Hello St. Francis Xavier School families!  We hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer with your families.  Just a few items to keep on your radar for the first days of school:

2024-2025 Parent/Student Handbook has been posted for review in the FACTS Family Portal.

Summer reading and work packets should be completed and can be brought on the first day of school:  Click the link here to be taken to our website:  https://www.sfxacushnet.com/summer-packets/ and communicate any issues directly with the teacher.

School supply lists are also posted on that same page of our website for Preschool-Grade 8.

• Parents may drop off the common/shared school supplies (paper towels, tissues, wipes, etc) to lighten the load for the first day of school.
  • Preschool parents should bring their supplies  to the Preschool Orientation on Aug 20th at 6pm.
  • K-8 parents should bring their supplies to the Meet-the-Teacher/Supply Drop-off night on Aug 26th between 3-5pm and can drop them off directly in the classroom.  Just be sure to clearly label supplies with the child’s name and grade.
