Reminder: Parent Survey
Dear Xavier Families,

Xavier High School strives to fulfill our mission of educating the total person in a Catholic environment and we want to know about your experience as a parent or caretaker of a Xavier Saint.  

As such, we invite you to share feedback in our Parent Survey.  The survey includes questions about your student’s learning, school safety, Catholic identity, interpersonal relationships, as well as your perceptions of the school environment and your personal involvement in school. Your feedback will be used to determine areas of strength and areas to focus improvement.  Your responses are anonymous unless you choose otherwise. As you respond to each survey item, please think about your own personal experiences as a parent, caregiver or guardian at Xavier. 

Please complete your survey response by May 10. Thank you for your time and your continued partnership in supporting the Saints and Xavier.


Sincerely,
Angela Olson, Principal

All Parents: With the school year drawing to a close, lunch accounts for all students need to be monitored closely so that they do not have negative balances.

Parents of Seniors: If your senior has a credit balance and has a sibling here at Xavier, the money will be transferred to the sibling’s account. Otherwise, a refund will be given to the seniors before the senior breakfast on May 19, 2023. If you have automatic payments set up through EZSchoolpay.com into your senior student’s account, you will need to go in and stop the automatic payments. Please do this before the week of May 15, as that is the week accounts will be refunded.
