A back-to-school update and "tool kit"
Parents and Friends,
The excitement for the start of the 2021-22 school year is growing, and our planning for the opening of school is nearly finalized. I am pleased to report that our staffing is fully complete. With several new faculty and support staff joining us next month, the physical campus is getting its final touches for our full return. The enhancements to our many programs are being finalized. As we have stated before, we are confident that Jesuit High School will emerge from the experience of the last 17 months stronger than before.

Staying Connected – April 23
Dear Parents and Students -
This spring has been especially fulfilling for those of us on campus. Fr McGarry reminded the faculty and staff at our meeting this morning that spring is always a time for us to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus together. In addition to the joy of recently being able to experience the Eucharist in the Chapel for the first time this year, I have rejoiced in the increase of students on campus during the school day as well as the swell of extracurricular activities that has injected new life into campus.

Transitioning to Full Reintegration - post spring break structure will prepare Jesuit for fall 2021.
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends:
In last week’s Staying Connected, I announced our intention to return to a full five-day, on-campus school week for the 2021-2022 school year. As we move toward this full reintegration for the fall, there are steps that need to be taken now to get us to that point.

Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends:
As we enter the final quarter of this unprecedented school year, we are shifting our focus now to the planning of our end-of-year events and the return of more activities, reflecting our county’s move into the red tier. We do this as we continue to provide in-person instruction for all students in the safest manner possible.

Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends:

One year later
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends:
As we post this, our nation has been in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic for more than a year. Today marks the day in 2020 on which we informed you that our school campus would close and we would shift to digital learning.
Throughout this past year, our country has experienced fear, anxiety, isolation, confusion, heartbreak and loss due to this devastating virus. We pray for those who have died because of COVID-19 and for their loved ones who mourn and grieve.
Staying Connected – Mar 5

Important upcoming deadlines, events and protocols — plus next week’s at-a-glance bell schedule.
Staying Connected – Jan 29
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff,
As many in our Sacramento region are cleaning up from the storms, so is Jesuit High School. Our Building and Grounds team has been caring for the campus non-stop on our 56 acres since dawn on Wednesday so we are prepared to welcome you back to campus. Today’s Staying Connected update is a bit of “housekeeping,” too, with reminders and announcements of some upcoming events.
Staying Connected – Jan 22
Dear Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff,
This last week has been full of the joy and life that we have been working so hard to provide for the last six months. Approximately 600 people were tested for each screening cycle in the most efficient and seamless process to date. Integrating this process into the daily experience has provided a layer of safety that our teachers, staff, students, and parents have come to appreciate. The screening program, combined with the other virus mitigation protocols, has allowed Jesuit to invite any student who chooses to return to campus to be able to do so five days each week.
