Message from the President
Dear Parents,
As you know, we are now in the full
swing of our Catholic Lasallian Assessment Process (CLASP). Thanks to those of
you who completed the survey. Many of you might ask what this process is about.
The Assessment Process has
been created to fulfill several important purposes: -
To provide for an
internal review and self-assessment of the school, as well as an external,
objective assessment;
-
To serve as a source of
encouragement and positive reinforcement for the good taking place within the school;
-
To identify critical
needs and issues and assist the school in creating and implementing a multi-year growth plan that addresses critical needs and issues;
-
To assess how the school
contributes to the educational service of the poor (Christian Brothers, General
Chapter, Proposition 12).
The focus of CLASP is to view the
Lasallian mission and qualities through the lens of school culture. Culture is
a set of values, beliefs, common understanding, thinking and norms for behavior
that are shared by all members of the school. School culture is defined by the
presence of a set of norms and values that focuses everyone's attention on what
is most important and motivates them to work toward a common purpose. School
culture is the primary communicator of the Lasallian mission and values.
Students and staff alike are absorbed into the spirit and values of the
school's culture.
The Board of Trustees uses the CLASP
report to ensure that we are in compliance with the policies of the Lasallian
Education Corporation. As President, I am charged by the Board with the
following Executive Limitation 2.2 which states that the CEO shall not fail to:
"lead the school in District-sponsored assessment processes related to the
school's Catholic and Lasallian character, as well as its Religious Studies
Program, and respond to these assessments annually."
This will be our second CLASP review.
Many of you were not here during the first review, and I think it is important
for you to know what the commendations and recommendations were in 2004:
Exemplary Best Practices: Recommended Practices to Improve:
Continue efforts to
expand service learning, as a structured, systematic, integral component of the
school's curriculum involving all students in the school;
Expand the 4-year retreat
program to involve every student; - Add small group liturgies
(individual classes) and liturgies for all students in a grade to the current school-wide
liturgies;
Continue efforts to
connect the content of the religion curriculum to real life; - Continue efforts to
improve outreach to the 5% minimum (Bishop John S. Cummins Scholarship
Program).
I look forward to sharing the result of our
next CLASP with you.
In
the Spirit of St. John Baptist de La Salle,
Mark DeMarco

 Assistant Principal for Academic Life
We have completed nearly a month
of the second semester, and our students are well into their academic course
work for this second half of the year.
The students are also beginning to think of course selections for next
year. At this time, please note the
following:
REPORT CARDS: First
semester report cards were mailed on January 11. These report cards reflect the work of the entire first
semester and are permanent grades stored on the student's transcript. Please continue to look at PowerSchool
as appropriate in order to be aware of how your son is progressing during this
second semester.
We encourage you to have your son
get additional help as necessary from his teachers during our 7th
period. A copy of the tutorial
schedule is available on our website and is posted in the Student Services Building
as well. Please contact your son's
teacher if you have a concern regarding your son's academic progress. The library is open until 5:00 p.m.
each day to provide an extra study environment for your son. The Hofmann Center
is also open after school.
ACADEMIC PROBATION/F
GRADES: Students who fall below a 2.0 GPA are placed on
academic probation. Probation
letters were sent home in January.
Any student who earned an "F" at semester should have taken the
following action by now:
Seen their counselor if they are freshmen,
sophomores or juniors; seen Mrs. Mattos if they are seniors. Please note that all
semester "F" grades earned by underclassmen must be made up at night school or
summer school before the beginning of the next school year. All seniors must
make up "F" grades earned before a diploma will be issued. Freshmen, sophomores
or juniors must submit a contract for deficient credits with a plan for course
make up signed by parents and counselors. All "F" grades are permanent grades
to the transcript and will be calculated into the GPA. Once a student has
repeated the class in summer school, the new grade is shown on the transcript,
but is NEVER calculated into the GPA. However, if the "F" grade was in
Mathematics or World Language for the first semester, and the student receives
a second semester grade of a "C" or better, then the student can petition to
have the first semester grade changed to a "D." This only applies to sequential
classes such as math and world languages. Students who receive a "D" in
any class: Colleges and universities expect students to improve this grade
by taking the course again in summer school or at a junior college to be
eligible for admission into a four-year college.
