Dear St. Francis Xavier Families,
Thank you for your input on the recent survey regarding extended care at St. Francis Xavier School for the 22-23 school year. We looked at many factors, including comparative costs to find the best option for an extended care provider for onsite at SFX. After thoughtful consideration, we have decided to return to our local option of the Park District of LaGrange (BASE). In addition to 5 day registration, the PDLG has agreed to a "Wednesday only" option for SFX families, as space allows. Attached is the registration information for students PK4 and older. Please note that registration for BASE is in person at the Park District of LaGrange, 536 East Ave., La Grange, beginning at 8:30am on Monday, May 16th, and all questions should be directed to the BASE administration listed on the attachment.
God Bless and Be Well,
Sharon Garcia
