This Annual tradition honoring St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, whose feast day is October 4th, brings together both school and parish families who bring their household pets to the school grotto for a blessing. (Pets must be leashed or in travel cases please!)

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.

    • 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.
