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

God, make us yearn for true greatness in our midst – for those who actually serve your kingdom with all their heart and all their might. Amen

Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

DeLaSalle hosts its second Open House for Prospective Students tomorrow at 7:00pm. So that we can clean our school for our visitors, we ask that you leave school immediately after the last bell at 3:00pm. Thank you for your cooperation.

There are no classes Thursday as staff will participate in an all-day professional development. Another all-day professional development is scheduled on Tuesday, April 18, which extends the Easter break by one day.

Students, you will meet with your academic mentor on Friday after first period. The meeting is s chance to review the first semester and check in on how the second semester is going. Please bring coursework to work on while you are not meeting individually with your mentor.

DeLaSalle and 301 on Main have reached an agreement that will allow students to park in the event center’s parking lot during school days. The parking lot is located at 301 NE Main Street. Students must purchase a parking permit in order to park in the lot. Permits cost $110 and are sold in the Business Office.

These supplemental permits are specifically numbered and assigned to the buyer and are for the parking lot at 301 on Main ONLY. These permits are NOT valid in any of the DeLaSalle parking areas during the school day. Students MUST remove their vehicle from the 301 on Main parking lot by 5:00pm each day or risk being towed by building management.

DeLaSalle will provide shuttle bus service each day between the 301 on Main parking lot and the school, starting today. The morning shuttle will leave the parking lot at approximately 8:15am. The afternoon shuttle will leave from the front of DeLaSalle at 3:15pm.

Do you have a teacher who has inspired you and who you think should be recognized? Barnes & Noble is currently accepting nominations for these teachers. Students write an essay, poem, or thank you letter describing their favorite teacher and how that person has influenced and inspired them. Click here for an entry form. Judges will choose the winning teacher and recognize both the teacher and the student at a special ceremony at our store during spring Educator Appreciation Days. Ms. Bryson-Tucker will collect entries until February 22 and then submit them.
