Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
Lord we give you this day and all that is in it. Please go before us. Help us to remember to make time, to take in the beauty that surrounds us. May we take pleasure in simple moments and small victories. Amen.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

DeLaSalle families may now apply for financial aid for the 2019-20 school year through Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS). To receive full consideration for many of the scholarship programs, families of new students are encouraged to apply by Friday, February 15 and all families have until Monday, February 25 to apply. With the help of TADS’s financial analysis, DeLaSalle makes all financial aid decisions and includes all known financial aid grants and Presidential Scholarships, as applicable, on a family’s tuition agreement.
TADS will process all financial aid applications, using filed 2018 federal tax returns. TADS accepts, as they always have, copies of documents which families file. You may always contact the TADS Helpline at 1-800-884-8237.
