Summer Update from

XAVIER HIGH SCHOOL

JULY 31, 2025

Xavier email updates will only be sent on an as-needed basis over the summer. Starting with the school year, the majority of parent/guardian email communication will be included in the weekly Xavier Navigator e-newsletter.

NIGHTLY CLOSURE OF XAVIER HS PARKING LOTS

Dear XHS Families,

Over the course of the past few school years, we have communicated several times about the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful environment on our campus outside of regular school hours. The Xavier campus—including all parking lots—closes at 10:00 PM nightly, and students should not be present on school grounds after this time unless participating in a school-sanctioned activity, practice, or event.

Despite our past efforts (which include communication, posted signage, increased security patrols), we continue to observe instances of students gathering in school parking lots during late hours. We acknowledge that it is not always Xavier High School students gathering in our lots, nevertheless it is important that our grounds are secured.

Xavier High School will now close and secure all parking lots each evening. The lots will be closed using the newly-installed traffic barrier arm gates at both entrances. Our initial plan is to close the lots at approximately 10:00 PM nightly and re-open them at 5:00 AM. We will continue to evaluate this plan as we move forward.

Vehicles in the lots after the arms are down will always be able to exit the lot. Vehicles will not be able to enter the lot though.

Coaches/moderators/directors of students who return late from school sanctioned activities will open the parking lots so buses/vans can enter. 

We are asking all families to support this measure by reminding students that:

• No one should be on Xavier grounds after 10:00 PM unless part of a supervised, school-approved activity.
• Any individual found on campus after hours for unsanctioned purposes is subject to a trespassing violation.
• Use of any Xavier facility requires direct supervision by a Xavier-approved moderator or certified coach.
• Some facilities may be unavailable during the summer due to maintenance—please observe all posted signage regarding closures.
• A reminder that the Xavier campus remains closed this week during Family/Non-Contact Week or “Dead Week” (July 27-Aug. 2).

We appreciate your ongoing cooperation and support as we work together to maintain a safe, secure and respectful campus. If you have any questions, please reach out to XHS administration.
