Family Choice – On campus or Distance Learning
Jesuit Sacramento understands the uncertainty of doing a weekly screening and the many details this program involves, along with the strict virus mitigation practices while on campus, mean that some families will choose to remain in distance learning. We respect and understand this decision. We also know that distance learning for some students and their families has been very difficult and a return to campus, even for two days a week, will be a major benefit academically and for their overall wellness. As we work through these logistics and experience our phased return to school, we realize some families may choose to return to distance learning and others may decide later to attend in person. Students may exercise this freedom if they have completed their initial screening and training.
Catholic Voter Resources
Voting is an Act of Love
“‘Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.’
These powerful words from St. Ignatius of Loyola remind us that casting a ballot can be an act of love—a way to live out the greatest commandments, to love and serve God and to love our neighbor. This fall, exercise the right and responsibility to vote for candidates and issues that support the common good and concern for the most vulnerable people in our society” (Ignatian Solidarity Network).

An optional letter writing opportunity to help others in isolation
Given the current need for social distancing, many people are experiencing isolation in new, deeper ways. For people who were already isolated, this social distancing can be especially painful.
To respond to this reality, we will be inviting our students to engage in an optional service opportunity by writing a letter to a client or resident (or multiple clients or residents) at one of several non-profit agencies and programs.

All current research supports this balanced, minimalistic protocol for promoting comprehensive wellness and basic human performance.
