The DeLaSalle Business Office has emailed 2015-16 Tuition
Agreements to almost all fully registered DeLaSalle families.
(If you are among the few not to receive your agreement, it’s
likely that you did not complete registration or your TADS
acpplication is still not complete). Thank you to the many
families who have already accepted their agreement and set
up payment terms with the school. All parents and guardians
are asked to respond to our Business Office by following the
instructions on the agreement, selecting a payment option,
and electronically signing your acceptance.
We request a response from
all families as soon as possible,
especially if your family wishes to begin
payments in early May. Please contact
Mr. Ron Rice in the Business Office
at 612.676.7601 with any questions or
concerns regarding tuition agreements

DeLaSalle Conducts Tornado Drill
On Thursday, April 16, as part of Severe Weather Awareness
Week, DeLaSalle conducted a tornado drill. Each teacher led
students out of their classroom and to the lowest corridor
of the building they were in. Students sat on the floor away
from glass windows or display cases, with their heads tucked
down, awaiting further instructions. Tornado drills, like the
one this week, give the DeLaSalle community an opportunity
to prepare should we face an actual emergency. You can read
DeLaSalle’s protocol in responding to fires and tornadoes on
page 26 of the Student-Parent Handbook.
