I. General Preface
DeLaSalle High School is a Catholic, Lasallian, co-educational high school located in an urban setting,
and is committed to providing students with a Catholic faith-based and structured curriculum designed
to prepare them for postsecondary opportunities and choices. DeLaSalle is proud of its association with
the Brothers of the Christian Schools (informally known as the Christian Brothers). From the very first
school day in 1900, Christian Brothers have guided DeLaSalle students in their academic studies and the
development of their relationship with Jesus Christ. This Lasallian work has considerably increased
throughout the world. Today, we are 80,000 educators and more than 5,000 Brothers, and together we
animate the Lasallian mission which reaches more than one million children, young people, and adults.
Educational service of the poor continues to be relevant for our time and essential for the Brothers and
Lasallians. The effort required of each one of us is one of conversion of the heart and of the mind. As
demonstrated by the unwavering and enthusiastic commitment to attract students from various economic
levels, academic abilities, racial communities, and ethnic backgrounds, DeLaSalle extends beyond the
facilitation of academic success to the preparation of students to be of service to the local, national, and
global community both during and after their formal education.
Policies and operational procedures at DeLaSalle High School are intended to preserve and facilitate the
best of traditional and contemporary educational standards within a Catholic school environment. All
students and parents should familiarize themselves with the school’s general expectations and policies.
Recognizing that each individual learner brings his or her unique needs to an educational program, the
administration of DeLaSalle High School reserves the right to modify the stated policies to both
facilitate and enhance the learning experience of an individual student.
The DeLaSalle High School administration reserves the right of final interpretation of stated policies.
Guests and Visitors Policy
DeLaSalle High School is pleased to welcome guests to our campus for school day visits, extracurricular
activities, and special events. All guests must sign in at the Main Office and abide by the regulations
outlined in this handbook. Guests visiting DeLaSalle while school is in session must wear the provided
visitor's badge. Students interested in visiting the school for a day should see the "Student Visitors"
section (page ??). DeLaSalle administration reserves the right to refuse entry to and remove a guest at
any time and for any reason.

II. Communications
General Information
All media announcements to be disseminated externally, such as press releases, video for public
consumption, and the computer website, require the approval of the Principal, Vice-President for
Enrollment and Marketing, or the Director of Communication. Information regarding the history and
current operation of DeLaSalle High School is available on the Internet at www.delasalle.com.
School Communication Resources

Each school day, students are directed to read all school announcements on “The Source”, a daily
bulletin accessible from DeLaSalle’s homepage. Items for “The Source” must be submitted to the
Director of Communications no later than 2:00 p.m. on the school day prior to the day of the
announcement. A faculty moderator of any activity cited in a bulletin announcement must
countersign all items prepared by students. The school reserves the right to edit material due to space
availability. Information in “The Source” may be projected in the Florance Center during lunch
6
 periods and posted on the DeLaSalle website as necessary. Media announcements such as posters,
flyers, videos, audio, etc., require the approval of the Dean of Students who will designate areas for
their display.
Newsletter.(Blast)

the week in which the announcement is to be published. Please submit items more than a week out if
you are able. A faculty moderator of any activity cited in the weekly email blast must countersign all
items submitted by students. The school reserves the right to edit all submitted material for content

inappropriate purpose is strictly prohibited.
School Closings
School closing announcements (due to inclement weather or emergencies) will be announced on
DeLaSalle’s website, communicated through alerts to families via phone and/or email preferences, and
announced on WCCO Radio (830AM) and KSTP Television (Channel 5).
Emergency Response Team
An emergency is defined as an intolerable situation or event that disrupts the life cycle, and/or routine of
individuals in such a manner that the usual methods of coping are no longer effective. In a time of
emergency, it is important for everyone to know what to do and to do it to the best of their abilities.
DeLaSalle has assembled an Emergency Response Team that, in the event of a crisis, is responsible for
providing the leadership and communication needed. This team meets as needed to provide the
foundation and framework to deal effectively with any crisis that may occur. Emergency Management
Team members are members of administration and the DeLaSalle’s Management Council. In the event
of an emergency, families are encouraged to contact the Main Office at 612.676.7600.

at www.delasalle.com for each staff person’s contact information.

III. Admission
Policy and Procedure
As part of its Catholic and Lasallian heritage, DeLaSalle seeks to attract students from various economic
levels, academic abilities, racial communities, and ethnic backgrounds. DeLaSalle High School strives
to educate a broad range of students and to foster a sense of community among them. Admission at the
start of grade nine is based on (1) completion of application; (2) average or better performance on grade
school transcripts; (3) at least one middle school teacher recommendation regarding academic potential
and personal character; and (4) meeting or exceeding national percentile standards of academic potential
as indicated by an entrance exam.
Transfer Students
The Admission Office and the Admission Review Committee, under the direction of the Principal,
coordinate the admission of transfer students. Students who transfer to DeLaSalle must (1) complete an
application form; (2) have an average or better performance on the previous school’s transcripts; (3)
7
submit at least one letter of recommendation from a teacher regarding academic potential and personal
character; and (4) participate in a personal interview with the Director of Admissions or Principal.
Upon enrollment, the student’s previous academic record will be translated into DeLaSalle credits.
Students who transfer to DeLaSalle are required to pay a $300.00 registration fee plus at least the first
month’s tuition before attending classes.
For all transfer students, the first twelve weeks of attendance at DeLaSalle are considered probationary.
Continued enrollment is conditioned on the student’s satisfactory classroom performance, attendance,
and behavior.
Extracurricular eligibility is determined according to the Minnesota State High School League rules,
with consideration to grades earned during the last term at the previous school. Transfer students may
not practice with, nor participate in, extracurricular activities until health records and official transcripts
have been verified.
Sixty hours of Christian Service is a graduation requirement for all students, including transfer students,
who may submit previously completed service hours to the Campus Ministry Office for review and
approval.
Student Visitors
Prospective students in the 7th or 8th grade who are applying for admission are welcome to spend the
day or part of the school day with a current DeLaSalle student. Students currently enrolled in grades
nine, ten, and eleven must have a completed application on file before a visit may be scheduled. Parents
must arrange all student visits with the Director of Admission at least three days prior to the visit.
Students may not arrange for visits. Visitors must follow all rules and regulations that are binding for
current students.

to the student.
7. Only hair of a natural hair-color range and pattern are acceptable.

V. Attendance
Absence
Students who attend classes every day increase their chance of success in their studies. If a student must
be absent for any reason the parent/guardian must inform the school at 612.676.7600 or
main.office@delasalle.com before 8:30 a.m. that day to notify the school of the student’s absence. If a
parent does not call the school, the Main Office will attempt to contact a parent/guardian. DeLaSalle
expects strong parental support for the school’s attendance policies. Attendance issues can be addressed
most effectively if open communication is maintained between the school and parents. In fact, students
who do not meet expectations regarding attendance and punctuality are subject to discipline, up to and
including dismissal.
Whenever a student enters school after first period has begun, or leaves school before the end of the last
period, he/she must sign in or out with the Main Office.
Occasionally, (i.e., bad weather day), a high percentage of students may be absent from school. The
administration has the sole right to decide whether to make up the missed instructional time by adding
hours or days to the school calendar.
Anticipated Absence
Under certain conditions, the school administration may grant anticipated absence requests (see list
below). Students with approved absences have the obligation of completing the Anticipated Absence
Form and making appropriate arrangements with teachers to ensure that all missed academic work
will be completed. This form must be approved by the Dean of Students or Assistant Principal and
turned in to the Main Office prior to the absence.
Students who fail one or more classes will normally not be given permission to be absent from school
or class.

10
Multiple Day Absence
A parent may request that a student be permitted a multiple day absence from school. The school
strongly discourages such a practice since it may impair the student’s academic progress. For such
absences, a completed Anticipated Absence Form must be submitted to DeLaSalle at least three
school days prior to the first date of the anticipated absence. If this procedure is not followed, the
student may lose credit for work missed during the absence.
Single Day Absence
If a parent requests that a student be absent from school a single day (for a reason other than an
emergency), the Attendance Office should be notified by the parent using the Anticipated Absence
Form at least three school days prior to the requested day of absence.
School Initiated Absence
An instructor or moderator of a school activity may initiate a request for one or more students to be
absent or dismissed early from school. Parental approval of this absence is required.
Brief Absence/Early Dismissal
Being excused for part of the school day will be allowed only when a parent/guardian has
communicated with the Attendance Office at least one day in advance by a written request that will
be kept on file. The request must state the reason, the date, and the arrival/departure time. Medical
and dental appointments will be considered excused only when a note from the physician’s office is
provided. Any request made the day of the release may require that the parent come to the
Attendance Office to sign out the student. If these procedures are not followed, the student may lose
credit for work missed during the absence.
Unexcused Absences
An unexcused absence occurs when a student is absent from one or more classes or for an entire day
of school without parent permission and without communication providing the reason for the
absence, a signed anticipated absence form, or an approved school initiated absence. When these
conditions have not been met and the student remains unexcused, a meeting with the Dean of
Students is required before the student may return to classes. Students who are unexcused will not
receive academic credit for work missed.
Excessive Absenteeism
Excessive absenteeism, including unexcused and parentally excused absenteeism, may adversely
affect a student’s academic standing. Students with poor attendance may be placed on an attendance
contract and Disciplinary Probation to ensure better attendance. If excessive absenteeism is not
corrected, additional disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, will be taken. The Dean of
Students will contact the parent(s) in this situation.
If the absenteeism is due to a medical concern, the school may ask for physician verification. If
verification is not provided the student may be dismissed from school. Even with physician
verification, the student may be dismissed if academic requirements cannot be maintained.
Tardiness
Punctual attendance to each class session is one of the most important responsibilities of every
DeLaSalle student. Being “tardy” is defined as not being present in the classroom at the sound of the
bell that begins each class period. Some teachers have attendance policies that affect their students’
grades.
Students may arrive tardy to class or school, including 1st period, a total of four times in a semester
without penalty. A warning will be issued when a student has been late three times. Detention will be
11
 assigned on the fifth time a student is marked tardy, and parent(s) will be notified. If student tardiness
continues, the Dean of Students will meet with the student and parent(s) and an attendance contract
may be established. Additional disciplinary consequences may be assigned.
Students who arrive after 8:30 a.m. must check in at the Main Office before going anywhere in the
school building. Students who arrive on a late school bus will be given a pass from the Main Office
and may proceed to their first hour class. Arriving to school late for an unexcused reason, such as
oversleeping or missing the bus, will be included in the student’s total semester tardy count. Arriving
after first period will normally be considered an unexcused absence for the class periods missed.
Skipping Class
Skipping is defined as an occurrence where a student is recorded with an unexcused absence from
class and/or the school day. No academic credit is given for classes skipped. The first time a student
skips a class the student will be assigned detention and the Dean of Students will contact the
parent(s). On the second skip, the Dean of Students will issue an in-school suspension in addition to
parental contact. If a student continues to skip class, the Dean of Students will meet with the parent(s)
and assign additional consequences, up to and including Disciplinary Probation.
Skipping School
On the first occurrence, of a student skipping any part or an entire day of school, the Dean of
Students will assign detention and parents will be contacted. No academic credit is given for classes
skipped. Any continued pattern of skipping school will result in additional consequences, up to and
including dismissal. DeLaSalle does not approve or support any student organized “skip days”. This
activity will result in appropriate discipline as determined by school administration, up to and
including dismissal.

