Some teachers may choose to use Google Classroom to communicate and distribute materials. Other online resources for taking quizzes and assessments may also be required and will be discussed at the orientation session. Each teacher will provide instruction about how to use any required platform. Students are responsible for all information communicated using these platforms. Please review the syllabus provided by the teacher for more information.

Incoming freshman students are encouraged to consider the Jesuit Prep class – formerly known as The Marauder Seminar. This class is a great fit for any student who will start at Jesuit in the fall of 2026. During this class, the students will begin the summer required reading assignment including taking proper notes, exploring the important plot points, character development and new vocabulary. This helps take the pressure of students AND parents to get this assignment started and help get ready for the exam in the fall. Students will meet and get to know some of the other students who will become their classmates in the fall – starting some of those life-long friendships that they’ll always remember. Students will become more comfortable and ready to start their classes in the fall by getting to know some of their new teachers and expectations as members of the class of 2028. Students will work on organization, proper study habits, and personal accountability. They’ll become familiar with how technology is utilized on campus including how Google Classroom is used to communicate with teachers and how assignments are posted. They’ll review and reinforce important math concepts that they will build on during their career at Jesuit and in college. All of this is geared to make your son’s transition to Jesuit smooth, successful and less stressful. This class runs from Monday, June 10th through Friday, June 28th from 8:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

Most courses require a traditional (paper) textbook or ebook. The textbook list is available by clicking here and will be emailed out to families who have already registered for a high school level academic course.  In classes where an ebook is required, students will need to bring their own tablet or other electronic device to access the material while on campus in class. Please note: accessing an ebook on a smart phone in class will not be acceptable. Each student will be provided with access to wifi on campus. Traditional (paper) textbooks should be purchased using the online vendor of your choice. Be sure to search for the ISBN number for the required book(s) to be sure that the correct item is purchased. Students are required to have the textbook or ebook in their possession for the first day of class. Please be careful to pay attention to shipping times and order processing times when ordering textbooks. Some websites may show a rapid shipping time but may not mention a 7-10 day order processing time. Some used copies of textbooks may be available. We do our best to minimize costs whenever possible. Jesuit High School does not provide the textbooks for Summer courses.

Yes. Students will be required to access Google Classroom, their Jesuit assigned email account and other online resources. Some classes will require an ebook and other classes may require a traditional (paper) textbook. If an ebook is required, students will need to access this resource during class and after school for homework and assignments. For ebooks, a smartphone will not be sufficient. Each student will be given access to the wireless internet service on Jesuit’s campus.

Students are allowed a maximum of 2 absences total for a full year course (1 day between 6/10/26 and 6/29/26 and 1 day between 6/30/26 and 7/17/25.) If a student is going to be absent or late to school, the parent should call the attendance line (916) 480-2135 and leave a message by 9:00AM to report the absence or tardy. If a student is absent and the parent has not reported the absence, the parent will receive a phone message to help ensure that they are aware of the absence.

If a family anticipates a future absence, parents should contact the Office for Summer Programs first. Refer to the class syllabus for the teacher’s policies regarding make-up work related to absences. The teacher’s contact information via email will be listed in the class syllabus as well.

Families are STRONGLY encouraged to carefully consider the amount of work required and time commitment including 2-5 hours or more of homework each day depending on the student’s academic performance and organizational skills.

Due to the time constraints presented by the short duration of our summer courses are only able to offer extended time testing for final exams to those students who submit their IEP or 504 documentation in advance. Other accommodations are just not possible to provide under these circumstances. Documents should be uploaded to the student’s profile in the registration portal PRIOR to the first day of classes (June 10, 2026.). Please contact the Office for Summer Programs well in advance of the first day of classes to explore available accommodations. Accommodations are granted at the discretion of the Director for Summer Programs and the Assistant Principal for Academics.

Yes. There will be assessments throughout the course including a final exam each semester. Teachers will specify in their syllabus any expectations for testing.

All credit courses will use a standard grading system. Classes are broken up into two semesters. Semester One will run from 6/10/26 to 6/29/26 with the semester 1 final exam on Monday, 6/29/26. Semester Two will run from 6/30/26 to 7/17/25. the second semester final exam is given on Friday, 7/17/26. A letter grade is issued for each semester (semester 1 and semester 2 separately) and is listed on the student’s transcript as two separate grades. There is not a pass/fail option. Grade reports are sent at the quarter and semester via email to the student and the parent.

Teachers will have some limited office hours after school to help students with questions and challenging concepts. Please see the teacher’s syllabus for more information. We are not permitted to make recommendations for outside tutoring resources for safety reasons.
