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

Lifetouch photographers will be on campus Thursday to take pictures of all students, including seniors, and staff for the current school ID card. Students must be dressed in school uniform.

Students and their families may apply for free and reduced lunch benefits. An English version of the application is available here. A Spanish version of the application is available here. You may return completed forms to Mrs. Pam Beckman in the DeLaSalle Cafe.

Students must apply for the lunch benefits each year, even if they qualified for the program in the previous school year. The deadline to apply is October 3.

A student or parent may deposit cash or check payment into a student’s cafeteria account in the Main Office at the school during normal business hours. If you are depositing money via check, please include the student’s last name and ID number in the check memo.

DeLaSalle has implemented a new system as part of our new building project that will better manage access to and within the school. Please note that, if you arrive to school after 8:30am, you may enter the first set of doors to the main entrance in the Albers Atrium but must buzz in to enter the school. As a reminder, students are not permitted to prop or open doors for outside visitors during the school day.

Seniors – If you created a website for History Day last year and would like to save your website, you need to convert it from a NHD Weebly website to regular Weebly website.

To do this, sign in to your account on nhd.weebly.com.  You will see a “Convert” button – click on this button to save your website to the regular weebly site. That’s all you need to do!  After September 1, all websites that remain on the NHD Weebly site will be deleted!
