Staying Connected – April 23
Dear Parents and Students -
This spring has been especially fulfilling for those of us on campus. Fr McGarry reminded the faculty and staff at our meeting this morning that spring is always a time for us to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus together. In addition to the joy of recently being able to experience the Eucharist in the Chapel for the first time this year, I have rejoiced in the increase of students on campus during the school day as well as the swell of extracurricular activities that has injected new life into campus.

Transitioning to Full Reintegration - post spring break structure will prepare Jesuit for fall 2021.
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends:
In last week’s Staying Connected, I announced our intention to return to a full five-day, on-campus school week for the 2021-2022 school year. As we move toward this full reintegration for the fall, there are steps that need to be taken now to get us to that point.
Staying Connected – Mar 26
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends:
As we enter the final quarter of this unprecedented school year, we are shifting our focus now to the planning of our end-of-year events and the return of more activities, reflecting our county’s move into the red tier. We do this as we continue to provide in-person instruction for all students in the safest manner possible.
Staying Connected – Mar 19
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends:
We hope you will be able to join us for our biggest “Party for a Purpose,” the 49th Annual Jesuit Auction, Saturday, March 27. This vital school tradition is not only our biggest fundraiser but the biggest social event!
There are plenty of ways to participate—from an in-person Preview Party on Friday to Saturday’s virtual fun on social media, complete with an Auction Kickoff Show.

One year later
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends:
As we post this, our nation has been in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic for more than a year. Today marks the day in 2020 on which we informed you that our school campus would close and we would shift to digital learning.
Throughout this past year, our country has experienced fear, anxiety, isolation, confusion, heartbreak and loss due to this devastating virus. We pray for those who have died because of COVID-19 and for their loved ones who mourn and grieve.
Staying Connected – Mar 5

Important upcoming deadlines, events and protocols — plus next week’s at-a-glance bell schedule.
Staying Connected – Jan 29
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff,
As many in our Sacramento region are cleaning up from the storms, so is Jesuit High School. Our Building and Grounds team has been caring for the campus non-stop on our 56 acres since dawn on Wednesday so we are prepared to welcome you back to campus. Today’s Staying Connected update is a bit of “housekeeping,” too, with reminders and announcements of some upcoming events.
Staying Connected – Jan 22
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff,
This last week has been full of the joy and life that we have been working so hard to provide for the last six months. Approximately 600 people were tested for each screening cycle in the most efficient and seamless process to date. Integrating this process into the daily experience has provided a layer of safety that our teachers, staff, students, and parents have come to appreciate. The screening program, combined with the other virus mitigation protocols, has allowed Jesuit to invite any student who chooses to return to campus to be able to do so five days each week.
Staying Connected – Jan 16
Special schedule next week - Monday holiday
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff,
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” – Matthew 18:20
One of my greatest joys is developing relationships with the students, parents, faculty, and staff at Jesuit.
Special Testing Message
For those that missed the on-campus drive through PCR test
If you are receiving this message, Jesuit has noted that you are currently distance learning for one of two reasons:
- Family Choice to Distance Learn: Many of you have proactively made the choice to have your student remain home and Distance Learn, and we will continue to support you as we move further into the second semester. If at a future time you wish your student to return to campus, please contact Meghan Blees for information on when the next Return to Campus Orientation will be held.
- Student Missed PCR Test: You missed or chose, at that time, not to participate in the all-school drive-through PCR testing opportunity and would like an opportunity to return to campus without waiting the additional two weeks.
