NEW Action Item for Families Receiving an ESA |
|
If your student is receiving an ESA this year, the next step in the Students First ESA program is to confirm the tuition amount once Xavier has verified your student's enrollment.
Please log in to your Odyssey Portal to complete this step NOW! It should indicate "School Approved" when this step is ready and you should be able to click on "Review Tuition and Fees"
If you have not already completed the previous step to confirm your school, you will need to do that first, wait for Xavier to approve, then log back in and verify the tuition amount. The deadline to complete that step was Thursday, August 10th.
|
|
Currently we have received responses from about 31% of families.
There are many different types of opportunities to share your time and talent, and many hands make light work! Several of these opportunities or committees require little time commitment, have options available outside of work hours, and some can even be done from home.
Thank you for helping to support Xavier High School!
