Parent Connection

Back-to-school night will be September 24th at 6:00 pm. This is an informational evening for the parents and caregivers of DeSales students. More details coming soon!

Please join us as we celebrate the first Mass of the school-year on Wednesday, September 9th at 9:40am.

The Cantors for Christ serve as the choir for the celebrations of Mass throughout the school year. They also sing for special occasions and community events.

Rehearsals are Fridays during Flex Period. Cantors receive vocal training at the beginning of each rehearsal, and earn extra credit on their Music grade for faithfully serving in song. Membership will only remain open until the end of September. Please sign up at the Music Room. Contact Mrs. Davis with any questions.

Please review and return the Student Contact Verification/Emergency Contact Forms as soon as possible. This is the form your child's teacher would have given you at the Opening Picnic.

Completed forms may be turned into the Main Office, sent into school with your student or emailed to Mrs. Jennifer Cottrell at cottrellj@desalescatholicschool.org.

Parents & Grandparents who wish to volunteer are required to be Virtus Trained. To sign up for training, please follow the link below.
