Calendar FAQs
Collaboration periods for students include assemblies, class Masses, and group meetings with counselors.

How to Request a Meeting with a Teacher, Coach, or Administrator
It is Jesuit High School’s policy to follow a protocol for meetings to resolve issues or address concerns. Should a parent wish to set up a meeting in this regard, the school’s policy for meetings is as follows:
Contact the faculty member or coach directly to set up a mutually agreeable time;
If, at the conclusion of that meeting, the parent concerns have not fully been addressed, the parent should contact the Department Chair (for an academic issue) or the Head Coach of the sport in question (if it is an athletic issue);
If the issue remains unresolved, contact the Assistant Principal who supervises the academic department in question or, if an athletic concern, schedule a meeting with the Athletic Director.
If the preceding steps have failed to resolve the parent’s concern, the Executive Assistant to the Principal should be contacted for an appointment with the Principal. The phone number for that office is 916-480-2122.
Please refer to the “Chain of Care” section of the Student Parent Handbook for information.
