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

Lord God, we thank You that You have revealed life in Jesus Christ. Grant that we may enter this life through the grace You have given us to recognize Jesus Christ as our Lord, to believe in Him, and to hope for all the good still to come as the fruit of His suffering and resurrection.Amen

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

Advanced Placement exams, which offer DeLaSalle students the opportunity to earn college credit by showing their mastery of college-level material, continue this week. DeLaSalle has already held nine AP exams; remaining exams are scheduled May 13-15 in Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, and English Language. The exam schedule is available here. Students who missed their AP test due to emergency circumstances, unforeseen circumstances or school related activities may be able to take their exam in the late testing period. These students should check with Ms. Stacey Carter in the Guidance office (B102) to order their late AP exam before 12:00pm on Thursday, May 16.

Seniors will take final exams on Thursday, May 16 and Friday, May 17, and be released from school after finals, assuming there are no missed or unscheduled days off in the last semester. Exams will be held in periods 1, 2, 3, and 4 on Thursday and in periods 5, 6, 7, and 8 on Friday. Seniors are excused from the first four class periods on Friday.

Have you ever been stressed? Do you know of ways to cope with stress? Health classes at DeLaSalle have investigated stress and how to cope with your stress. The Health students want to share their findings with the school. Click here to learn more about stress and stress management.

Join the Political Affairs club! We offer a safe environment for students to exchange opinions and dialogue with each other about a range of current events and topics. The club meets Thursdays from 3:15-4:15pm in D104. This weeks topic is Feminism and how it is needed in 2019 in the US. All are welcome!

The DeLaSalle O.N.Y.X. Step Team will be showcasing their 2019 step routine on Thursday, May 16, at 6:30pm. The performance will last about 10 minutes and will take place in the Florence Center. Everyone is welcome to attend.

This summer DeLaSalle will refresh the devices for its IslePad one-to-one program with the purchase of new iPads.  Based on feedback from students and faculty, the new devices will include a keyboard with a rugged case. As part of this transition, DeLaSalle is offering students the opportunity to purchase their current iPad Air for $100.00 from May 3rd through May 17th.  This purchase price includes the case and charger that is currently assigned to the student. Please find the iPad Purchase Form here.

Devices that are not purchased will need to be returned on the last day of classes.  Charges will be incurred for any damage to the device or charger.

All Seniors are required to go through the end of the year iPad checkout process, even if they are purchasing their iPads, on Friday, May 17 between 3:00 – 4:00pm in D104. Students may turn in their iPad early to the Tech Office during lunch on Friday, May 17, if they no longer need it for testing during the periods after lunch. Students must allow at least 30 minutes for the iPad return process.

Students who are purchasing their device must bring their device to the checkout process and go through the required steps. Until this happens, their device will not be taken out of the Mobile Device Management and still be under DeLaSalle’s control.

The form can be found in the Islanders Course in Canvas under Technology.

If you have gently-used uniform items that you would like to donate to the loaner closet, please bring them to the Administration Office D-200 at any time. Donations can be dropped off throughout the summer as well. Future generations of Islanders thank you!

Attention Seniors: Come celebrate your last day of school on Friday with a water balloon fight between staff and seniors. Any senior who is interested should gather on the athletic field right after school – no sign up needed! The battle will begin around 3:45pm. The staff is ready and they hope you are too!

The Student Council will host “DeChella”, an end of the year celebration for students, on Friday, May 17, from 3:00-10:00pm. The event includes a talent show at 5:00pm in the LL Grey Gym. DeChella also features a dunk tank and 9 square in the sky, as well as other yard and carnival games on the Athletic Field. There will be a movie at 7:30pm in LL Gray Gym and a bonfire on the plaza. The Parent Association will grill and have hot dogs and other food available for purchase.

No yearbooks will be distributed before De-Chella. There are still yearbooks available to purchase. Please see Ms. Bryson-Tucker in the IT Office or email yearbook@delasalle.com for more information.

Attention 9th graders: Mark your calendars for Monday, May 20 after-school! All 9th graders are invited to go bowling at Elsie’s and then come back to school for pizza and a discussion on how to get ready for finals. More details to follow.
