Principal's Message
Dear SFX Family,
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day this past weekend! Congratulations to our second grade students who received their First Communion on Saturday. May the blessings of Christ be upon you always!
Today we had a beautiful Closing Mass & Promotion Ceremony for the seventh grade. They are now official alumni of St. Francis Xavier. We wish them all the best in the next chapter of life. We are proud of you!
Tonight is our last Home & School Association Meeting at 6:30 PM. We will once again be virtual. The link was emailed to you and is also below. We hope to see you there!
Please note the link below to a revised Calendar-at-a-Glance for the 2021-2022 School Year. Due to a change with the required attendance for the NCEA Conference in April of 2022, we were able to take back some of the days in April and regain two holidays and a weekend in December!
The deadline to sign up for Summer Cabbage Ball is this Friday, May 14! Information is below.
Next week, we will be live streaming the Kindergarten Closing Ceremony on Thursday, May 20 and the Closing Mass on Friday, May 21. Links will be sent out closer to the dates.
Lastly, we hope to see you all at the SFX Parish Family Picnic this Sunday from 1:00-4:00 PM at Pontiff Playground, Shelter #6. All school and parish families are invited! Bring your own chair; we will provide the rest!
Have a great rest of the week!
May God bless you and keep you,
Jessica

REMINDERS
- Hang your name sign from your rear view mirror for the entirety of carpool so that all staff can see the name. Hint: A pants hanger works great!
- Siblings & Carpools are dismissed from the yard.
- Single Riders are dismissed from Betz Pl. Please go to your usual location even if a sibling is sick or out of school. The students are used to going to their designated side.
- If anyone in your immediate family tests positive, please notify Ms. Dwyer immediately. You can call the school, 833-1471, or email if after hours.
- Students should be kept home if they have any symptoms and their doctor should be consulted. Please do not assume it is allergies or a cold or send them to school after giving medication.
- Early check-outs are not allowed past 2:30 PM on a regular day or 1:00 PM on an early dismissal day. Please only use early check-outs when absolutely necessary.
