We applaud them for their outstanding achievement during their four years here and for their contributions to Xavier, to our community and to our world.

Reminder: Attendance as the Year Winds Down
As we get close to the end of the year, and particularly as we get close to finals for seniors, we ask for your help in doing all that you can to ensure that your students make every effort to attend classes throughout the remainder of the semester. While it may be difficult to decline a request from your student, particularly a senior student, to "call in" for them, we ask that you help us maintain a sense of academic purpose.
 
Despite what your student may tell you, there is no school approved "skip day" at any time during the year. We count on your partnership with us and on your integrity when faced with those requests from your students.
 
Thanks for all you do to help us ensure that your students stay focused on their studies!

Reminder: Concession Help Needed - Please Consider Signing Up
The craziness of spring activities is upon us. In the next 6 weeks, Xavier hosts 19 home games/meets that need volunteers to help staff the concession stand.
 
Grab your bestie, spouse or even your high school son or daughter and spend a few hours supporting Xavier High School. Various activities are assigned to work certain events but all volunteers can sign up to work regardless if their son/daughter is a part of that activity.
 
Many hands make light work.
