How to drop off your Titan!

Every student will be dropped off via car line. Parents are not allowed in our school building right now. 

1. Join car line along the painted red curb from Park Way or Walker Road.
2. Pull all the way to the front of the line by the gym door.
3. Wait for HT staff to take your student's temperature. A fever is considered is 100.4 and above.
4. Confirm that your student has not experienced any symptoms or exposure according to these CDC questions. Students will be given a laminated copy of these questions on their first day.
5. Say 'goodbye and love you' and a little prayer. We will take care of them from door to door!
6. Students will enter the school through different doors to minimize traffic and exposure. See the map below. Teachers will be stationed all over to guide students, ensure masks/face shield are on and provide hand sanitizer.

How to pick up a Titan!

Students will stay in their classrooms until you get to the front of car line. Parents are not allowed to mingle in front of the school doors for pick up.​

1. Join car line along the painted red curb from Park Way or Walker Road.
2. HT Staff will ask who you are picking up and call into the office.
3. Your student will exit through the main school doors and go straight to your car.

This week we will send home bright paper for you to write your last name and grade level(s). If you display this in your windshield, our pick up line with go much smoother.

Fall Math from Jesuit HS

Jesuit High School is hosting two Autumn Session math classes that Jesuit will offer on Saturdays, beginning September 12.

• Solving for X: Rates, Ratios, & Proportions will review multiplication and division of fractions and apply these concepts to rates, ratios, and proportions. It is most appropriate for advanced 5th grade math students, grade level 6th grade students, and 7th grade students who would like to review basic skills.
• Geometry Part 1 is most appropriate for students currently enrolled in a year-long algebra class and who do not have access to a full geometry course at their school.

 Jesuit's Autumn Session math courses aim to enhance students' success in their regular math classes and to explore math beyond what is covered in the standard curriculum. They do not replace a student's regular math class. More information is available on our Autumn Session web page.
