Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

God, as these final weeks of summer wind down, may I continue to enjoy time with family and friends, while starting to mentally prepare myself for a new school year. Amen

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

 

2015-16 parking permits are sold out. That means sophomores may not purchase a permit on Thursday, Aug. 20, as originally announced. Students may park – at their own expense – in the Mintahoe parking lot or other area parking ramps. Students unable to purchase a parking permit may consider using public or school bus transportation to commute to and from DeLaSalle. Click here to learn about other transportation options. 

School orientation sessions are underway – and all students, along with a parent/guardian, are required to attend at least one session before school starts. At orientation, students will receive a new iPad Air and we will share important school updates.

If you have not registered: Please look in your email for a message from support@delasalle.com with a registration link. If you have more than one child at DeLaSalle, you will receive an individual email for each one. Simply click the link in each message and sign your child up. Only two sessions are left:

  • Tuesday, August 11, 9:00am
  • Thursday, August 20, 6:00pm

Before your orientation session, we will ask you to complete some required information that must be updated annually. You may find all required forms here.

Students who want to participate in a fall activity should note these key dates, make sure a current physical is on file (current is defined as within the last three years), and complete required MSHSL paperwork, including an Eligibility Statement. Please return doctor-completed physical forms to DeLaSalle and clearly mark “Student Physical” on the envelope.
