Dear Parents of the Class of 2025,

We hope that your children, our newest Clippers, had a great time with us at their Welcome Orientation. On behalf of our administration, faculty, and student-body, I can say with certainty that we truly loved having them visit and get to know their new home.

As their final days of 8^th grade are approaching, we know that there are many questions about the next steps of their high school journey. We also know that the process may seem a bit overwhelming, so we are going to be sending information spread out over the next several weeks.

You may have received an email earlier today indicating that a new Tuition Management Contract had been assigned to your account. This contract will officially be active by 12 PM tomorrow.

In this email, we are going to provide information about tuition accounts, our music program, and ordering uniforms. All information regarding language class placement, the submission of required academic information and medical records, registration for our private bus service, and summer assignments will be conveyed in a future email.

To simplify the process of paying tuition while providing more efficient 24 hour online account information, all families are REQUIRED to make tuition payments directly to SMART Tuition, the tuition processing company for all Xaverian and Genesis students. No tuition payments are made to Xaverian. Even if your child receives a full scholarship, you must create an account. Please note, if your child is currently an 8^th grader in Xaverian’s Genesis Program, you will not need to create a new SMART account for next year.

When you sign into your online Harbor account, you will now see a new tuition contract that has been assigned. This contract will allow you to set up your SMART account for the upcoming school year. Please note, you will need your bank’s routing number and account information to complete the setup. If you currently have a student enrolled in Xaverian, you will have the ability to link your incoming student to your existing account.

Please be sure to set up your SMART Tuition account by Friday, June 11^th. If you have any questions, please contact the Tuition Office at 718-836-7100, ext. 180.

If your child is interesting in joining our MAX (Music at Xaverian) Program, please see the attached music survey. There will be a meeting about the Music Program on Monday, June 21^st. Since in-person seats are limited, please be sure to RSVP to Mr. Loposky at jloposky@xaverian.org by Monday, June 14^th. You can either submit your music survey via email or bring it with you to the meeting.

Uniform materials will need to be purchased through Lands' End. You can find all the uniform requirements and ordering directions in our Student Guide (starting on Page 22). More specific directions on how to order uniforms will also be added to the Class of 2025 Welcome page in the near future.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about anything mentioned above. Best of luck to your children as they finish their middle school career and congratulations on their upcoming graduation!