VI. Academic Policies

AdvancED Accreditation
DeLaSalle continues to be accredited as a college preparatory high school under the auspices of
AdvancEd, formerly NCA/CASI (North Central Association/Commission on Accreditation and School
Improvement). DeLaSalle has been accredited since 1929.
Graduation Requirements
Students are required to earn a 45 minimum of semester credits to receive a DeLaSalle diploma. One
credit is given each semester of successful work in a course. All students must register for a minimum
of six credits per semester. Only one study hall per semester is permitted. Certain courses must be
completed during specific years in the following departments:
Grade 9 Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12
Theology Theology Theology Theology
English English English English
Mathematics Mathematics Mathematics Social Studies
Science Science Science
Social Studies Social Studies Social Studies
Physical Education
Specific course credit requirements are detailed in DeLaSalle’s Curriculum Guide.
Students must take required courses at DeLaSalle in the following departments: English, Theology, and
Health/PE: Wellness. With prior approval, DeLaSalle will accept credits from summer programs. Unless
taken at DeLaSalle, all summer classes both for make-up credit and/or enrichment credit will be
recorded as received by the institution/school. Credit will be awarded; however, any letter grades
12
received by the student will not be counted in the DeLaSalle GPA. Students who participate during the
school year in PSEO (Post-Secondary Education Option) must take classes for a letter grade; both the
grade and credit awarded by the post-secondary institution will be awarded to the student and counted
toward their DeLaSalle GPA. Students may only take PSEO classes if the course is not offered at
DeLaSalle.
Twelfth graders who have completed all academic requirements on or before published deadlines, have
satisfactorily met all of their financial obligations to the school, and have fulfilled the obligations of
good conduct as stated elsewhere in this Student-Parent Handbook, may participate in the
commencement exercises. Twelfth graders who have a deficiency of up to two credits will be allowed to
participate in the commencement exercises if all other graduation requirements are met and if there is an
acceptable plan, agreed upon by the teacher(s), parent(s), student, and Principal, for the successful
completion of deficient credits.
Grading Policy
Semester grades are transferred to the student’s permanent record. Under certain circumstances, with
the permission of the Principal, an incomplete grade (INC) may be given. An incomplete must be made
up within two weeks of the end of the semester, or after the student’s return to school, or the student’s
grade will be determined from the work that has been completed. A student who has received an
incomplete may be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities for the two-week grace period. If
work has not been completed in this time, the student will become ineligible to participate until all work
has been turned in and a final grade determined.
Grade point values are assigned as follows:
Regular Courses Grade Honors Courses
4.00 A 4.60
3.67 A- 4.27
3.33 B+ 3.73
3.00 B 3.40
2.67 B- 3.07
2.33 C+ 2.53
2.00 C 2.20
1.67 C- 1.87
1.33 D+ 1.33
1.00 D 1.00
.67 D- .67

A failing grade of F (0 point) will be given for insufficient achievement in a course. Teachers are
required to give students and parents adequate notification prior to assigning a failing grade.
DeLaSalle does not provide class rank to outside organizations such as post-secondary institutions,
scholarship programs, military organizations, NCAA, or the media.
Eligibility for Activities
All rules and regulations of the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) governing
interscholastic eligibility are in effect for all DeLaSalle students who participate in MSHSL-sponsored
activities. In addition, at DeLaSalle each student’s eligibility to perform or compete in an extracurricular
event is dependent upon receiving passing grades on the previous semester’s grade report. Grades from
the preceding spring semester and summer school classes are used to determine eligibility for a fall sport
or activity.

13
Honor Recognition
Honor Roll
To qualify for the Honor Roll, a student must have a semester grade point average of 3.0 or higher
with no D or F grades for the semester. “High Honors” is awarded to students with a semester grade
point average of 3.8 or higher.
Academic Letters
Students who have been on the Honor Roll at DeLaSalle for four semesters during their high school
career will be awarded an Academic Letter. These letters will be presented at the Fall Academic
Awards Reception.
Distinguished Scholars
Students whose cumulative grade point average is 4.0 or above after the first semester of grade
twelve will be recognized as Distinguished Scholars of their class. The Distinguished Scholars select
graduation speakers from within the Distinguished Scholars group.
National Honor Society
Students in grades 11 and 12, with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher, will be
considered for membership in the National Honor Society. Other criteria for membership are the
student’s service to school, service to community, leadership, and personal character. The selection
committee is composed of one teacher from each department and is assisted by the Principal, NHS
Advisors, and school counselors.
Course Drop/Add Policy
Students are advised to choose courses wisely. The master schedule and instructional personnel are set
to accommodate those courses chosen in the spring of the year. If a student and/or parent request a
schedule change, it will be governed by the following policies:

1. Once a semester has begun, both the parents and teachers involved must give written approval
for a schedule change on a Drop/Add Form, which is available in the Student Services Office.
2. If a class is already filled, a request to add that class will not be honored. DeLaSalle is
committed to keeping class sizes small and balanced and will not accommodate a change if it
means overloading a class. (Note: this may also involve other classes affected by the change).
3. After August 1 a $25.00 fee is assessed whenever a course is dropped. This must be paid before
the change is processed.
4. Students must follow their current schedule until they receive a new schedule.
5. Schedule changes will not be made to accommodate requests for specific teachers or for lunch
hour.
6. A senior who wishes to be a Teacher Aide and receive credit for the course must complete the
Teacher Aide Form – with all the appropriate signatures – and return it to the Student Services
Office during the first week of the semester. Students may not be a Teacher Aide and also have
a study hall in the same semester.
7. Courses dropped during the first two weeks of a semester will not appear on a student’s
transcript. Any course dropped from 3 – 6 weeks will appear as a W (withdrawn) on the
transcript. After the 6th week period the class will appear as a WF (withdrawn failing) or WP
(withdrawn passing) on the transcript. The W, WF and WP are not counted in the student’s
GPA.
Course Continuation Policy
Continuation courses are courses in which education in the second semester is dependent upon success
in the previous semester. This includes Mathematics, Modern Languages, Biology, Chemistry and
14
Physics 9. In these courses students may make up credit for lost credit. If a student fails the first
semester, but passes the second semester with a grade of at least a “C-”, credit for the first semester will
be awarded. This does not erase the failing grade as counted in the student’s GPA.
Repeating a Passed Class
If a student repeats a sequential course (i.e., Algebra I, Spanish I) that was previously passed, both
grades will be recorded and used in the calculation of the GPA, but only one course credit will be given.
Study Hall
The study hall during the regular school day is a place for private or approved group study. Study hall is
for students to work on academic assignments with use of the Library Technology Center if needed.
Study hall supervisors will conduct the study hall as a classroom and set their own guidelines.
If students want to work with a teacher, or go to the Guidance Office or another school office during
their assigned study hall period, they must request a pass or present an approved pass to the study hall
supervisor after attendance has been taken. Students should then move quietly and directly to the work
area and later return to the study hall if so directed.
Students may not play music, videos, or games while in study hall. The iPad should only be used for
educational activities.
Homework
Students should ordinarily expect to receive an average of two to three hours of homework each school
day. A successful student completes all homework on time.
Theology
DeLaSalle functions under the direct supervision and leadership of the Catholic Archdiocese of Saint
Paul and Minneapolis. Admission to DeLaSalle is open to students of other faiths and denominations.
Regardless of faith tradition, students are required to take courses in Theology throughout their years of
attendance and attend school liturgical celebrations that are held on a regular basis during the school
year.
Mandatory grade level retreats are conducted annually through the Lasallian (Campus) Ministry
program. Retreats are a full day experience intended to expose students to Lasallian spirituality as well
as developing necessary skills to make faith-based life decisions. Students absent from school on the day
of the retreat must arrange with Lasallian Ministry to make up the absence with a suitable activity done
outside of the school day.
Christian Service
Christian Service is an opportunity for students to practice and share faith beliefs and values in their
varied communities. By volunteering at local service agencies, students gain insights and understanding
of the economic, physical, and spiritual needs of community members. It is hoped that students will
develop a life-long desire to meet these needs and continue to work for solutions to unjust situations. All
students, including those who transfer to DeLaSalle High School, must perform a minimum of 60 hours
of Christian Service as a graduation requirement. The Campus Ministry Office sets the criteria and
monitors service hour projects and the required reflection paper. Students should record their hours on
the Christian Service Validation Forms that can be obtained in the Campus Ministry Office. Upon
completion of the 60-hour requirement, students will receive a grade of “P” (passing) and 1.0 credit.

