📬 Important Updates & Information Inside!

🚦 Carline Safety Reminder – No Right Turns or U-Turns 🚦

Families, we must strictly follow carline procedures for everyone’s safety. There are to be NO right turns into carline and absolutely NO U-turns on the main road. We received a direct notification from the Sheriff’s Office that families have been making U-turns, and this is not permitted and could result in citations.
All vehicles must enter carline either:
  • From Commerce Park → Techster
  • Or from Daniels Drive
Please take a moment to review the map and reminders below to ensure we are all doing our part to keep traffic safe, legal, and flowing smoothly.

food lunches

🥪 Lunch Reminder – No Heating Available 🥪

Please remember that students are not permitted to heat up food or lunches at school. All lunches brought from home must be ready-to-eat and do not require heating.

If this is not possible, families are encouraged to purchase the school lunch option instead. This ensures students have a safe, convenient, and timely lunch experience each day.

Thank you for helping us keep lunch periods running smoothly!

Life Skills Lab's Grand Opening Celebration!

We are delighted to share some exciting news with you. Our new Life Skills Lab is now open, and you are warmly invited to join us in celebrating this special moment.

Grand Opening Celebration
When: Thursday, September 18, 2025 at 5:00 p.m.
Where: De LaSalle Academy

This space has been a dream for our school community, and now it has come to life thanks to the kindness, generosity, and tireless efforts of many. The Life Skills Lab will allow our students to practice daily living skills in a hands-on, real-world environment, empowering them with greater confidence and independence.

This transformation would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community. With deep gratitude, we thank:

Our many generous community members who gave their time, talents, and in-kind donations

A very special thanks goes to Elizabeth Wenzal of AM Design Group, who selflessly guided much of this mission with her time, expertise, and heart.
Together, these partners have helped create a space that will impact our students for years to come.

We would be honored for you, our De LaSalle family, to join us in officially opening the Life Skills Lab. Your presence will make the celebration even more meaningful as we take this step forward together.
