Bins will be available for you to recycle papers and dispose of any other unnecessary items. You must see a teacher or staff member to make sure that your name is checked off of a spreadsheet on their iPad. You may then carry your backpack with you to your 8th hour class. You must also take your combination lock with you. Please see Ms. Weeks with any questions.

Final exams begin tomorrow and continue on Thursday and Friday. Please click here for the final exam schedule. Morning transportation routes will run as normal on all three days. Afternoon transportation routes will leave DeLaSalle at 12:15pm each day.

Students will return their school-issued iPad on Friday. Most students will return their iPad after their 6th hour final. You may turn in your iPad early to the LTC Help Desk before your last final if you no longer need it. Freshmen should report to the Main Gym, sophomores to the LL Gray Gym, and juniors to the Florance Center.

All students must turn in their school issued iPad with the school issued iPad case. The iPad Return Checklist must be completed, signed by a parent/guardian, and turned in with the iPad on Friday. It is important to note that you will be charged the deductible/repair cost for broken devices as well as replacement cost for any missing items. Families that chose the Deposit Protection Plan will be charged for all damages to the iPad and accessories not covered under warranty. If you are not returning to DeLaSalle for the 2016­2017 school year, you must turn in your charging/sync cable and power adapter.

In summary, bring the following to the assigned area between 11:00am ­ 12:30pm on Friday:
