a special way. Click & Claps are shared with the named faculty or staff member by Mrs. Garcia.