15
Academic Reports
Parents and students are encouraged to use Canvas as a means of tracking student progress. Semester
grades will be mailed??? at the end of each semester. These are final grades, become part of the
student’s permanent record, and appear on the student’s transcript.
Conferences
Two times during the school year, DeLaSalle hosts Parent-Student-Teacher conferences. These face-to-
face conversations are highly regarded as one of the most important factors in a student’s overall
satisfaction with and success at DeLaSalle. Students are strongly encouraged to attend with their
parent(s). Information regarding conference dates and times is published on the school calendar, in the
weekly blast, and on the DeLaSalle High School website.
Student Records
In compliance with the appropriate state legislation and pursuant to the Family Educational Rights Act
of 1974, DeLaSalle High School will follow a policy that has as its objective the safeguarding of the
confidentiality of the academic records of students. Furthermore, under appropriate conditions, students
shall have access to view the contents of such records.
On a permanent basis, the school will maintain a record of each student that contains certain minimum
personal data that is necessary for the operation of the educational program; i.e. names, address of
parents, date of birth, grades, standardized test scores, GPA, and attendance record. Observations or
notices made by an individual teacher, counselor or administrator which are not communicated to other
persons in working with the student are not considered a part of the official records and need not be
retained by DeLaSalle or made available for examination, since they are not included with the student’s
permanent records. In addition, parents/guardians of a student who is 18 years old or over must have the
consent of the student to see the student’s records.
Parents and legal guardians of students under 18 years of age, and all students 18 years of age and older,
have the right to examine the school’s official record, files, and data related to the student.
The Student Services Office is responsible for maintaining and providing the proper security for student
records. This record includes the student’s identification data, courses taken, grades and credits earned,
standardized test scores, and each year’s cumulative absences and tardiness. Parents, guardians, and
students who are 18 years or older may request a review of the files by making an appointment with the
Student Services Office. Student health records are kept on file in the Nurse’s Office. Students must
have current immunizations on file for continued enrollment.
The academic record of each student is kept in the Student Services Office. Requests for review of a
student’s permanent record are to be made by the student or the student’s parent/guardian (if the student
is under 18 years of age) directly to the Student Services Office. No records, files or data directly
relating to an individual student shall be made available to anyone without the consent and notification
of the student or the parents/guardian of a student under 18 years of age, except (1) the teachers and
officials of a school who have a legitimate educational interest in such information; (2) unless there has
been a federal request for submission of student records in connection with the student’s application for
financial aid; or (3) as otherwise required by law. The student or parent will be notified if officials of a
school to which a student intends to enroll desire access to student records, or if a court has ordered
access to such records.
The financial record of each student’s tuition account is kept in the school’s Business Office.
DeLaSalle follows a policy that safeguards the confidentiality of each student’s records, making them
available only to those who have legal and legitimate educational interest in the information contained in
the files.
16
Withdrawing from DeLaSalle
If a student wishes to withdraw at any time during the academic year, a parent of the student must
contact Student Services to initiate the withdrawal process. Once the withdrawal process is complete, the
school will forward official transcripts to the transfer school. See also the “Tuition Policies for
Withdrawal of Students” section in this handbook.
Academic Probation
Each DeLaSalle student must be continually striving for academic achievement (good grades) and
making progress towards graduation (sufficient credits earned). The relationship with teachers, a
counselor, and an academic mentor, in addition to the warning steps of the academic probation process
assist students towards these goals of academic success.
First-level Academic Probation
First-level Academic Probation is enacted for students who have not previously been on academic
probation and who, at the end of a semester, have failed one required course, or any two courses. A
written notification will be given to the student and student’s parent(s).
1. Student may continue to practice with and participate in extracurricular activities, but may
not compete or perform with any team or group. The student may become eligible to compete
or perform if they are passing all classes at three designated dates during the semester. These
dates will be published every year and are approximately every four weeks. The Activities
Office will inform the student and coach of their eligibility status.
2. The student must maintain their passing grades in order to continue participation throughout
the semester. The student will remain on first-level probation until the end of the semester.
3. A student who receives all passing grades at the end of the semester will be removed from
academic probation.
4. A student who receives a failing grade in one required, or two elective classes at the end of
the semester will be placed on second-level academic probation.
Second-level Academic Probation
Second-level Academic Probation is enacted for students on first-level probation for two consecutive
semesters, or for students who receive three or more failing grades in any one semester.
1. A written notification will be given to the student and parent(s).
2. Student will not be eligible to practice with nor compete or perform in any extracurricular
activities during the semester.
3. Student will not be eligible for any school sponsored trips.
4. A student on second-level probation who receives passing grades for all courses at the end of
the subsequent semester will be removed from academic probation.
5. If a student on second-level probation receives one or more failing grades at the end of the
subsequent semester, the administration will review his/her records and the student may be
dismissed from the school.
Conditional Probation
Students who end a school year on 1st or 2nd Level Academic Probation may make up lost credit in
summer school. Students who successfully earn credit in the summer will be placed on conditional
probation the following semester. The student’s grades will continue to be closely monitored during
published checkpoints through the semester. If the student is failing any class at a checkpoint, the
student will return to the original level of probation issued the end of the previous semester.

17
Academic Dismissal
If after being on second-level probation a student continues to have course failures and/or lacks the
determination to make improvement, DeLaSalle may enact an academic dismissal. A student may
appeal the dismissal by requesting an Academic Board of Review (ABOR), or a student may choose to
attend high school elsewhere and then reapply to DeLaSalle after completing a successful semester at
the other school. If the student prefers to leave DeLaSalle permanently, they should contact the Student
Services Office to arrange for books and iPad returns, and forwarding of transcripts.
Academic Board of Review
An Academic Board of Review (ABOR) is assembled for students who wish to appeal an academic
dismissal. The primary function of the ABOR is to recommend to the President of DeLaSalle High
School a resolution to a dismissal appeal. The decision of the President is final.
ABOR Membership
Membership of the Academic Board of Review, when possible, consists of:
1. Principal (chairperson)
2. Assistant Principal (presenter/non-voting)
3. Student’s academic mentor
4. Two teachers of student’s choice
5. Principal’s choice of a current teacher of the student
6. School Counselor (non-voting)
ABOR Responsibilities:
1. Hear presentations from the school, the student, and the student’s family.
2. Ask clarifying questions of the school, the student, and the student’s family.
3. Recommend to the President a resolution to the issue with rationale.
ABOR Chairperson Responsibilities:
1. Ensure a tone of “information gathering” by staying focused and on task. The hearing is not a
debate; it is a forum for presenting information. The chairperson has the authority to
terminate lines of discussion not relevant to the issue at hand.
2. Close the meeting when the presentations and responses are completed.
3. Present the ABOR’s recommendation to the President as soon as possible under the
circumstances, typically within one full school day.
ABOR Procedure:
1. The Assistant Principal will present the reason/s for dismissal.
2. The student and student’s family will present their information and position.
3. After the school, the student, and the student’s family have made their presentations, ABOR
members may ask questions.
4. The school, student, and student’s family will be given the opportunity to respond to the
other’s presentation. ABOR members may ask questions after each response.
5. The chairperson will determine if a second round of responses and questions is needed.
6. The meeting will end when the school, student, and student’s family have finished their
presentations and responses.
The Principal of DeLaSalle will notify the student, student’s family, and the ABOR members of the
President’s final decision by phone. A written confirmation of the decision will be mailed to the
student’s family.

18
 Academic Board of Review Follow-up
Students who have their enrollment continued after their ABOR must maintain satisfactory progress
toward the conditions identified as a result of the review process. In situations where those
conditions are not met, the student and his/her family are required to meet with the Principal to
review the potential for their continuance at DeLaSalle. DeLaSalle has the sole right to determine
whether dismissal is appropriate when the conditions have not been satisfied.
In circumstances when the student is not retained after their ABOR, the student may only reapply for
admission to DeLaSalle after the successful completion of at least one term at another school.

VII. Behavior and Discipline

Responsibilities and Expectations
DeLaSalle is a Catholic, Lasallian community whose members recognize that each person has specific
rights and responsibilities. Students are expected to exercise self-discipline and exhibit appropriate
behavior in their relationships with others. They are also expected to respect the property rights of other
students, the faculty, and the school. DeLaSalle expects parents and families to cooperate with the
school in reaching these goals.
Improper behavior will not be tolerated and is grounds for disciplinary measures such as detention,
probation, suspension or dismissal. Behavior at all school events, whether on or off school property, is
governed by all expectations as outlined in this handbook. Behavior using DeLaSalle provided
resources, such as IPADs, regardless of whether the behavior occurs on or off school grounds, is
governed by the expectations outlined in this handbook. In addition, DeLaSalle reserves the right to
discipline students for behavior outside of school or school events which disrupts the school or the
school environment.
Cheating
Academic cheating is defined as scholastic dishonesty, including plagiarism, copyright infringement,
copying the work of another, turning in another’s work as one’s own, or aiding another student in doing
any of the above. For a first violation of cheating, the student receives no academic credit and parents
are notified. A second violation of cheating also results in no academic credit as well as a required
meeting with the student, parents, and the Assistant Principal. If a third violation of cheating occurs, the
student may be subject to appropriate discipline, up to and including dismissal.
Dismissal from Class
Any student dismissed from class must remain outside of the classroom until an administrator arrives to
escort them to the office.
Disrespectful Behavior
Disrespectful behavior is defined as not showing due courtesy to other individuals or the school
environment. This may include acts of physical or verbal abuse, including the use of inappropriate
gestures and language. Judging the severity of the behavior will be at the discretion of the teacher and/or
administrator. The student may be assigned detention or in-school suspension for a single occurrence
and the parent(s) will be notified. A student who has a pattern of disrespectful behavior may be placed
on Disciplinary Probation.
Gambling
All forms of gambling are forbidden on school grounds or within the school building. Card playing of
any sort is restricted to the Florance Center during lunch hours. Game playing for money is not allowed.
Off-Limits
Students are off-limits when, without authorization, they are:
19
 1. Outside the school building but on campus during times of the day when they do not have
approved permission to be so. Teacher or staff supervision is required for any student who is
outside the building during the school day.
2. Within areas of the school that are normally locked or only used by authorized personnel such as
the garage, elevator, locker rooms, private offices, etc.

