Senior College Kickstart Workshop:

For seniors who have registered, we are looking forward to seeing you at Kickstart on Monday, August 12, from 1:00 - 3:00 PM in the Garaventa and Tuesday, August 13, from 9:00 - 11:30 AM in the Jean Hofmann Center for Innovation.

Main Office Working Hours

The Main Office is open from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Spirit wear orders can be picked up at Student Orientation.

Cell Phone Policy 

To help foster engagement in the classroom, students are expected to turn their phones into the classroom cell phone pockets at the beginning of each class period. There are also specific schoolwide events where phones will not be allowed. For these reasons, we want to remind parents to call Nicole Ebert directly (ext. 116) in the Attendance Office with any urgent needs.

Parking Lot Updates

Please allow extra time to navigate our parking lot during the opening weeks of school. We have many new drivers learning our lot and locating their new parking assignment, as well as close to 2,000 students entering and exiting Carondelet and De La Salle within the same time frame. Here are a few important reminders: 

In the mornings: 

• All numbered spaces are assigned to students and staff. Please utilize the drop-off zone in the back of campus and do not pull into numbered spaces. 
• There are two lanes of traffic along our back fence. The left lane is for student drop off and the right lane is for student parking. 
• If you need to stop and park, please use our visitor parking found just after turning left after the flagpole.
• Our lot is busiest between 8:05 and 8:15 AM, so we encourage everyone to plan to arrive before 8:05 AM to allow for plenty of time to get to class. 

In the afternoons: 

• It can take up to 20 minutes to clear our parking lot at the end of the school day. Please plan accordingly. 
• For a smoother exit, we recommend arriving at campus to pick up your student no earlier than 10 minutes after the final bell. 
• If you arrive on campus to pick up your student before the final bell rings, we recommend that you park in any open parking spot in our back lot to avoid blocking parking spaces.

School Store Orders

Please pick up all your School Store orders at Orientation. All orders are located in the Convent in the stairwell. Purchases are in alphabetical order. Contact Angie Hatfield, Proforma, if you cannot find your order.

2024-25 Uniform Expectations

We encourage all students and families to familiarize themselves with our uniform policy. Questions? Email Dean of Students Caitlin Main.
