St. Pius X School generally follows the Cedar Rapids Community School District regarding school closings due to inclement weather. Do not call the church, rectory or school. Local television and radio stations (on the air and/or on their websites) will provide the official announcements. Decisions for the "Xavier Catholic Schools" apply to all Catholic schools - including St. Pius X Elementary. We will not specifically be named. If weather becomes severe during the day necessitating early dismissal, that announcement will also be made by the television and radio stations (on the air and/or on their web sites).
Parents are strongly encouraged to be aware of the possibility of an early dismissal and make arrangements to provide transportation for their children promptly at the time of early dismissal.
The school offers drop-in child care for students on days that school is delayed or canceled due to inclement weather for those enrolled in Panther Playhouse.