The Dean of Students may from time to time designate other school areas as off-limits either for the
entire student body or a specific student. Students found off-limits may lose pass privileges or find
their movement is restricted while on campus. Additional disciplinary consequences may result for
violation of this policy.
Profanity
Profanity in any form is not allowed at DeLaSalle or at any of its functions. A student using profanity
may be assigned either detention or in-school suspension depending on the severity of the incident.
Prohibited Substances
Students in possession or under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, synthetic substances, and any illegal
or prohibited substance (or paraphernalia related to the use of such substance) during the school day, or
at any school-sponsored event will not be allowed to enter or remain on the school grounds. The student
will be placed under immediate and indefinite suspension. The school will immediately notify parent(s).
Depending on the specifics of the situation, the student may be dismissed from DeLaSalle. A student
who is suspended for the use or possession of a prohibited substance or paraphernalia will be required to
have a chemical assessment prior to the lifting of the suspension. The results will be used to determine
whether the student will be permitted by the school officials to remain at DeLaSalle or to return at some
time in the future. If the evaluation indicates that the student be recommended for treatment, the
treatment must be implemented before the student is permitted to return to class. If treatment is not
recommended, the student will be allowed to return pending the student’s acceptance of school-imposed
conditions and with the understanding that any additional offense will result in immediate dismissal.
In an effort to ensure that our students remain healthy and that our school and campus remains drug free,
DeLaSalle High School will use a drug detection program to inspect the building, parking lot and
surrounding campus. Additionally, a breathalyzer may be used when a student is suspected to be under
the influence of alcohol. If a student is found to be in possession of prohibited substances or
paraphernalia, DeLaSalle has the right to initiate school protocol regarding the use and possession of
prohibited substance.
The use or possession of tobacco, e-cigarettes, or any related products by students is not permitted on
campus or at any location that may be viewed from the school grounds. In addition, students are not
permitted to use tobacco, e-cigarettes, or any related products at any school-sponsored activities. Any
violation of this prohibition will result in parental notification and suspension.
Violations of DeLaSalle’s prohibited substance policy will be reported to the Activities Director.
DeLaSalle adheres to all Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) rules regarding chemical use.
Sexual Harassment / Displays of Affection
Sexual harassment by word, gesture, or physical contact is illegal. At DeLaSalle, no person will be
subjected either directly or indirectly to another’s unwelcome sexual comments, displays or overtures.
This includes excessive displays of affection that are inappropriate in a public setting. Students who
violate this policy shall be subject to appropriate discipline, up to and including dismissal. Students who
feel they are being harassed are encouraged to contact the Dean of Students office or report their
concerns to a member of the School’s administration.
20
Threatening Language
Any student making a verbal or written statement or threat of a terrorist nature judged by the
administration to be serious, including but not limited to threats of physical or emotional harm to any
student, faculty, staff, family member, or building facility, will be taken seriously and dealt with
accordingly. The student responsible for making the statement will be removed from school while the
situation is being investigated. DeLaSalle High School adheres to the Minnesota state statutes that
define terrorist threats. The police will be informed. The school may require the student to present a
favorable professional assessment of their mental health in order to continue at DeLaSalle. Disciplinary
consequences, up to and including suspension or dismissal, will be imposed.
Vandalism
Anyone apprehended for vandalism at DeLaSalle must pay for the damage caused, and possible legal
prosecution may be brought against the person. Student vandals may be suspended or dismissed.
Bullying and Cyber-bullying
I. PURPOSE
DeLaSalle is committed to providing a safe educational environment for its students and teachers.
DeLaSalle acknowledges that it cannot monitor all activities and eliminate all incidents of bullying
between students, particularly when one or more of the students involved is not on school property or
under the direct supervision of school personnel. The purpose of this policy is to assist DeLaSalle in
its goal of preventing and responding to acts of bullying, intimidation, harassment, violence, and
similar disruptive behavior.
II. PROVISIONS
A. DeLaSalle expressly prohibits bullying, by either an individual student or a group of students, on
school property or at school-related functions. DeLaSalle also expressly prohibits cyber-
bullying, regardless of whether such acts are committed on or off school property or with or
without the use of school resources. These prohibitions apply to students who directly engage in
an act of bullying and to students who, by their indirect behavior, condone or support another
student’s act of bullying. This policy also applies to any student whose conduct at any time or in
any place constitutes bullying that interferes with or obstructs the mission or operations of the
school or the safety or welfare of the student, other students, volunteers, or employees.
B. Apparent permission or consent by a student being bullied does not lessen the prohibitions
contained in this policy.
C. A person who observes an act of bullying or becomes aware of such an act must report it to a
teacher. Anyone with any bullying-related concerns may also contact the Dean of Students.
D. Retaliation against a victim, good-faith reporter, or a witness of bullying is prohibited.
E. False accusations or reports of bullying others are prohibited.
A student who violates this policy shall be subject to discipline for that act in accordance with
DeLaSalle’s policies and procedures. DeLaSalle may take into account all factors it determines to be
relevant. Depending on the circumstances, such factors might include:
 The age, development, and maturity levels of the parties involved;
 The levels of harm, surrounding circumstances, and nature and severity of behavior;
 Past incidences or past or continuing patterns of behavior;
 The relationship between the parties involved; and
 The context in which the alleged conduct occurred.
Depending on the level and severity of the offense, discipline may range from positive behavioral
interventions to more serious consequences as outlined in our handbook, including but not limited to,
21
 suspension or dismissal. Consequences for other individuals engaging in particular acts of bullying
may include, but not be limited to, exclusion from DeLaSalle’s school property and events or
termination of services or contracts.
III. DEFINITIONS
A. For purposes of this policy, “bullying” means deliberate or intentional behavior using words or
actions that are intended to cause or that do cause fear, distress, intimidation, or harm. Bullying
may be repeated behavior or a pattern of behavior, and it may involve an imbalance of power.
Bullying can take different forms, including but not limited to:
 Verbal conduct (e.g. using threatening or intimidating language, teasing, or name-calling);
 Social (e.g., spreading rumors, ostracizing or socially excluding others, breaking up
friendships);
 Physical (e.g., physical acts and gestures, including hitting, kicking, tripping, theft, damaging
property, threatening or intimidating behavior); and
 Cyber-bullying.
B. For purposes of this policy, “Cyber-bullying” means the use of any electronic means to harass,
intimidate, or bully, whether on or off school grounds. “Cyber-bullying” is a form of bullying,
and provisions of this policy that refer to “bullying” are intended to refer to cyber-bullying as
well.
C. For purposes of this policy, “on school property or at school-related functions” means all
DeLaSalle’s school buildings, school grounds, and school property or property adjacent to school
grounds, DeLaSalle’s school buses, DeLaSalle’s school vehicles, DeLaSalle’s school contracted
vehicles, the area of entrance or departure from school grounds, premises, or school-related trips,
functions, activities, or events. While prohibiting bullying at these locations and events, the
school does not represent that it will provide supervision or assume liability at these locations
and events.
Minor Disciplinary Infractions
Corrections and/or warnings by staff members are given for inappropriate behavior that is minor in
nature. If inappropriate behavior continues, a written report might be placed in the student’s record and
would be considered a minor infraction. A warning will be issued when a student accumulates three
minor infractions.
When a student reaches four infractions in one semester a detention will be assigned and parent(s) will
be contacted. In some circumstances, a meeting may be arranged between the student, staff member, and
Dean of Students. Examples of minor infractions include, but are not limited to:
1. Leaving the iPad in an insecure location;
2. Uniform violations;
3. Backpack/Purse violation;
4. Inappropriate public displays of affection (PDA);
5. Littering;
6. No hall pass.
Depending on the nature of individual situations, additional disciplinary consequences may be assigned.
Continued minor infractions after the first four may also result in additional disciplinary consequences.
The Dean of Students will notify parent(s) after the sixth infraction. After the eighth infraction, an in-
school suspension may be assigned and parent meeting may be held. The student may be placed on
Disciplinary Probation.

22
Major Disciplinary Infractions
DeLaSalle administration will take immediate disciplinary action with any student involved with a
major infraction. Consequences may include the possibility of detention, in-school suspension, at-home
suspension, or dismissal. Major infractions include but are not limited to:
1. Fighting, hitting, or causing a fight;
2. Vandalism of school property or individual’s property;
3. Truancy;
4. Lying or stealing;
5. Profanity;
6. Bullying and cyberbullying (as defined in this handbook);
7. All forms of discrimination, including those based on racial, gender, sexual orientation,
religious, psychological, or physical differences;
8. The use, sale, or possession of any prohibited, dangerous, and/or illegal substance or item
such as drugs, weapons, or alcohol;
9. Academic cheating, passing off another’s work as one’s own, or obtaining credit for work
not done;
10. Verbal abuse, harassment, threatening language, or any behavior that results in an injury
to the good reputation of another or falls short of the basic respect each person should be
given;
11. Insubordination, a disruptive or flagrant failure to follow appropriate directions given by
any staff member, or showing disrespect by language or behavior;
12. Hazing in any form, whether on or off school property. This includes any behavior that is
demeaning, degrading, or contrary to human decency.
Detention
Detention is held twice a week for two hours after school. When detention is issued, it is mandatory that
it be served by the date indicated. Failure to serve detention will result in in-school suspension, parent(s)
will be contacted, and a meeting may be held between the student, parent(s), and Dean of Students.
Suspensions
For any behavior that jeopardizes the well being of any member of our school community, or which can
be determined as a violation of school policy or values, the school reserves the right to suspend a
student.
Depending on the nature of the violation, a student may be assigned in-school suspension or at-home
suspension. Students will typically not be permitted to make up daily assignments missed during the
suspension and are unable to participate in extra-curricular activities the day of the suspension. Students
on suspension may not attend any school related events regardless of their location.
A student on in-school suspension will be isolated from the student body and must do academic
assignments or work assigned by the administrator. The student may take major exams at the beginning
of the day. Uncooperative behavior while serving in-school suspension will result in at-home
suspension. A student on at-home suspension may not be on school grounds the day of the suspension.
Disciplinary Probation
Disciplinary Probation is usually the last warning before dismissal. It can be issued when students are
returning from a suspension or if a student has not corrected a pattern of misbehavior after repeated
interventions.
When a pattern of misbehavior is observed by administration, a meeting will be set up between the Dean
of Students, parent(s) and student. The objective of the meetings is to help the student understand the

