NEW: Scheduling for 2023-24 Classes
All students have been presented information and had the opportunity to request classes for the 2023-24 school year in PowerSchool. We recommend that parents and students talk over these class selections in the next few days and make any changes to their request using the students PowerSchool account before the class registration closes this Monday at noon. Parents can also access this information on their Parent Account under Class Registration. After Monday, all request changes will need to be made through the student's school counselor.

Reminder: Donation Request for the Mini Dance Marathon
The Mini Dance Marathon is requesting donations of mini water bottles and individually prepackaged snacks for those that are attending the Mini Dance Marathon on Friday, February 17th.

Reminder: FACTS Applications for the 2023-24 School Year
The FACTS online application for STO opened on January 1st, with the deadline being
April 15th. In addition to completing the application, parents must upload their
2022 federal tax return and other required schedules or tax documentation. Families who applied last year should have received an email that the 23-24 applications are open. 

With the passing of ESA legislation, Xavier High School strongly encourages families to complete the FACTS management forms in addition to the forthcoming application for ESAs. This potentially opens up more opportunities for families to receive tuition assistance through multiple sources.
 
Reminder: Post Prom 2023
2023 Post Prom will be held on April 22, 2023 immediately following Xavier Prom. As always, the goal of Post Prom has been to provide a safe, fun, drug- and alcohol-free environment for our students. 

We are in need of Post Prom Co-Chairs (2) and Prize Chairs (2). This is typically served by junior parents. If you are interested or have questions regarding either, please text Kelly Hiserote at 319-533-8300
Reminder: Tuition Statements
To make the process more efficient for families, we are asking parents to print off tuition statements from the "My BackPack" website (step by step process below) to use for the Tuition Tax Credit on your Iowa tax return. The credit is maxed out at $2,000 of allowed school expense per student (tuition, textbooks) for the 2022 calendar year and the maximum credit is $500 or 25% of max expense per student. 
 
Please provide this documentation to the person who prepares your tax return to take advantage of the tuition tax credit.
