Class of 2025 Updates
from the Pius XI Office of Admissions
We hope that everyone had a blessed Easter and had some time to relax and enjoy family time over break.
You'll see three surveys listed below. The World Language Placement Survey and Freshmen Interest Survey have been in the newsletter for a few weeks now, but the Health Snapshot is new. Please make sure to take a moment and fill out all three surveys (if you have not already done so).
If your family filled out a a spring FACTS financial aid application please know that we are working with the Financial Aid Committee to get award letters out and this information will be communicated in the next two weeks.
The Business Office is currently in the process of setting up electronic accounts through FACTS for all students. Families with tuition responsibility will be able to make payments electronically using this platform. Information regarding activating your account and how to make payments will be communicated in the upcoming weeks.
Please feel free to contact us at admissions@piusxi.org.
Have a great weekend,
Angela and Kelly
