ALL LASALLE CATHOLIC NEWS
Registration is Now Open!
PowerSchool registration is now available!
PowerSchool Registration is now available for all Xavier Catholic Schools families. You are welcome and encouraged to start this process at this time; however, the date of family registration with Xavier Catholic Schools will determine enrollment priority if the student is at the same priority level as other prospective students in the event of high demand for placement in a specific grade level. Additionally, the time of receiving registration materials will be used in situations where capacity limits enrollment; this process is used when priority levels are not in effect.
For enrollment to be considered complete, all Power School Enrollment Express forms must be submitted and/or accepted (yellow and green leaves will indicate these statuses). The deadline to complete the registration process is March 29, 2024 for priority enrollment. After March 29, 2024, all registration materials are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
A final deadline will be in June, at which point communication will be shared with families closer to this deadline. The updated Xavier Catholic Schools admissions and enrollment policy can be found below.
Any questions should be directed to the individuals listed below:
· PowerSchool Registration: Nancy Franey: nfraney@lasallecatholiccr.org & Kathy Ireland: kireland@lasallecatholiccr.org
· Admissions Priorities: Zach Zeckser: zzeckser@lasallecatholiccr.org & Heather Williams: hwilliams@lasallecatholiccr.org

LASALLE CATHOLIC MIDDLE SCHOOL NEWS
Cellular communication reminder
In order to minimize distractions, middle school students will be reminded to not use smart watches to communicate with people. We have not created a specific policy around these devices, as there has been very minimal issues with them. Parents, we ask you to please help us by communicating through the front office rather than texting children while at school. Thank you!
Concessions Help Needed for the Parent Association
We are in need of parent volunteers to run our concession stand during home wrestling meets. Please click on the links below for more information:

LASALLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NEWS
FAST Reports for Parents
Students in grades Kindergarten - 4th will be bringing home their FAST letters today that contain scores from their recent screening. Please check your child's backpack or folder for the envelope containing this information. Thank you!
Valentine's Day Parties on Tuesday, February 13th
This year Valentine's Day parties will be held on Tuesday, February 13th rather than February 14th since that is Ash Wednesday. Please feel free to send Valentine cards in with your child so they can hand them out to their classmates. Your child's classroom teacher will post the class list to SeeSaw for the correct spelling of names and the amount of cards needed. You may include trinkets or candy with the Valentines as long as they are tree nut and peanut free. All candy and Valentines will be sent home for parents to decide what their child(ren) can eat and when. None of the candy will be eaten at school. NO OUTSIDE TREATS CAN BE BROUGHT IN, INCLUDING CUPCAKES AND COOKIES.
Additionally, Tuesday will be a free dress day for students to wear red, purple, white, and pink to celebrate Valentine's day a little further!
A Note from the Nurse
We have quite a few kids out sick in the elementary building. We have students out with fevers and body aches and also some with vomiting and diarrhea. We are wiping off desks and commonly touched surfaces frequently at school. Please remember we ask that kids are fever free for 24 hours without tylenol before coming back to school. Thank You.
Nurse Shawn
Thank You!
A special thank you to Julie Fahnle (Mr. Fahnle's Mom) for treating the elementary staff to another one of her goodies, cinnamon rolls. They were delicious and your kindness is very much appreciated.
