NEW: Grandparent Mass Information
Wednesday, April 19, we will be celebrating Grandparents Mass at Xavier. The social and refreshments begin at 8:00 a.m. with a program to begin at 9:15 a.m. Mass and the livestream will begin at 9:50 a.m. The livestream can be viewed at XavierSaints.org/Grandparents.
 
For grandparents attending in-person, parking is available in the lot west of the high school, or in the lot on the south side of the building (facing 42nd Street).
 
School day reminders:

  • This is a regular dress code day.
  • Students whose grandparents are joining us will be released from second block to meet their grandparents. 
  • Classes will resume after mass. This will be a full day of school with 1:45 p.m. Wednesday dismissal.
  • In the past, grandparents have enjoyed taking their grandchildren for lunch after Mass. Parents are asked to communicate with the main office by Wednesday morning to let us know if your student will be dismissed after Mass. Please email info@xaviersaints.org.
  • Students not attending lunch with their grandparents will return to class and are not excused to leave early.
NEW: Grant Wood AEA Hearing Testing
Grant Wood AEA will be providing their annual hearing testing at Xavier the morning of Friday April 28th.  Students at Xavier are tested only if there is a known history of hearing loss or if they are new to Xavier Catholic School System. If your student does not meet that criteria and you have hearing concerns and want them screened, please contact Kris Naeve at 294-6635 Ext 318 or email at kris.naeve@xaviersaints.org for a consent form to have your child screened. If you have a student with known hearing loss, history of ear problems, or if your student is new to the Xavier Catholic School System with a history of hearing loss and you do not want their hearing tested, you need to indicate in writing to Kris Naeve at Xavier High School. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school nurse.
