What a memorable 5th Anniversary! Thanks to many prayers and the generosity by our alumni, current and former parents, students, Future Saints, and supporters, we raised $80,163 to benefit all of the teachers at our Xavier Catholic Schools!

Missed the day? If you would still like to contribute to our Forever Saints Day campaign and our teachers salaries through the Xavier Impact Fund, you can still do so here. All of the fun and excitement of the day will be available for viewing on XavierSaints.org/FSD.

Included in this communication is the information as it relates to the March 27, 2023 middle school exploratory study committee meeting held at St. Joseph Catholic School. As a reminder, this group is tasked with answering the question by providing a recommendation to the three middle school boards: Is it in the long term best interest for the metro Catholic middle schools to remain independent or become consolidated?

The Our Faith, Our Children, Our Future School Tuition Organization (STO) and Xavier High School are pleased to once again provide tuition assistance to qualifying families. The STO program will be utilizing FACTS Management in Lincoln, NE to assist in determining the level of assistance to be awarded. FACTS Management has an application that all families need to complete to be considered for assistance. Your personal information will be held in strictest confidence at all times. If you have a child at more than one Archdiocesan School, you will only need to complete one application form. If divorced parents each pay a portion of the tuition bill, then each household needs to complete an application for a possible award towards their portion of tuition. There is a $36 non-refundable processing fee for the online application payable to FACTS. We do not have paper applications this year.

The FACTS application needs to be completed no later than April 15, 2023. The application is available online at online.factsmgt.com/aid in both English and Spanish. In addition to your completed application, you must include a copy of 2022 current wage and tax information.

The second round FACTS applications are due July 1st.

Donations can be dropped off at the practice gym Friday, April 14, 2023 from 3-6pm.

We are asking that you submit to us a copy of the letter or certificate documenting any college or university scholarship earned by your student. If your student has been offered scholarships by more than one institution, you should include all of them in your reporting.

This documentation should be submitted to Student Services Secretary Mrs. Anne Wallraff no later than Friday, April 21 at 3:00 p.m.
