Student Schedules
for Fall 2020
We are actively engaged in building our Master Schedule. Based on the work gathering course requests our counselors performed with students this spring, we are building a schedule that will accommodate all of our student’s college prep needs and hopefully address all of their requests. Schedules will be available to our students and their families during the first week of July. An email will be sent notifying families of the available schedule in PowerSchool and will include instructions on how to request schedule changes if necessary.

Show and tell us about your service from home
Due April 20, 2020
Serve from Home
Ignatian Spirituality invites us to notice where God is at work in our daily lives. While we are under the Shelter-in-Place ordinance, how do you find yourselves responding to the invitation to be of service where you are? How have you experienced sheltering-in-place as an act of service in and of itself, in that you are caring for the common good and acting in solidarity with neighbors around the world? How are you of support to your family?

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.
Prayer & Examen from our students
Student led by our Liturgy Workshop on YouTube
During this time while we are apart, Grant Houle ’20, the religious coordinator, and Jonathan Fong ’20, the diocesan pastoral council student representative will be sharing a video daily prayer and examen beginning Monday, March 30, 2020.
Tips to Train From Home
In response to the current school closure, the Jesuit Sports Performance Team is committed to providing guidance and support not only to our students-athletes, but the entire school community while campus is closed. Physical and mental well-being is not something to be taken for granted, therefore we will continue to reference the current research and employ standard practices to provide the very best health advice. All current research supports this balanced, minimalistic protocol for promoting comprehensive wellness and basic human performance.
