XAVIER UPDATE: July 17, 2024
Welcome to the 2024/25 School Year!
We would like to welcome our 2024-2025 XHS families to the "Xavier Update." This email will be sent as needed throughout the summer, then on a weekly basis in the form of the "Xavier Navigator" with important information for XHS parents to stay up-to-date with things happening around the school. If someone in your family is not receiving this email, please contact meg.hansen@crxcs.org.

These emails can also be found on the "Parent Portal" on the Xavier website at XavierSaints.org/Parent under the "News & Updates" section.

During the school year, parents will receive Xavier's "Good News" email (featuring highlights of the many great things happening at Xavier) on Thursdays.

Important information regarding the 2024-2025 school year will be mailed over the next few days, so please be on the look out for that. We are looking forward to another 'xceptional school year!

GO SAINTS!

We also strongly encourage families to connect with Xavier on social media:

If your student is interested in participating in any extracurricular activities for the fall, winter, spring, or summer seasons (FINE ARTS, ATHLETICS OR CLUBS), parents must register each student via Bound. If your student is interested in participating in multiple activities, please register for each activity.

Please do NOT upload immunization records - these must be turned in to the school nurse either via hard copy or emailed to kris.naeve@crxcs.org
