At St. Francis Xavier School, we strive to create a Christian educational community where human knowledge, enlightened and enlivened by faith, is shared by teachers, students and parents in a spirit of freedom and love. In cooperation with, and as partners of the parents, we consider the whole child and help each develop his/her God-given potential, i.e., physical, intellectual, social, aesthetic, and spiritual to their maximum realization.
The primary reason for the existence of St. Francis Xavier School is the formation of the whole child. Special attention is given the preparation and presentation of the formal religion classes and all teachers strive to stress Catholic Christian values in every area of the curriculum. Because parents are the primary educators of their children, it is the parent's responsibility to reinforce these values. We encourage parents to pray with your children and cooperate with the school community in guiding your children to become mature Catholic adults.
Registration for admission to St. Francis Xavier School occurs during the third quarter on days designated by the Principal in consultation of the Pastor and the School Board.
Prior to attending kindergarten in our school, the following records are necessary:
Child's birth certificate.
Baptismal record, if not baptized at St. Francis Xavier.
Immunization records
Children who enter St. Francis Xavier School in other grades must present proper transfer documents from the school previously attended and baptismal record as above.
In connection with our school, we also provide after-school care for students. This has proved to be an extremely popular program with more students attending each year. Parents can be reassured of their children's safety and care during the period between school dismissal until they return home from work.
The school is funded primarily from the support of all the parishioners of St. Francis Xavier Parish. There is no tuition charged to registered members of our parish. However, parents are encouraged to contribute to the school support as explained at the time of enrollment. Children of non-members will be charged an amount, as determined by the School Board from financial records, as the cost to the parish to educate a child.
The policies of St. Francis Xavier School are formulated by the School Board and implemented by the principal. The Board consists of six elected representatives along with the vice-president of the Home and School Association. The board representatives are elected for three-year terms by the parish. Regular meetings of the Board are held on the first Tuesday of each month in the Parish meeting room. All meetings are open to parishioners, but visitors may address the Board only after the Principal and/or Board President determines that the topic is appropriate for Bard consideration. A meeting agenda is prepared one week prior to the Board meeting.

The Home and School Association meets four times a year in St. Francis Xavier Hall on the third Tuesday of September, November, February, and April. Timely issues in education are usually addressed by a guest speaker. Fund-raising activities are also sponsored by this organization. Parental support and cooperation are greatly needed. Prior to the meetings an executive meeting of the officers is held. Suggestions for the agenda must be submitted to the principal or Home and School president in advance of the executive meeting.