ATHLETIC/ACTIVITY ELIGIBILITY:
Athletic and activity eligibility was recently determined based on semester grades. Letters were mailed to the homes of
applicable students. If you have
questions about this, please contact Mrs. Szczepanski at szczepanskim@dlshs.org.
PREREGISTRATION: Freshmen,
sophomores and juniors start the pre-registration process during the first week
of February. The counselors are
going into the classrooms to discuss the process, course selections and
timeline, with all students. This
year, in our effort to "go green," the 2010-2011 Course Catalog
will be available online only and paper copies of the Course Catalog will not be distributed to students. We will hold a Parents' Drop-In Meeting
for scheduling questions or issues on Thursday, February 4, from 6:00 to 7:15 p.m. in the Hofmann Center for
parents of freshmen and sophomores.
Following this meeting, we will hold our first AP Information Night at 7:30 p.m. in the Hofmann Center for all parents
and students interested in AP classes.
This is being coordinated with Carondelet High School. There will also
be a Meeting for Parents of Juniors with the college counselors on Wednesday, February 3, at 7:00 p.m. in the DLS Theatre. This meeting is
to discuss both college planning as well as looking at appropriate course
selections for our juniors as they plan for their senior year and beyond.
Please note: STUDENTS WILL BE REGISTERING FOR
THEIR CLASSES ONLINE. Detailed information and instructions for enrolling for
classes and printing the course selections will be given to the students during
registration week. Students must
print out their course selections, obtain your signature, and return this sheet
to their counselor during the registration weeks. If students do not have access to a computer at home, the
course requests can be printed at school. It is very important that students
and parents under- stand that the master schedule is built upon student
requests at this time of year.
Therefore, only minor adjustments should be made over the summer. By taking the time now, you avoid many difficulties and
little choice later.
If you have questions about this process,
contact Mrs. Mattos at mattosm@dlshs.org
or call (925) 288-8101.

DIABLO
VALLEY COLLEGE VISIT: Diablo
Valley College representatives will come to De La Salle on March 8 to provide
interested students with information about attending DVC. Announcements will be
made ahead of time to remind students to sign up on Naviance
to attend the information session. They will return in late March to administer
their Math and English Assessment to students planning to attend community
college next fall. The tests are used for placement purposes. Students will
also fill out applications to DVC and make appointments for required advising
sessions later in the spring. The
tests may also be accepted by community colleges other than DVC. Check with the
college counselors if you have questions about this.
CSU ELM/EPT
REGISTRATION: CSU
applicants should be receiving information from the individual campuses on the
ELM (Entry Level Math test) and EPT (English Placement Test) required of many
applicants. Students are strongly encouraged to take the test(s) no
later than the March 20 test date this year. For more information go to www.testing.csuhayward.edu, or to www.csumentor.edu. Students may take the
tests at the nearest CSU campus; they do not need to take it at the campus that
they are considering. Information is also available on the counseling page of the
DLS website and in the documents file on Naviance.
CSU HOUSING
APPLICATIONS: For
seniors planning on attending a CSU campus, NOW is the time to apply for
housing at many campuses, before the student has actually decided to
attend. Many CSU campuses do not have enough housing for all freshmen; and to
have an opportunity to live on campus, students must submit a preliminary
application ASAP. Check on the individual campus websites for the housing
application policies, as they vary by campus; and while many of them encourage
early housing applications, some do not allow students to apply before they
make their decision to attend.
SCHOLARSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES: A monthly
listing for current scholarships continues to be available in the College Center,
on Naviance and on the Counseling Dept. page of the DLS website. Interested
seniors may pick up available applica- tions or apply online at any time. Scholarships
and special programs are available to juniors and sophomores as well.
