Thank you to the many parents who have re-registered their students! To date over half of our current enrollment has re-enrolled. |

CURRENT STUDENT RE-REGISTRATION
The link to the re-registration form is below. Please complete and submit 1 form for each of your students currently in grades PS3-7th no later than Friday, November 20th. A $75 per student nonrefundable re-registration fee will be charged to all families’ FACTS accounts the week of January 11, 2021. If you reply “no” or “uncertain” on your student’s re-registration form regarding their return, you will not be assessed the re-registration fee nor will a seat be reserved for your student in the 2021-2022 grade level count. We will not be able to guarantee a spot in our 2021-2022 classrooms for families who have not re-registered by November 20th.

High School Placement Test
The Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic high schools will be administering the High School Placement Test on Dec. 5, 2020. To address health concerns, in addition to offering the exam on the high school campus, the schools will be offering a remote/online administration of the exam and potentially multiple testing sessions, starting on Dec. 5. All in-person high school testing will be expected to follow strict safety measures, as provided by the archdiocese.
Students and families can begin to register for the examination at the high school of their choice beginning Nov. 13. Information regarding the testing details for the individual high schools can be found at the High School Admissions websites.

How do I use the Shop SFX program?
Every few weeks, I reload both my Mariano’s card & my Amazon account so that I get credit for all of those groceries and the Amazon packages that we just can’t seem to get enough of! And more often than I’d like to admit, I find myself waiting in line at other stores (or shopping online) and I check the RaiseRight App to see if I can purchase a digital gift card so that I can use it immediately on my purchase.
How do you use the Shop SFX program?
There are so many ways! You can pay by connecting your checking account, by check (sent into the school) or by credit card! Yes, even credit cards! And so many vendors to choose from! Amazon.com, Starbucks, Apple & iTunes, Gap & Old Navy, Target...Just to name a few!
Not sure what Shop SFX is all about? We are here to help! Email us at ShopForSFX@sfxlg.org for more information.
A special thanks to all of the families that already support Shop SFX!

Let an individual Teacher, Staff or Administrative Team Member know that they are appreciated!

The following is shared community news. Content shared is informational and does not serve as a recommendation or endorsement by SFX School or Parish. |
Have heard the news? St. Francis Xavier has embarked upon the critical task of building a comprehensive alumni database! With so many great things happening every day in our award-winning school, we want to find and stay in touch with all the Falcons who have walked the halls previously. This alumni database will:
- Connect SFX alumni, both past and present
- Promote information of current state happenings of SFX school, and highlight strategic visioning plans for the future
- Celebrate our most tenured teachers and showcase teaching accomplishments
- Highlight current student and/or alumni accomplishments
- Recap notable school events and impactful projects
- Share photos, videos, athletic records etc.
- Feature notable events, projects etc.
- Invite SFX alumni to future targeted, alumni-specific events
If you are an alumnus or know a SFX alum, we need your help!
Please take a moment to complete this short questionnaire with your current contact info. Then, either forward this email on to the many family and friends who are also Falcons, or fill out the form on their behalf. With so many siblings attending SFX, we'd hate for a couple of members of the family to be out of the loop.
