Change in COVID-19 Isolation Recommendations | |
Iowa Health and Human Services has provided an update on the guidance for COVID-19 isolation recommendations. This can be found in the document included below, but can be summarized by saying that COVID-19 is now treated as any other respiratory illness. The recommendation for those with respiratory symptoms is to be excluded from school and child care settings until fever-free (<100.4) for 24 hours without the use of a fever reducing medication AND respiratory symptoms are mild and improving.

Action Item: Grandparents Mass 2024: Parents, Please RSVP | |
Xavier will be holding our Annual Grandparents Mass on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 9:50 AM. All grandparents are invited to attend the Mass with their grandchild(ren). This year we are asking parents to RSVP the total number of grandparents attending for your child. We will then mail them an invitation with the details, but grandparents will not need to RSVP themselves. Even if your grandparents cannot attend in person, please complete this form so that we may send them information about how to find the mass online and thank them for their support.
Once you have a total number of attendees determined, please click here to RSVP for them by Friday, March 1st. If you have any that are uncertain, please add them as a "yes". We'd rather plan for too many than too few!
