COVID-19 Protocols & Procedures

How will families and staff be notified if a student or school staff member tests positive for COVID-19?

If your student is designated as a “close contact,” you will be contacted by the school and/or your local health department. Included in this communication will be guidelines for quarantining and monitoring your student for symptoms.

The Xavier System will also use our COVID-19 Daily Dashboard and System-wide communications to update families on situations that impact the Xavier community. 

Families are encouraged to review and update their contact information and preferences in SwiftK12 (our emergency notification system) via PowerSchool. Directions for updating your contact information and preferences in PowerSchool are included in:

Updating Your Contact Information in SwiftK12

If you have problems with accessing your PowerSchool account, pleases contact your student’s school office or Sonja Giesen, Xavier Technology Support, at: sgiesen@xaviercatholicschools.org

This data is intended to provide a snapshot of the number of students and staff out of school due to positive COVID-19 cases at a specific point in time. When students and staff have completed their quarantine and return to school, they are deducted from this data.  We will continue to work with the local health departments to complete contact tracing. If your child had close contact with a person with COVID-19, you will receive notification from us or from your local health department with special instructions about quarantining, monitoring symptoms, testing, and minimizing risk to your family.
