Staff Appreciation Update from Parent Committee
Thank you very much for everyone’s generosity in helping us show our amazing XHS staff some appreciation during these unprecedented times. Thus far we have done three “Thankful Thursdays”. On the first, staff had their choice of a pumpkin or mum, for the second they each received a delicious and artful cookie, and last week staff had their choice of three types of caramel apples. Staff have really appreciated the gestures of thanks and knowing parents appreciate their efforts. We have additional plans to thank them in grander ways in November and December. Thank you very much to those who have donated to help make this happen. If you have any questions, please email Keri at ksmccormick@me.com or Lisa at lpfaff@xaviercatholicschools.org 

AP Tests
Students interested in taking an AP test must register AND make a payment in the Counseling Suite no later than Monday, November 11. Each AP test costs $95. The registration form can be found on their AP class website. For payment, students can either choose to fill out and return a signed form (also found on their AP Class website) to have the test cost put on their Smart Tuition Account or bring a check to Mrs Hansen in the Attendance Office. Late registration will cost an additional $55 per test. 

Students who received accommodations for the PLAN, ACT or SAT must see Mr Neiswender immediately to discuss possible accommodations for AP testing. The deadline to apply for accommodations is January 2021. If you have any questions regarding AP testing, please see your AP teacher or talk with Mrs. Schuh.

Senior Grad Ads for Yearbook
Parents of seniors should have received an e-mail yesterday with details about grad ads for the yearbook. We mistakenly omitted the flyer. Please click here for that important piece of information.

Volunteer Hours
Students are reminded that they need to volunteer for a minimum of 20 hours per year. Last year's hours, if not yet completed, must also be made up before beginning this year's hours. Of the at least 80 hours by graduation, 20 must be served at a parish.

If you are new to the school, be sure to set up your getnvolved.org account. Directions were sent over the summer or can be obtained from Mrs. Waters. If your child needs help setting up his or her account, he/she is encouraged to stop by Mrs. Waters' office for help.

Asking for your help: If you capture any pictures of your students or their team members during sporting events this year, yearbook would greatly appreciate your help. Our team is limited this year in their ability to cover sporting events due to the COVID-19 restrictions surrounding events this year. Our yearbook team would appreciate any and all pictures you are willing to share with us to help us capture our students in their extra-curricular activities. The link to upload pictures directly to our yearbook site is below. Thank you in advance for your help!