23
implications of their behavior and to create a plan to help the student improve their standing. If after this
meeting the student continues to accrue infractions, said student may be placed on Disciplinary
Probation. Continued infractions while on Disciplinary Probation may result in dismissal.
Disciplinary Dismissal
Students who do not fulfill the conditions of Disciplinary Probation or engage in other serious conduct
that violates a School policy will be dismissed from DeLaSalle.
A student who has been dismissed from school for disciplinary infractions may appeal by asking for a
Disciplinary Board of Review (DBOR). In an instance where the safety and security of DeLaSalle
students and/or staff may be in jeopardy, the right to a DBOR may be revoked. The student may not be
on school property, nor attend any events sponsored by DeLaSalle such as dances, assemblies, athletic
events, and theater productions on or off school property.
For possible readmission to DeLaSalle after a disciplinary dismissal, the student must successfully
complete a semester at another school. If the student is readmitted, they will be on probation for one
year and sign a written contract. There will be no chance for further appeals.
Disciplinary Board of Review
A Disciplinary Board of Review is assembled for students who are serving an indefinite suspension
because they have been involved in behavior that may jeopardize their good standing at DeLaSalle. The
primary function of the DBOR is to recommend to the President of DeLaSalle a resolution to the
situation, which can include discipline, up to and including dismissal. The decision of the President is
final.
DBOR Membership
Membership of the Disciplinary Board of Review, when possible, consists of:
1. Principal (chairperson)
2. Dean of Students (presenter/non-voting)
3. Student’s academic mentor
4. Two teachers of student’s choice
5. Principal’s choice of a current teacher of the student
6. School Counselor (non-voting)
DBOR Responsibilities:
 Hear from the school, student, and student’s family regarding the circumstances of the
dismissal.
 Question the school, student, and student’s family if clarifications are needed.
 Recommend to the President of DeLaSalle a resolution to the issue with rationale.
DBOR Chairperson Responsibilities:

VIII.Student Life
Activities
Most DeLaSalle extracurricular sports and activities are governed by the Minnesota State High School
League (MSHSL). DeLaSalle chooses to follow MSHSL bylaws and eligibility rules for all student
activities. Visit www.mshsl.org to read the bylaws and eligibility rules for each activity.
All students who wish to participate in MSHSL sponsored activities must have a current physical
(within three years) and an annual MSHSL parent’s permit and health questionnaire on file at DeLaSalle
prior to the first day of practice for the selected activity.
At DeLaSalle, each student’s eligibility to perform or compete in a student activity is dependent upon
meeting DeLaSalle’s academic, attendance, and behavioral expectations.
Questions or proposals about the creation of a new student activity should be submitted to the Director
of Student Activities.
Assemblies
When there is an assembly, students must leave their books in the classroom, unless otherwise directed,
and proceed directly to the assembly area. Following the assembly, students should return to their
classrooms to pick up their materials and proceed to the next scheduled class or activity. Students are
expected to behave in an appropriate manner.
Backpacks, Book Bags, Purses
Only drawstring bags purchased at the school store are permitted during the school day. All other
backpacks, book bags and purses must be stored in a locker while school is in session. This policy
applies to out-of-uniform days as well. DeLaSalle reserves the right to inspect backpacks, book bags,
and purses at any time, for any reason, and with or without notice.
Before and After School
Once a student arrives on campus, he/she may not leave the school building except with permission or
for an event such as a scheduled school activity. Loitering in the gyms, locker rooms, school parking lot,
fields, Founder’s Park, or on Nicollet Island is not allowed. While a student is on campus they must be
dressed cleanly, neatly, and modestly as stated in the uniform policy contained herein.
A student who exhibits uncooperative behavior before or after school loses the privilege of remaining on
school grounds before or after school and parent(s) will be contacted. In severe cases, the student may
also lose the privilege of participating in after-school activities.

25
Students entering the building before the beginning of first period are to report to one of the following
areas:
1. Florance Center - the only place for food and drink;
2. Library & Technology Center or Tech Lab - when supervised;

stated herein apply at school dances.
Dance Dress Code
DeLaSalle’s casual dances will follow the uniform policy outlined herein. When dances are deemed
formal or semi-formal, jeans, tennis shoes, athletic jerseys are not acceptable. It is recommended that
men wear ties and women wear dresses, skirts, or dress pants. DeLaSalle reserves the right, in its
sole discretion, to make determinations concerning appropriate attire.
Dance Guests
Each student may bring one guest to a school-sponsored dance. The host or guest student must pick
up a Dance Guest Registration form from the Attendance Office and have it completed by the guest
and faxed back to the DeLaSalle’s Student Activities Office at least one day prior to the date of the
dance. The DeLaSalle student and guest must arrive together. The guest must present a picture ID.
Prior to the dance, guests will be presented with guidelines and rules for DeLaSalle dances. With
their signature, guests will confirm their understanding of the rules and give DeLaSalle school
contact information to a parent or guardian.
All guests are subject to the same rules as DeLaSalle students. If the rules are not followed the guest
will be asked to leave.
Staff Room
The Staff Room is reserved for faculty and staff use only. Students are not permitted to enter the room
unless accompanied by a staff member.

26
Fire and Tornado Drills
In the event of a fire or a fire drill an alarm will sound. Students are expected to exit the building
quickly, quietly, and in an orderly fashion following the directives of the adults in the area. Upon
exiting, classroom and office doors should be shut (not locked) and lights turned off. The first people to
reach the outside exit doors should hold them open until all have vacated the building. Once outside,
students should stay a safe distance away from the building. In most cases, this means across the street
from the building and clear of the roadway that borders the building. Students must stay with their class
since teachers may need to take attendance. When it is safe to return to the building, an administrator
will signal the “all-clear.”
In the event of a tornado or a tornado drill the school bell will ring repeatedly. Students should exit
classrooms quickly and quietly; upon exiting, classroom and office doors should be shut and lights
turned off. Students should proceed to the lowest corridor of the building they are in and sit on the floor
away from glass windows or display cases. They must remain seated and quiet in order to hear
instructions from teachers.
Notes: Gymnasiums and the Florance Center are not to be used as tornado shelters.
Food and Beverages
Unless special permission is granted, food and drink may not be brought into classrooms; however,
individual teachers may permit water in clear bottles in the classroom. Before school, food and drink
may only be consumed in the Florance Center. After school, food and drink may only be consumed in
Islander Commons.
Illness in School
Students who feel ill and/or are in need of health assistance during the school day should report to the
Attendance Office. If unable to report, another student should be sent with a message that someone is
sick. Parent(s) will be notified. There is no place in the school for an ill student to rest. The school does
not have a full-time nurse on staff.
Insurance
Each student who participates in the school’s athletic program should have medical insurance coverage
before participating in any practices or competitions.
Library & Technology Center
The DeLaSalle Library & Technology Center is open Monday-Thursday 8:00am-6:00pm and Friday
8:00am-5:00pm, and is a place for quiet study, research, and reading. The Library & Technology Center
may occasionally be closed for meetings. During the school day, students must have a pass to visit and
leave the library. Library materials may be checked out using a current student ID. Most materials are
checked-out for three weeks; checkout is renewable. Students will be charged replacement value for lost
or damaged books. On occasion, teachers may bring their classes to the Library & Technology Center
for research projects. When this is the case, other students are expected to find a place to work that will
not interfere with the activities of the scheduled class.
The Library & Technology Center computers are available for research and Internet use. All students
must log in when using these computers and follow the "Technology and Use of the Internet" policies
outlined herein.
In accordance with the school's mission and vision, resources in the Library & Technology Center are
available as support for the DeLaSalle curriculum and for recreational reading. The availability of
resources and materials is subject to the Library & Technology Center Policy on Selection and Re-
evaluation.
27
Food and beverages are not allowed in the Library & Technology Center. Library & Technology Center
privileges may be revoked for inappropriate and uncooperative behavior.
Lockdown Procedure and Drills
In the event that a situation requires DeLaSalle to go into Lockdown, the following steps will be taken.
Students will be informed to immediately proceed to the nearest classroom or office. Classroom and
office doors will be locked. Teachers and staff in these areas will have students move to an area away
from windows and doors and remain there until members of the Emergency Response Team have given
the “all-clear” signal.
Lockers and Locks
All hallway and locker room lockers are the property of DeLaSalle High School. School authorities may
search lockers and their contents at any time, for any reason, without notice, and without student
consent. Lockers are assigned at the beginning of the school year and students are only permitted to use
that locker. Each student is issued a lock that must be used for all four years. Locks purchased elsewhere
are not permitted. A replacement lock is available for $5.00. Students with questions or problems with
lockers should see the Dean of Students.
The assignment and supervision of lockers for athletics and physical education classes is under the
authority of the Director of Student Activities or the Physical Education teacher.
School locks provide only minimal security. It is best to leave valuables at home or, if they must be
brought to school, to check them with the Main Office. The school is not responsible for lost or stolen
items.
Lost and Found
Lost-and-found articles should be turned-in to and claimed at the Dean of Students’ office. Articles not
claimed after a reasonable period of time are discarded or donated to charity.
Cafeteria Accounts
The DeLaSalle Cafeteria utilizes an account system for its lunch activities, and does not accept cash
within the lunch line. Each student has an individual account where money can be deposited (through
the Business Office or online). Once money is deposited in to the account, students use their unique
account number to make purchases in the Cafeteria.
Money can be deposited to an individual account in three ways:
1. Send in a separate check, either through mail or in person (checks for lunch account cannot be
deposited for other purposes);
2. Students can deposit cash into the account in the Main Office;
3. Online through DeLaSalle Cafe’s LunchTime portal; http://delasalle.com/about/delasalle-cafe/.
Cafeteria – Florance Center
The cafeteria is located in the Florance Center. Students are encouraged to recycle and compost by
depositing all waste in the designated receptacles. Students must leave the tables and floor around their
eating area clean. No food from off-campus sources may be delivered to school unless approved by
school administration. When the weather permits, students may use Founder’s Park during their lunch
period. Students will be supervised and must remain within the confines of the park as defined by the
sidewalks. Students wishing to leave the Florance Center, unless going to the restroom, must obtain a
pass from a lunch supervisor. School consequences may apply for students in the hallways or other areas
on campus without a pass during their lunch period.

28
Medications
Medications should be taken at home if at all possible. Except as otherwise covered by law, when a
student under age 18 is required to take medication during the school day, the administration and storage
of the medication must be in accordance with the following stipulations:

medications.
2. A consent form signed by a physician and a parent must be on file with the student’s health
records.

