NEW: Middle School Exploratory Committee - April Update
In an effort to continue providing transparency regarding the work of the various committees within the Xavier Catholic Schools community, please see the information below regarding the latest meeting held by the middle school exploratory study committee. 

Included is the information from the latest meeting held on April 17, 2023 at Regis Middle School. As a reminder, this group is tasked with answering the question by providing a recommendation to the three middle school boards: Is it in the long term best interest for the metro Catholic middle schools to remain independent or become consolidated?

You will find the following documents included with this communication as a way to ensure this process is transparent and clear.


Please take a minute to read the attached document as a way of understanding the work this group is doing.  Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the contacts listed.

Reminder: Senior Retreat 2023
Attention Seniors Parents! Senior Retreat is Friday, May 5th at St. Patrick's Parish Center. Students should check in at the Parish Center by 8:15am and then we will head over to St. Patrick's for 8:30am Mass. After mass our morning will include a few speakers, some senior memory activities, lunch and a Senior Walk at their elementary schools!

*Please remind seniors that this is a required school day and attendance will be taken.

Students need to bring: a sack lunch + drink as well as their cap + gown (no tassel). Please also remind students that there is substantial construction happening around St. Pat's and to arrive early.
Reminder: Attendance as the Year Winds Down
As we get close to the end of the year, and particularly close to finals for seniors, we ask your help in doing all that you can to ensure that your students make every effort to attend classes throughout the remainder of the semester. While it may be difficult to decline a request from your student, particularly a senior student, to "call in" for them, we ask that you help us maintain a sense of academic purpose.
 
Despite what your student may tell you, there is no school approved "skip day" at any time during the year. We count on your partnership with us and on your integrity when faced with those requests from your students.
 
Thanks for all you do to help us ensure that your students stay focused on their studies!