FAFSA
and Cal Grant: Seniors should check Financial Aid
deadlines and forms required on each of their prospective colleges'
websites. Individual colleges
may have their own financial aid deadlines in January or February and may also
require forms in addition to the FAFSA (The Free Application for
Federal Student Aid-required by all colleges). Don't miss a deadline and miss
out on financial aid available from your college! Students and parents filling
out the FAFSA need to complete it online at www.fafsa.ed.gov
before the earliest deadline, even if they must estimate income and expenses
for 2009. The De La Salle Registrar will send the GPA Verification information to the Cal
Grant Program for all seniors. Seniors do NOT need to send in a separate form
for this program, but must submit their FAFSA by March 2 in order to be
eligible for a Cal Grant. Some merit based scholarships and awards also require
submission of the FAFSA, so it is a good idea for all students to fill it out,
even those who feel they won't qualify for financial aid.
Juniors
JUNIOR PARENTS' COLLEGE PLANNING AND ACADEMIC
ADVISING NIGHT: Be sure to
attend this important event on Wednesday, February 3, at 7:00 p.m. in the DLS
Theatre. The College Counselors will present essential information to guide the college
exploration and selection process. In addition, information for planning senior
year courses will be provided.
COLLEGE PLANNING MEETINGS FOR JUNIORS: Beginning the third week of January, DLS College
Counselors began meetings with small groups of juniors to formally start the
college planning and selection process, providing materials and information
crucial to making informed, realistic choices for college. We encourage parents
to sit down with their junior students to begin discussing the college search
process and a possible trip during spring break to visit different schools. If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dina Levi (A-K), (925) 288-8103,
or Janet Appel (L-Z), (925) 288-8128.
SUMMER
ACADEMIC/ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS AND CAMPS: Announcements and brochures for summer academic
and enrichment programs, both state and nationwide, are posted on the bulletin
board near the attendance area, on Naviance,
and on a list in the College Center and on the DLS website. Juniors,
especially, are invited to explore the possibility of summer programs as a
valuable addition to their activities. These programs offer a variety of new
and exciting experiences, and can also be a factor in the college admissions
process. Some of these programs have deadlines as early as February, so it's a
good idea to check out possibilities this month.
The following are just a small sample of
what's available:
For a listing of many
more programs, visit the College Center or check Naviance.
TESTING: See "Dates to Remember" (above) for spring test dates remaining. All colleges and universities
accept either the ACT or the SAT, and we encourage students to take both. To
register, visit: www.act.org and www.collegeboard.com.
Students should check the ACT website or check with the College Counselors to
see if the colleges they plan to apply to require the writing test, as students
may opt to include a writing section with their ACT (the writing test is
automatically included with the SAT). Students may want to use the May or June SAT test date for SAT Subject
tests, if the colleges they are applying to require them. Contact the College Counselors for
details.

THE SPARTAN CHARITY CHALLENGE BEGINS!This
annual fund raising event will be initiated during the Ash Wednesday prayer
service. For those new to De La
Salle, The Spartan Charity Challenge
represents De La Salle's commitment to benefiting our less fortunate brothers
and sisters, both at home and abroad. Each student, faculty and staff member is
asked to donate $10 during Lent. At the end of Lent we donate the funds to some very worthy causes. We
have three dedicated beneficiaries and one additional beneficiary every year.
Our three dedicated beneficiaries are: -
Nativity Village
School in Shinara Eritrea, which is our twin school. All first-world Lasallian Schools are twinned with a
third-world school to share their gifts.
-
We also benefit the
Delegation of the Christian Brothers in India. Many faculty members have had the honor of spending one
month each summer over the past several years with the Brothers and the young
people they serve in India and Sri Lanka.
Funds donated to the Indian Delegation aid the ministries where our
teachers have served.
-
A local beneficiary is
the DeMarillac Academy, a tuition-free school serving children in grades 4-8
who live in San Francisco's Tenderloin District. The Christian Brothers and the Daughters of Charity sponsor
the school, and many of our students volunteer after school as tutors there.
We have two additional
causes to help this year:
The Christian
Brothers' works and ministries in Haiti have been hard hit by the recent
earthquake;
The Christian
Brothers' schools and other ministries in the Philippines were devastated by
the typhoons which hit the region in the late summer and fall of 2009.