Out-of-Uniform
During the year, school organizations? Student Council? Or school sponsored out-of-,.,,) may sponsor an
out-of-uniform day to raise money for their group or cause. Any student wishing to be out of uniform on
these days must purchase an Out-of-Uniform Day wristband. One-third of the money collected will be
given to our Lasallian twin school, the Mwangaza Center in Nakuru, Kenya.
During Homecoming or Winterfest week, students may dress according to the designated theme days
(without purchasing a wristband). If students do not wish to participate, they must wear the school
uniform.

Dress code violations on Out-of-Uniform Days will be reported to the Dean of Students. Out-of uniform
attire is subject to the approval of the administration. Students who do not meet the above guidelines
will be required to change attire or wear a school-loaned uniform, and further school consequences may
apply. Parent(s) will be notified when repeated violations occur.
Personal Electronics
Personal electronic media (other than iPad’s) such as CD players, MP3 players, and cell phones may not
be used during any portion of the school day (8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). Teachers and staff may confiscate
these or other potentially disruptive items during the school day, and school consequences are as

29
Continued personal electronics infractions beyond the fourth offense will result in further school
consequences. In accordance with DeLaSalle policies, unauthorized photographs or video and audio
recordings of the school, students, teachers and staff, school property, or school-related events are
strictly prohibited. All photographs and recordings taken at DeLaSalle, on school property, or at school-
related events are the property of DeLaSalle, and at the discretion of the school, may be confiscated.

teacher, coach, or moderator will determine and clarify the rules of conduct with parent(s) and students
before the trip. Students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing to qualify for a trip.
Tuition and financial obligations must be current for a student to participate on a trip. Should there be
questions, the moderator and DeLaSalle’s administration will determine eligibility.
Technology and Use of Internet
At DeLaSalle, technology is defined as computer software, hardware and networks, on-line connections
such as email and Internet, video equipment, cameras, and all other media equipment. Technology use is
for educational purposes only; it is a privilege and not a right. Logs are maintained for Internet activity
and print jobs. Internet sites will be monitored, filtered, and blocked for non-educational content
including, but not limited to, pornography, obscenity, personal email, social networking, and games.
Students attempting to access sites of non-educational content are considered to be misusing school
technology. There will be consequences in accordance with DeLaSalle’s established discipline policies
that may result in restriction of privileges, probation, or dismissal from DeLaSalle.
Desktop computers are available for student use in the computer lab (Room B201) and the Library &
Technology Center. All other desktop computers in the building are off-limits to students. Students who
attempt to use computers not designated for student use or who violate school policies for acceptable use
will face disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
Students are expected to:
1. Use all technology in accordance with the mission and philosophies of DeLaSalle and in a
legitimate manner.
2. Never use technology without supervision.
3. Sign-in with their school issued user account; log off the computer when finished

DeLaSalle Email and Responsible Use Policy
Students are provided an Islander Apps email account primarily for communication with members of the
DeLaSalle community. It is intended as an official communication tool and should only to be used for
schoolwork. It is not intended to be used for communication of a personal nature. Unless otherwise
notified by school staff, students should only expect delivery of messages sent to or from DeLaSalle
domains (i.e. delasalle.com, apps.delasalle.com, studentapps.delasalle.com) provided they pass through
school filters.
Email messages sent from students adhere to the following disclaimer and may include a hyperlink to
this web page:
“This email, including any attachments, is confidential and intended solely for the use of the
individual or group to whom it is addressed. Any views or opinions presented are solely
those of the author and do not represent those of DeLaSalle High School. If you are not the
intended recipient, be advised that you have received this email in error and that any use,
dissemination, forwarding, printing or copying of this email is strictly prohibited.”
However, students should not expect privacy in their communication, as digital communication is
inherently insecure as DeLaSalle reserves the right to inspect all messages.
Inbound and outbound email messages and attachments are monitored for viruses, profanity, offensive
language, racist and/or sexual comments, virus hoaxes, chain mail, known spam mailers and other
malware or inappropriate content. DeLaSalle High School reserves the right to intercept, store, archive,
delete, or view emails for security/audit purposes and, where necessary, instigate appropriate
proceedings against the parties involved. Even though emails are scanned for viruses and other malware,
this does NOT guarantee such messages are free of malware. The recipient is responsible to ensure they
are malware-free. DeLaSalle High School accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by receiving
emails from our email system.
All electronic communication must be used in a responsible manner consistent with other educational
communications. Responsible use includes:
 Not forwarding/sending an email to a third party obtained from an individual that the individual
reasonably expects to be confidential
 Not posting materials that are of a fraudulent, defamatory, harassing, or threatening nature
 Not sending chain emails or spam
 Not unlawfully soliciting or exchanging copies of copyrighted software via electronic means.
DeLaSalle expects all members of the school community to use computing and information technology
resources in a responsible manner, respecting the public trust through which these resources have been
provided, the rights and privacy of others, the integrity of facilities and controls, state and federal laws,
and school policies and standards.
Email can be a valuable tool for sending and replying to messages easily and quickly as well as reaching
a wide audience. Email messages can also be forwarded, re-forwarded, printed, or permanently stored by
any recipient. Students should keep this in mind when composing a message. Email does not convey the
subtleties of body language, voice intonation, or other cues with which we express. Students should
avoid attempts at irony or sarcasm. The most effective email is short, clear, and relevant.
If a message makes you angry or upset, allow time to pass before responding. By waiting to reply, you
may better understand the sender's meaning and your reply will be more moderate when your anger has
subsided.

31
Sometimes email is incorrectly addressed. If you receive a message intended for someone else, return it
and let the sender know it was sent incorrectly.
Most email systems allow responses to be sent to all recipients of a message. Consider whether this is
appropriate before using this feature. It may be better to reply to only the sender. Avoid indiscriminate
forwarding of messages. If you have doubts about forwarding a message, ask permission from the
sender first. Information useful to one person may be unnecessary to others. When sending messages to
multiple recipients, consider your distribution list carefully.
Email messages are files, and take up computer space, just like any other data. Check your mailbox
every school day, at a minimum. Delete messages when they are no longer needed. Limit the size of any
attachments, especially when sending to multiple recipients. Sending large files can cause undue
network, server and Internet traffic and diminish available bandwidth to all users worldwide.
By following the above guidelines and using common sense, you will find it easy to be a good digital
citizen!
Telephones
Personal cell phones are not allowed during the school day. Students may use the phone in the Main or
Student Services Office if they need to contact a parent or employer while school is in session. Parents
may also contact the Main Office if they need to reach a student during the school day.
Many cell phones have camera and audio or video recording capabilities. Unauthorized photographs or
video and audio recordings of the school, students, teachers and staff, school property, or school-related
events are strictly prohibited. Violations of this policy are subject to the school’s discipline policy and
may result in discipline up to and including dismissal.
Textbooks
At the beginning of each school year and/or semester, each student may be provided with textbooks.
Students are required to return these and other loaned materials in good condition at the end of the
course. Families must compensate DeLaSalle for damaged or lost books and materials. Payments are
made in the Student Services Office. If a lost book is later recovered in good condition, families will
receive a refund.
Transportation
DeLaSalle’s Director of Transportation coordinates all busing service for DeLaSalle students and is
available to handle questions or concerns about student transportation.
All school mus routes will begin service the first day of school. Morning routes are designed to arrive at
DeLaSalle at 8:15am. Afternoon buses leave the school at 3:10pm. Buses drop off students in the
morning on DeLaSalle Drive. Loading for after school departure occurs primarily on DeLaSalle Drive
and East Island Avenue.
DeLaSalle provides busing service for some students who do not reside within Minneapolis city limits
and meet state busing guidelines regarding proximity to school. DeLaSalle also provides busing service
for some students outside the Minneapolis city limits, provided routing may be efficiently scheduled to
meet school start times. To make a request for busing service for a student living outside of
Minneapolis, parents/guardians must complete a Busing Agreement Contract as soon as student
enrollment is confirmed. The Busing Agreements are available online and should be submitted to the
Main Office.
When students are being transported to and from school or for a school-sponsored activity, they are
reminded that all school regulations are in effect.
32
Bus service rules and regulations exist to protect the safety and welfare of each student riding a school
bus. Students who ride school buses must sign a contract that states they will abide by busing rules. Any
student who misbehaves on the bus will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
Parents and students should review these safety rules:
1. Only students assigned to the bus route may ride the bus.
2. Be at the bus stop a few minutes before designated stop time. Board the bus in a safe and
orderly fashion. Take a seat promptly and remain seated throughout the ride. When exiting the
bus, wait until it comes to a complete stop, and then exit the bus in an orderly fashion.
3. Always follow the instructions of the bus driver, coach, or moderator.
4. Respect the school bus as property. Vandalism or damage to the vehicle will be billed to the
student and parent(s).
5. Behave in an appropriate manner. Fighting, smoking, abusive language, “horseplay” or being
disrespectful to the bus driver or chaperone will not be tolerated and will be subject to
disciplinary action. Do not bring sharp objects on the bus.
6. Keep noise level to a minimum so the bus driver is not distracted. Never put arms, head, feet,
or any object out the bus window.
7. Refrain from bringing animals (except for guide dogs) onto the bus.
Public Transportation
Metro Transit bus routes serving both St. Paul and Minneapolis stop daily and regularly at DeLaSalle
High School. Contact Metro Transit directly at 612.373.3333 for route information. Metro Transit
student bus and To-Go passes are available for purchase in the DeLaSalle Business Office: $13.50 for
a 10 ride bus pass, and various prices for the To-Go cards.
Driving to DeLaSalle
In order to control unauthorized use of DeLaSalle’s parking lot during school hours, it is necessary
that every car bear a valid parking permit. Permits may be purchased at the beginning of the school
year from the Main Office. Twelfth grade students are given priority in purchasing parking permits.
Please see http://www.delasalle.com/dls-information/directions-parking for purchase dates. It is the
driver’s responsibility to ensure proper display of the permit. Student parking permits are $200.00?
and are valid for a single school year. Depending upon availability, temporary daily parking permits
may be purchased in the Main Office for $2.00 per day. Unauthorized vehicles may be detained or
towed at the owner’s expense. DeLaSalle reserves the right to revoke parking permits for any reason,
including but not limited to reckless driving around the school area or at off-campus school events.
All parking permit sales are final. No refunds or proration for any reason. DeLaSalle is not
responsible for theft or damage to vehicles or items within.

