The Jacob Lane entrance gates will remain closed until classes begin at 9:45 am. If parents have a need to access the Main Office before school, please first check in with Lizzy Duran in the Business Office, located to the left of the bell tower; she will get a hold of the Main Office for you. If no one is at the front desk of the Business Office, please ring the bell for assistance.

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.

Order info
We have worked to provide a streamlined approach in directing you to online merchants from whom you may purchase your course materials. Rather than shopping around online at multiple merchant sites one by one, this link allows you to obtain the same results with just a few simple clicks. It eliminates the need to copy and paste multiple ISBNs over and over again into individual merchant sites in order to find the best deal.

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
