Hello, St. Francis Xavier School Families! We hope you are well! 

Please note at this time, New York City has raised the COVID-19 alert to HIGH.  Health officials strongly recommend wearing masks in public indoor settings.  Health officials say there is high community spread, and pressure on the healthcare system is increasing.  Individuals are strongly encouraged to wear masks when indoors and in a public setting, including at grocery stores, and other common or shared spaces where individuals may interact, such as restrooms, hallways, elevators, and meeting rooms.

Kindergarten through Grade 8 Report Cards were distributed electronically through TADsEducate at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13.  If you experience any difficulty accessing your child’s report card, please email Mrs. Blandino at marieblandino@sfxschool.net

Gentle Reminder—Wearing Summer Uniforms began on Monday, May 2.  Please go to
Liebman's Uniforms for your child’s uniform needs.  Please be sure your child is wearing uniform regulation shoes. Sneakers are NOT uniform regulation.

Dress in Layers
Please be sure your child is dressed in layers every day.  We are required to keep windows and doors open and to have the ventilation fan on, which can make the classroom chilly.  Dressing in layers ensures your child is comfortable throughout the school day.