IX. Financial Policies

Fundraising
All financial matters and activities within the school affect the operation of DeLaSalle’s development
and fundraising initiatives and are, therefore, under the direct supervision of the President. No money or
gifts-in-kind, nor any fundraising drives, collections, raffles, etc., may be solicited in the name of
DeLaSalle without the written approval of the President. Additionally, student-generated fundraising
must have the written approval of the Student Council, Director of Student Activities, and the
Principal’s Council, prior to gaining the approval of the President. Money collected from student-
generated fundraising for school purposes must be turned in to the Business Office by 3:30 p.m. on the
day it is collected. All checks should be made payable to DeLaSalle High School.

33
Tuition
General Terms and Conditions
Students will not be registered for courses until a completed Enrollment Contract along with each
student’s registration deposit have been submitted. Tuition Agreements will not be issued for
students who have not completed the registration process (signed an Enrollment Contract, paid the
registration deposit and completed their course requests). A student is not enrolled and may not
attend DeLaSalle without an executed Tuition Agreement.
Financially responsible parties agree to remain current with tuition invoicing as stated in their Tuition
Agreement and further agree that:
 Finance charges may be assessed at a rate of 0.67% / month (8% annually) on balances over
30 days past due.
 Past due accounts not brought current within 30 days may result in removal of a student from
attendance until satisfactory arrangements are made with the Business Office.

Tuition for the 2015 - 2016 school year is $11,995??, which includes the non-refundable registration
deposit of $350. Each student’s tuition account must be kept current according to the contractual
arrangements between the parent/guardian and DeLaSalle as established at the time of executing each
student’s Tuition Contract. It is the policy of the DeLaSalle Board of Trustees not to allow any
student to attend classes if his or her tuition account is not current. A student whose tuition account is
not current may be un-enrolled from DeLaSalle, or may not be permitted to take semester final
exams. Official transcripts will not be forwarded until all financial obligations to DeLaSalle are
satisfied.
Twelfth graders whose financial obligations have not been completed by April 20th, in addition to the
above, may not be permitted to participate in Commencement ceremonies, nor will these students
receive their diploma or official transcripts until all financial obligations to DeLaSalle have been
satisfied.
Families making monthly tuition payments must use a payment system of automatic monthly
deductions from a responsible party’s checking account, savings account or by credit card.
Arrangements for automatic-debits are made by completing each student’s Tuition Agreement. The
terms and conditions of this Handbook and the Tuition Agreement apply until all monies owed to
DeLaSalle have been paid in full regardless of a student’s enrollment status at DeLaSalle. Non-
standard tuition payment arrangements must be agreed upon in writing in advance with the Business
Office and may require the completion of additional paperwork.
Tuition for Withdrawal Students
In the event that a student withdraws from DeLaSalle during the school year, tuition will be charged
as follows:
 If the withdrawal date happens before the 3rd week of the semester, 90% of tuition for that
semester will be refunded.
 If the withdrawal date happens after the 3rd week of the semester, tuition for that semester
will be charged in full.
34
  If tuition has been paid in full for a withdrawing student, the party responsible for the tuition
payment may submit a written refund request to DeLaSalle’s Business Office. The refund will
be delayed or reduced if school property (textbooks, library resources, athletic uniforms, etc.)
has not been returned. Fees charged in addition to tuition are non-refundable. Both
DeLaSalle’s Principal and Director of Finance must approve all refund requests prior to
disbursement of funds.
Financial Aid Terms and Conditions
There are two types of financial aid at DeLaSalle High School, 1) need-based aid, and 2) academic-
based aid. If a student receives any financial aid, DeLaSalle requests that the student, parent or
guardian, or both, write a thank you that DeLaSalle may share with the many generous donors who
make a DeLaSalle education possible for our students. The most effective thank you notes come from
the heart and explain how the grant or scholarship personally benefit the family. Notes and letters
should be directed to:
Development Office
c/o DeLaSalle High School
1 DeLaSalle Drive
Minneapolis, MN 55401

Paul that are not specifically listed in the Tuition Agreement may reduce DeLaSalle’s portion of any
financial aid award, if applicable. Such grant or scholarship funds must be received directly by
DeLaSalle from the organization.
The minimum qualifications for renewal of a DeLaSalle Presidential scholarship are:
 Student must earn a minimum 3.0 grade point average each semester; and,
 Student must have no serious conduct issues.

Failure to meet the minimum qualifications will result in the scholarship not being renewed the
following year.
Need-Based Aid
The following terms and conditions apply to recipients of need-based financial aid grants or
scholarships. Financial aid from any organization other than DeLaSalle or the Archdiocese of
Minneapolis and St. Paul that are specifically listed in the Tuition Agreement may reduce DeLaSalle’s
portion of any financial aid award, if applicable. Such grant or scholarship funds must be received
directly by DeLaSalle from the organization.
To receive 100% of the finanical aid award offered, a student must complete ten hours of work-service
between June 2015 and May 2016. Further, families acknowledge that:
 Work-service represents twenty percent of a student’s total financial aid award.
 If, for any reason, the student does not satisfy the work-service obligation, any unmet portion
of the obligation will be charged at a rate of two percent of the total financial aid award per
unmet hour.
 The student is responsible for completing work-service as scheduled.

35
  Parents/Guardians are responsible for scheduling and ensuring that their student’s work-
service obligation is satisfied.
It is not acceptable to miss work-service because of school disciplinary consequences, routine medical
appointments, or co-curricular activity participation. Failure to complete the work-service obligation in
accordance with DeLaSalle policy may result in dismissal from the work-service program and forfeiture
of up to twenty percent of the total finanical aid award.

X. IslePad Program
In an effort to advance educational achievement for all students, DeLaSalle has implemented a 1:1
technology initiative and to distribute an Apple iPad tablet device to every student. This implementation
puts them not only at the forefront of becoming 21st century learners, but also affords each student the
opportunity to become a responsible digital citizen.
The policies, procedures, and information within this manual apply to all devices (iPads) and related
accessories (power cords, covers, etc) used at DeLaSalle High School, including any other mobile
device considered by the Administration to become part of this technology initiative and covered by this
policy. Teachers may set additional requirements for use in their classroom.
Receipt and Care of Tablet Device
Distribution of Device
For the 2015-2016 school year iPad tablet devices (herein after referred to as “device”) will be
distributed during summer School Orientation Sessions. Parents and students must complete, sign and
return all necessary documents, including appendices to this manual before the device will be issued
to their child. Documents will be furnished to families prior to the Orientation sessions. Please
review the Tablet Device Protection Plan appendix included in this Handbook which outlines two
options for families to protect the tablet device investment. All devices must be insured through one
of the two plans outlined.
Technology Orientation
All families are required to register and attend a School Orientation session before the school year
starts. There are several sessions available for you to choose from. These orientations provide an
overview of the upcoming school year, ensure that you have turned in all forms required by the
school and other organizations, and allow us to distribute iPads to students.
Caring for Your Tablet
Students are responsible for the general care of the device issued by DeLaSalle. Devices that are
broken or fail to work properly must be taken to the Library & Technology Center for an evaluation
of the equipment. Students are responsible for bringing a fully charged device to school each day.
General Precautions
Each device is the property of DeLaSalle High School and all users are expected to abide by and are
subject to the policies, including but not limited to all disciplinary policies in this manual.
1. Only use a clean, soft cloth to clean the screen, no cleansers of any type
2. Cables must be inserted carefully into the device to prevent damage. Only one cable and
power adapter will be given to each student. It is their responsibility to take care of and
replace if needed.
3. Devices must remain free of writing, drawing, stickers, or labels that are not property of
DeLaSalle High School
4. Devices must never be left in an unlocked locker, unlocked car, or any unsupervised area
5. Students are responsible for keeping their device’s battery charged for school each day
36
 Carrying Devices
Protective cases have been provided by DeLaSalle for each student-issued device. All devices must
be within the school-issued. There will be no exceptions.
Screen Care
Device screens can be damaged if subject to rough treatment. The screens are particularly sensitive to
damage from excessive pressure on the screen. Please be mindful that devices are sensitive.
1. Do not lean on the top of the devices when it is closed
2. Do not place anything on or near the device that could put pressure on the screen
3. Do not place anything in the carrying case that will press against the cover
4. Clean the screen with a soft dry cloth or anti-static cloth
5. Do not bump the device against lockers, walls, car doors, floors, etc.
6. Do not stow in extreme weather conditions such as heat, cold, or rain
Using Your Tablet
Tablet devices are intended for school use each day. In addition to teacher expectations for device use,
school messages, announcements, calendars, the Student Handbook and schedules may be accessed
using the tablet device. Students must bring their device to all classes, unless specifically instructed not
to do so by their teacher.
Not Having Your Device at School
If students fail to bring their device to school, they may check with to see if a loaner is available in
the LTC. If not, they are responsible for completing course work as though they had their device
with them. Students who forget to bring their device to school will be issued a minor violation.
Device Maintenance and Repair
Loaner devices may be issued to students when they leave their device for repair in the Library &
Technology Center. There may be a delay in getting a device should DeLaSalle not have enough
available to loan.
Charging Your Device
Devices must be brought to school each day in a fully charged condition. Students need to charge
their devices each evening. Students are considered unprepared for class if their device is not charged
and will receive a minor violation. Additional offenses will result in more severe consequences.
Screensavers and Background Images
Any media or image deemed inappropriate by DeLaSalle administration may not be used as a
screensaver or background photo. The presence of guns, weapons, pornographic material,
inappropriate language, alcohol, drug, gang related symbols or pictures will result in disciplinary
actions.
Sound, Music, Games, Apps
Students are permitted to use the device for personal use. However, doing so cannot be distracting to
the educational setting. During school classroom hours it should be used strictly for educational
activities. The device should not include any games, music, or apps that would conflict with the
mission and philosophies of DeLaSalle High School. Use of the device in school must be primarily
for education.
1. Sound must be muted at all times unless permission is obtained from the teacher for
instructional purposes
2. Personal Listening Devices (head phones, ear buds) are not permitted to be used with the
device during the school day
37
 3. Music is allowed on the device and can be used at the discretion of the teacher
4. Internet based games are not allowed on the devices. Device based games are permissible but
are not to be used during school class time
5. Students may purchase apps for personal use. However this must be done on the student’s
own account (Apple ID/iTunes account for iPads). Students should be aware devices may be
updated and/or synchronized by DeLaSalle periodically. Typically, apps not loaded by the
school may be wiped out as part of this process. Students and families are responsible to
back-up personal apps and data. DeLaSalle is not responsible for lost or damaged
applications.
Printing
Wireless printing is not available with the tablet devices at DeLaSalle.
Internet Access
Students are allowed to set up Wi-Fi networks on the device. This will assist them with device use
while at home. Students are cautioned against connecting to unsecured wireless networks as this may
expose the device to viruses, identity theft, malware and various other threats and hacking attacks.
Managing Files and Saving Work
Saving to the Device / Home Directory
Students may save work on their device; however, students are responsible for backing up there own
files. Lost work is not the responsibility of the school or technology staff. It is recommended that all
important schoolwork files be backed up to the student’s Islander Apps account, iCloud account
and/or personal media. Student conducted backups of the iPad (via iTunes or other means) should not
be encrypted (i.e. password protected) or the device may need to be wiped and all data lost. Storage
space is available on the tablets—BUT DeLaSalle is NOT responsible for lost work in the case of re-
imaging, operating system upgrades, syncs and/or device failure. It is the student’s responsibility to
ensure that work is not lost due to mechanical failure or accidental deletion. Device malfunctions are
not an acceptable excuse for not submitting work.
Network Connectivity
DeLaSalle High School makes no guarantee that the school network will be up and running 100% of
the time. In the rare case that the network is down, the school is not responsible for lost or missing
data.
Tablet Software
Any changes or altering to the device’s original operating system including jail breaking is strictly
prohibited. Any case of jail breaking will result in discipline, including but not limited to suspension
from classes and financial restitution to the school for damages incurred.
Originally Installed Software
The operating system, applications (apps) and digital books (e-books) originally installed by
DeLaSalle must remain on the device in usable condition and be easily accessible at all times.
Periodically, the school may update the operating system; add apps and e-books for use in a particular
course. The licenses for this software may require that the software be deleted from devices upon
completion of the course.
Additional Software
Students are responsible for any additional software they put on their device. DeLaSalle is not
responsible for any personal software that is lost; such software must follow the same guidelines
covered in the Sound, Music Games, Apps section above.

