Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, our school’s dress code will begin following the system-wide dress code for all Xavier Catholic Schools.  Alignment of the student experience at all grade levels has been a priority since Xavier Catholic Schools became a school system in 2024. 

NOTE: 2024-2025 Dress Codes grandfathered In for 2025-2026  To give families the appropriate amount of time to plan, the dress codes in place for last school year (2024-2025) in our school will also be grandfathered in for the 2025-2026 school year. Students may wear apparel from our school’s dress code from last year OR the new XCS dress code.

Other volunteer opportunities are available to parents who have students participating in band, show choir, FTC, athletics (concessions), attending monthly Adoration, and helping in the lunchroom.

Our School’s Lunch Account Policy – 

It is the policy of Regis Middle School to offer nutritious meals to all students who desire them. Parents are notified of low balances via email starting at $20.00 account balances. In addition, Regis Food Service will call home to a family whose account reaches a $10.00 (or below) balance. Students who reach a $10.00 (or below) balance will receive verbal notification from the lunch staff upon check out to remind them of the low balance.  

Parent Email Notifications

Parent email addresses used for school email communication to parents are pulled from the Contact section of PowerSchool. It is important that only your primary email is entered in your parent information during PowerSchool Registration as this is the email that we will use for this communication. Please email [email protected] if another family member (in addition to father and mother) would like to receive this communication. We are continually working to streamline our communications to make them as applicable to as many of our families as possible, but appreciate your understanding in knowing that not every email may apply directly to you.

School Messenger – Instant Parent Contact

This year, our school will be using School Messenger, a system that syncs with PowerSchool to enable school personnel to notify all households and parents by text within minutes of an emergency or unplanned event which warrants parent notification. School Messenger is a company that specializes in school-to-parent communications. Our school (listed as our XCS system: “Cedar Rapids/Marion Xavier Catholic Schools”) will continue to report school closings due to snow or weather on the local radio, TV stations and social media and will use this system in addition to public announcements.  

School Website: https://regisroyals.org/

Our school will soon be transitioning to a new website. All Xavier Catholic Schools individual school websites will be found at the CRXCS.org website domain. Stay tuned for additional information on this.
