Travel Over Break

A note regarding travel

The California Department of Public Health’s travel advisory due to COVID-19 recommends all persons to avoid non-essential travel to any part of California more than 120 miles from one’s place of residence, or to other states or countries. All persons arriving in or returning to California from other states or countries are advised to self-quarantine for 10 days after their arrival. 

Please be mindful that while Jesuit is not mandating travel restrictions, Jesuit’s Safe Return Plan is predicated on following recommended guidelines minimizing risk to the entire community. If you choose to travel, please thoughtfully consider keeping your son in distance learning upon his return for one week, and have him participate in the weekly antigen screening at the start of the following screening cycle.

Key safety terms to know
Learn the Three Levels: Shelter-in-Place, Lock Down, Threat on Campus

The following are some key terms for us all to be familiar with in case of an on-campus emergency or an event in the vicinity of campus

Shelter-in-Place

The lowest level of emergency. Students, faculty, and staff are instructed to stay inside, close and lock doors and windows as a precaution, continue to conduct business as usual in the classroom, and follow the instructions given via the PA announcements. 

Lock Down

An incident that requires a higher level of safety than “Shelter-in-Place” with events in close proximity to campus or on campus. Students, faculty, and staff are instructed to stop all class activity and secure the classroom. Please note that a “Lock Down” does not necessarily signal an immediate, active threat to campus like an “active assailant” incident. Everyone should remain calm in a secure location and follow the instructions given via the PA announcements. 

Assailant/Shooter/Threat on campus

The highest level threat in response to an incident that is on campus. Reactions should be based on Run / Hide / Fight protocol. An alert may be initiated through our PA system or a real time reaction based on a visible or audible threat.

Return to In-Person Service
Students still welcome to complete requirements virtually/remotely

With Sacramento County’s move to the Red Tier and the hybrid resumption of in-person classes at Jesuit High School, Jesuit High School students engaging in Service and Justice Programming can engage in in-person service activities at pre-approved agencies where students are welcomed by the agency as volunteers. Please note that students are still welcome to complete their Service and Justice requirement entirely through virtual and remote opportunities. No in-person service is required or expected for the 2020-2021 school year.

A Parent’s Prayer

I pray that I may let my child live his own life and not the one I wish I had lived.  Therefore, guard me against burdening him with doing what I failed to do. 

Help me to see his missteps today in perspective against the long road he must travel, and grant me the grace to be patient with his sometimes slow pace. 

Give me the wisdom to know when to smile at the small mischiefs of his age and when to show firmness against the impulses he fears and cannot handle.

Morning Prayers & Examens
Student led by our Campus Ministry Core Team on YouTube

Morning prayers and the Examen started online with the coordination of two seniors. Carlo Pedroncelli ’21 coordinated and posted the morning video prayers, and Donovan Jasper ’21 coordinated and posted the video Examen. When we started back to school in the hybrid model, students began leading the prayers over the P.A. system. (If you are interested in leading morning prayer or the Examen, please contact the Campus Ministry Team.) Every Monday morning we announce a challenge for the week based on the profile of the Graduate at Graduation. During the Examen on Fridays we reflect on how we have done toward that challenge and end by praying: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.  In this time of uncertainty and change, this can be a life-giving prayer for us to pray weekly or maybe even daily in our own prayer lives.

Campus Security: Pick-up and Drop-off Procedures
Please take note of these important procedures for picking-up and dropping-off during the school day.

If you need to pick-up or drop-off an item for your son during the school day, please do so on Jacob Lane through the Dean’s Office, and not from the Fair Oaks entrance near the Gym/Harris Center area. Our Campus Security Team works hard to identify people who are coming onto campus during the course of the school day and your attention to this drop-off/pick-up procedure will help them to maintain the safety of everyone on campus. If you would like to have your son come out to the car to pick-up an item so that you do not have to get out of the car, please have him check