38
 Inspection
DeLaSalle reserves the right to inspect devices on demand. Students may be selected at random and
without notice to provide their device for inspection.
Procedure for re-loading software
If technical difficulties occur or illegal software is discovered, the device may be re-imaged.
DeLaSalle does not accept responsibility for the loss of any software or documents deleted due to a
re-format and/or re-image.
Software Updates
Updates of licensed software and applications are available from time to time. Students may be
required to check in their devices for periodic updates and syncing. Students are not allowed to
update the operating system or remove apps and e-books without the school’s consent.
Acceptable Use
Use of DeLaSalle High School’s technology resources is a privilege, not a right. The privilege of using
technology resources provided by DeLaSalle is not transferable or extendable by students to people or
groups outside DeLaSalle and terminates when a student is no longer enrolled at DeLaSalle High
School. This policy is provided to make all users aware of the responsibilities associated with efficient,
ethical, and lawful use of technology resources. If a person violates any of the terms and conditions
named herein, privileges may be terminated, access to school technology resources may be denied, and
appropriate disciplinary action shall be applied. DeLaSalle’s procedures in the Student/Parent Handbook
shall be applied to student infractions.
Violations may result in disciplinary action up to and including suspension and expulsion for students.
When applicable, law enforcement agencies may be involved.
Parent/Guardian Responsibilities
Talk to your children about values and the standards that your children should follow when using the
Internet just as you do regarding the use of all media information sources such as television,
telephone, movie, and radio. If your student seems distracted by the device, one option is to restrict
use of the device in their bedroom overnight. The device could then be on a charging station outside
of their room, which would help avoid distractions during sleep and assure the device will be charged
for the next day.

Repairing / Replacing Your Tablet
Tablet Device Insurance
The device is the property of DeLaSalle High School, and has been purchased by DeLaSalle. The
school does provide coverage for software malfunctions of the device that are covered under
warranty, but does not cover the device for physical damage, theft or loss.
Devices that are physically damaged must be returned to the DeLaSalle Library & Technology
Center for repair. When submitting a repair claim an explanation of where and when the accidental
damage occurred with a detailed description of the actual event must be provided.
Insurance protection for physical damage as a result of accidental occurrences must be purchased
through DeLaSalle High School in one of two ways:
1. Annual Protection Plan: this plan covers the device for the current school year against
accidental physical damage to the device. This insurance plan costs $50 per year and has a
$20 co-pay per claim with a maximum of two claims per school year. Families are
responsible for all repair costs after the second occurrence during the school year. This
option does not protect against loss or theft.
2. Deposit Protection Plan: this plan covers the device for the current school year in the event
that the device incurs physical damage. Families make a security deposit for the total value of
the device, which must remain on hand for the entire school year. In the event of damage to
the device, the family will be responsible for paying the repair cost. If no damage has
incurred upon return of the device to the school, the security deposit will be destroyed. This
insurance plan does protect against loss or theft. This insurance plan requires a $399 deposit
per year, per device. The full deposit of $399 must be on hand at all times. If damage
occurs, the cost must be paid in full or the check will be cashed.
Summary of Coverage Options:

42
 Theft or Loss
DeLaSalle High School loans devices to students for school use. The student is ultimately responsible
for the device, and as such, is responsible for ensuring that the device is not lost or stolen. In the
event that the device is lost or stolen, the family will be responsible for the full replacement cost of
the device. Devices that are lost or stolen must be immediately reported to DeLaSalle Library &
Technology Center, and a police report may be required. Lost or stolen devices are the responsibility
of the family and will be charged appropriately.
Cost of Repairs
General
Families will be held responsible for all damage to their device including, but not limited to: broken
screens, cracked plastic pieces, inoperability, etc. Should the cost to repair exceed the cost of
purchasing a new device, the family will pay full replacement value. Lost items such as cables and
accessories will be charged the actual replacement cost.
Note: disciplinary action may result for any student regardless of the insurance plan selected whose
device is damage multiple times in any school year.
In cases of theft, vandalism and other criminal acts, a police report, or in the case of fire, a fire report
must be filed by the student or parent and a copy of the report must be provided to DeLaSalle for
insurance plan protection to take place.
Intentional Damage
All families are responsible for full payment of intentional damages to devices. DeLaSalle’s Annual
and Deposit Protection Plans described above DO NOT cover intentional damage. In the event of
intentional damage, the entire amount of repair cost must be paid before the reissue of a replacement
device to a student.
Further, incidents of intentional damage are reported to the Dean of Students’ and will result in
disciplinary action.
Damage Resulting from Negligence
DeLaSalle’s Annual and Deposit Protection Plans described above DO NOT insure against damage
resulting from negligence. In the event of negligent damage to the device, the entire amount of repair
cost must be paid before the reissue of a replacement device to a student. Further, incidents of
damage resulting from negligence are reported to the Dean of Students’ and may result in disciplinary
action.
Insurance Limitations
DeLaSalle Administration reserves the right to limit the availability of insurance options to any
family for any reason. The following liability limitations exists for the Annual Insurance Plan:
1. A per occurrence limit of $399.00 applies to each repair or replacement due to covered
damage. For any one loss, families are required to pay for replacement equipment having a
manufacturer’s suggested retail value of, or for repair costs that are, more than the per
occurrence limit.
2. An aggregate occurrence limit of two replacements or repairs will be allowed per device for
the current school year. Families are responsible for all repair costs after the second
occurrence during the school year.

43
Returning Your Device
Returning Your Device
Students will return their device at the end of the school year so they can be checked for
serviceability and updated for the subsequent school year. Students who terminate enrollment at
DeLaSalle for any reason must return their device on the date of termination. Devices must be
returned in good, working condition. Jail broken devices or devices with no serial number would be
examples of devices not returned in good working condition. It is the sole discretion of DeLaSalle
High School to make determinations on device condition.
Fines/Penalties
Individual school devices and accessories must be returned to the DeLaSalle Library & Technology
Center at the end of the school year. If a student fails to return the device at the end of the school year
or upon termination of enrollment at DeLaSalle, that student may be subject to criminal prosecution
or civil liability. The student will also pay the replacement cost of the device, or, if applicable, any
insurance deductible. Failure to return the device will result in a theft report being filed with
Minneapolis Police.
Furthermore, families are responsible for any damage to the device, not covered in DeLaSalle High
School’s Tablet Device Protection Plan and must return the device and any accessories to the
DeLaSalle Library & Technology Center in satisfactory condition. Families will be charged a fee for
any needed repairs, not to exceed the replacement cost of the device not covered by their insurance
plan.

44
 APPENDIX A - Tablet Device Protection Plan

DeLaSalle recognizes a need exists to protect the investment of both Students/Parents and DeLaSalle. The
following outlines two available insurance plans. All families are required to purchase one of these two forms of
insurance before a student is allowed to receive a device. Please check the box next to your insurance choice.

□ Annual Protection Plan

DeLaSalle offers a protection plan for students and parents to cover devices for the current school year against
accidental physical damage to the device. The cost of the Annual Protection Plan is $50 per year and is non-
refundable. There is a $20 co-pay per claim with a maximum of two claims per school year. Families are
responsible for all repair costs after the second occurrence during the school year. This option does not protect
against loss or theft. Annual coverage begins upon receipt of payment and ends at the conclusion of each
school year. This plan does not protect against the loss or theft of the device.

□ Deposit Protection Plan

Families agree to pay all associated costs relating to device replacement not to exceed $399.00 (per device)
should the device be stolen, lost or damaged in any way. A deposit of the full amount is required to be
submitted to DeLaSalle before a student is allowed to receive a device. This deposit will only be cashed upon
notice of damage, loss, or theft.

of the police/fire report must be provided to DeLaSalle.

INTENTIONAL DAMAGE: Families are responsible for full payment of intentional damages to devices. The
DeLaSalle Sponsored Protection Plan and the Deposit Plan DO NOT cover intentional damage of devices.