Br. Alvaro, the Superior
General of the Christian Brothers in Rome has asked all Lasallian schools to
come to the aid of their brothers and sisters in Haiti and the Philippines.
Last year we raised over
$14,000 and hope to better that amount this year. Many thanks for your support of our programs. God Bless, and a Happy and Holy Lent to
you!

In the Spotlight
Spotlight on Service Learning
As we continue to watch the news
about the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, we hear more and more about the
new threats to the livelihood of the people, primarily in the form of diseases
spreading. Much of this is due to
the lack of medical care and the lack of basic resources, especially for
personal hygiene, that many of us take for granted. It is especially in light of this reality that one of our
Service Learning projects takes on more significance for our freshmen.
As part of the required
curriculum of their Health courses, Mr. Selby and Mr. Castello have
incorporated the "Fresh Start Hygiene Kits" as a way to bring Service Learning
to our freshman students. The
motivation for these teachers, besides following one of the Lasallian core
principles of "Concern for the Poor and Social Justice," is their realization
that personal hygiene may be a subject that our students take for granted and
see as more of a chore than anything else. Through this Hygiene Kit Project our students come to
realize how vitally important good hygiene is, especially for those who need to
make a "Fresh Start."
After learning about the basics of hygiene and
personal care, each freshman student is required to obtain the following items:
shampoo/conditioner, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, deodorant, lotion,
and disposable razors. Once they
have compiled these items, they put them into gallon-size Ziploc® bags and prepare them
for distribution. These "Fresh
Start Hygiene Kits" are sent to St. Anthony's Foundation in the Tenderloin
neighborhood of San Francisco or they accompany the students participating in
Ven A Ver.
At first glance, the students may not understand
what kind of impact their hygiene kits actually have on these populations. Mr. Selby and Mr. Castello anticipate
this when conducting this project and challenge the students to think about
what the impact good personal hygiene and appearance have on people in need. As a follow-up to the distribution, the
students are asked to reflect upon the bigger, systemic questions, such as:
- Why are people in such need of these simple kits?
- How could this population benefit from a "fresh start"?
- What more can be done to serve the needs of these people?
What makes this project even more impacting
is the fact that all of these freshmen students will participate in the
Sophomore Immersion Program their next year of school. They will have the opportunity to see with
their own eyes the people these kits help. After hearing their stories, the
students have a much more complete picture of the importance of their service
as freshmen. Students also have
the opportunity to see what the things we usually take for granted can do for
those most in need. Most definitely, these are lessons that these students will
never forget!

Parents' Corner
As the New 2010 Year
begins, the Parent Association couldn't be busier with social, spiritual, and
fundraising activities. We have a burst of activities: Crab Feed, Senior Son/Mother Brunch,
Bacchanalia - A Celebration of Food and Wine, and Spring Auction at the
Blackhawk Auto Museum this year. This academic year will end
with the parent-sponsored Grad Night for
our soon-to-be-alumni.
Thank you, again, to all the
working hands that make supporting the school easy. The school remains a
vibrant and successful venue for our boys' education, in large part because of
support from parents and through Parent Association activities.
That being said, please give some
thought as to how you might like to get involved this year. We are always
open to volunteer help! Let us know at parent association@dlshs.org how
you would like to get involved next year, or just send us your
feedback on the different Parent Association events you attend.
Happy New Year and
Blessings for 2010.
- Tom &
Anne Marie Taylor, Parent Association

About Us
De La Salle High School was founded in 1965 as a
Catholic boys' high school in the Lasallian tradition of the Christian
Brothers. We come from a much longer and richer
tradition, however. Our roots extend more than 300 years to 17th
century
France and our Founder Saint John Baptist de La Salle who had a very
simple
vision of education: that the graduates of his Christian schools would
be
mature, responsible members of society and the Church.
As a Lasallian
school, we have an obligation to make a difference in each student's life so
that when they leave us they will serve others graciously and lovingly. We
cooperate with one another in a spirit of trust and care; our education is
practical, accessible to all, and comprehensive. We are committed to the
poor. We work together- Brothers, Faculty, Staff and Students.
