ACTION ITEM: PowerSchool Registration
|
|
Thank you to all of those that have completed PowerSchool Registration. We know that it was a new process this year and takes some time, but your attention to this is much appreciated! This process helps us to keep accurate data on all of our students. Thank you!
If you have not had a chance to finish this, we ask that you please do so as soon as possible. We are working hard to organize iPad pickup and make preparations for the upcoming school year. If you run into any troubles please feel free to call us at 319-294-6635 or email meg.hansen@xaviersaints.org
If you still need to complete PowerSchool Registration click here for complete directions.
-
Please complete both the “Required” forms and the “School Specific” forms. (After completing the “Required” forms, you will need to click on “Forms” again, then select “School Specific” & manually click on each of the four forms across the top.)
- Make sure that all forms for all students are complete by ensuring that none of the necessary forms are marked “Empty.”
- Some may be “pending” until we approve them, but as long as there are none that are “Empty” you have finished the process.
- Many families have completed some but not all forms, so if you’re not sure, please double check.
Please note that the PowerSchool Registration process must be completed before students will be permitted to pick-up their iPads for the fall semester. A signed tuition contract & EFT form (if applicable) will also need to be submitted prior to iPad pick-up.
Click here to go to the Parent PowerSchool login page to register each of your students.

After careful consideration, the only available date this fall will be during the second week of school.
- Wednesday August 31 - Homecoming Mass
- Thursday September 1 - Pep Rally and Bonfire
- Friday September 2 - Alumni Hall of Fame Induction at halftime of the football game
- Saturday September 3 - Homecoming Dance (lock-in)
Xavier Community System student leaders have begun preparation for events and dress days throughout the week. This information will be shared with students in August prior to school start.

Reminder: Consider Hosting an International Student |
|
Xavier partners with Youth for Understanding to place qualified and dynamic international students at Xavier. YFU has partners in many countries around the world. They have both in-bound and out-bound programs. YFU students are between the ages of 15 and 18 and have medical insurance and spending money. They speak English well enough to live with a family and be successful in an American high school. YFU families provide the love and guidance that you would provide to your own child, three meals a day (this includes a sack lunch for school or money in a lunch account), a separate bed and a study area, and a means of transportation to and from school.
If you are interested in hosting for the 2022/2023 school year, apply on-line at YFUUSA.org or text/call YFU Local Coordinator Sandy Scaia, with questions. Sandy lives in Cedar Rapids and can be reached at 319-431-5447.
