FEBRUARY 2016
DE LA SALLE HIGH SCHOOL
From the Principal’s Office
Dear Parents, Students, and Friends of De La Salle,
This just in: Lent begins on February 10th! Yes, you correctly read the statement.
Didn’t we just finish the Christmas/New Year holidays? The Church Calendar
likes to keep us on our toes. So, while December and January have fixed dates for
celebration, this is not the case with Lent and Easter. So, believe it or not, Ash
Wednesday is February 10. Don't say you haven’t been warned and, by the way, get
those “Mardi Gras” supplies now!
Now that I have your “calendar attention,” let me get to the theme I want to focus
on in this letter.
Brother Robert J.
Wickman, F.S.C.
Principal
High school has a beginning, middle, and end. Freshmen know much about beginnings; sophomores
and juniors specialize in being in “the thick of it”; and seniors are absorbed by the quickness and
significance of endings. Human life in this world has a similar feel: there is a beginning, middle, and end.
Because this is so, the Church is always finding ways to argue that we must use the time we have, limited
as it is, well. After all, ashes to ashes and dust to dust is not just a seasonal theme for Lent. It should be
in front of us all the time. What are we to do with the time we have?
Ash Wednesday is a day when the Church sounds an alarm with a question:
What are you doing with the times of your life?
We have ashes rubbed on our foreheads to remind us that we begin and we end. These ashes remind us
of our coming and our going and that nothing on this earth lasts forever in one recognizable form. These
ashes are a reminder that all is not complete with us from the beginning; all does not stay the same; and
that we believe in the necessity of movement as we place our weaknesses before God and each other and
look for wholeness. We say that we are sorry and want to do better. We ask for forgiveness. The ashes
given to us are a sign of limits and a sign of our need for conversion. How honest, how humble, how
real, and how human we are asked to be on Ash Wednesday!
Ash Wednesday is one big billboard as Christians of many traditions gather in churches and other places
to receive ashes and then walk past each other throughout the course of commuting, working, shopping,
etc. It’s the one day of the year when Christians visibly are marked with a sign of their faith. The ashes
on our foreheads are in the form of a cross. We publicly display the cross, the symbol of the innocent
death of Jesus, “God with us,” and a good and holy man, who freely takes up the work of bringing us
salvation. On Ash Wednesday we reclaim the Christian cross from the “bling-bling” world of some
celebrities and others who think of it as not much more than another accessory about which the shinier it
is, the better. But having the cross of ashes on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday is the easy part. The
SPARTAN SPOTLIGHT

harder part is figuring out how we show who we are as a people of faith, followers of Jesus, throughout the
year.
Perhaps this Ash Wednesday we can try again to figure that out. Perhaps, as we spend the forty days of Lent
in preparation for the Great Feast of Easter, we can move toward being, more and more, an ongoing and
visible sign of the good news of salvation that Jesus offers to each of us.
Are you at the beginning, the middle, or the end? It doesn't really matter. What matters is that you sense your
limits, know your goodness as God’s loved creation, acknowledge your weaknesses,
and ask for the grace to wear your faith, not just on your forehead, but in the
patterns of your life. This is what Jesus asks of us; this is what we should ask of
“What are
each other in our community at De La Salle High School.
May our Lenten journey this year be a time of examination, conversion, growth,
testing, and celebration. May we come to understand more fully that our lives
deepen in meaning as we sense our rhythms of beginning, middle, and end, making
the most of the time given to us here on earth.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!

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. Academic life is very busy these
days! 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 the third week of January.
These report cards reflect the work of the entire
first semester and are permanent grades that are
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
either during 7th period or after school as
appropriate. 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 his academic progress. You may also
wish to contact your son’s Counselor for
additional support. Please remember that the
Library is open until 5:00 pm each day to
provide an extra study environment for your
son. We also offer additional help in our
Academic Support Center (room 409) most
days until at least 5:00 pm. Students from the
National Honor Society and some of our AP
math students are also available to assist
students after school in the Library on Monday
and Tuesday. There is a designated area in the

Library for this purpose. The Hofmann Center is also open after school.
HONOR ROLL: Congratulations to our students who have made the honor roll for the first semester.
Honor designation is given to students who achieve a semester GPA of 3.5-3.74, and High Honors is given
to students with a GPA of 3.75 and above. A list of those students who have made the Honor Roll is
included in this newsletter on page 27.
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: returned the signed form to Mrs. Mattos and discussed the plan
for retaking the course, either through a DLS-approved online course or some other means. Please note
that all semester F’s earned by underclassmen must be made up through online classes, 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. 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. Students who received a D in any class should also
note that colleges and universities expect the student to improve this grade by taking it again in summer
school or at a junior college in order to be eligible for admission into a four-year college. Our Director of
Online Learning, Mr. Donald Van Bomel, can answer any questions about accredited and approved
courses that your son may choose to improve his grade. Mr. Van Bomel can be reached at: (925) 2888160, or [email protected].
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 any
questions about this, please contact Mrs. Szczepanski.
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 and
course selections with all students, as well as the timeline for pre-registration online. The course catalog is
now available ONLINE, and in our effort to be “green,” we do not issue paper copies of the booklet to
students.
We will hold a Parent Academic Advisement information meeting on Thursday, February 4th at 7:00 pm in
the Hofmann Student Center. This meeting will be simply informational about course selections and
procedures for underclassmen. There will also be a meeting for Junior parents with the college
counselors on Wednesday, February 3rd at 7:00 pm in the Theatre. This meeting is to discuss both college
planning. as well as to look at appropriate course selections for our Juniors as they plan for the senior year
and beyond.
Please note that 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 counselors during the registration weeks. There is a special

form required if upper division students
are requesting De La Salle only for their
classes, which must be turned in by
February 26th for consideration. In
addition, all applications for AP and
Honors courses are due on February 26th.
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 understand 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 any questions about this process,
please do not hesitate to call Mrs. Mattos at
(925) 288-8101, or contact your son’s
Counselor.

CSU ELM/EPT (PLACEMENT TEST) 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 21st test date; for most campuses the tests MUST be taken by May 2nd at the latest. For
more information go to https://www.ets.org/csu/about. Students may take the tests at the nearest CSU
campus; they do not need to take it at the campus that they are considering. (CSU Eastbay in Hayward
and Concord are good possibilities.)
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, so 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 – they vary by campus. While many of them encourage early housing
applications, some do not allow students to apply before they make their decision to attend. Some out-of
-state public universities also have limited housing and advise students to apply for it early. Check
individual college websites for information.
SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: A monthly listing for current scholarships continues to be
available in the College Center, on Naviance, and on the Guidance Deptartment page of the DLS
website. Interested Seniors may apply online at any time. There are some scholarships and special
programs available to Juniors and Sophomores, as well.
FAFSA: 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 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.gov
before the earliest deadline, even if they must estimate income and expenses for 2015. 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.
CAL GRANT: 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 they
must submit their FAFSA by March 2 in order to be considered for a Cal Grant.
JUNIORS:
JUNIOR PARENTS’ COLLEGE PLANNING and ACADEMIC ADVISING NIGHT:
Be sure to attend this important event on Wednesday, February 3 at 7:00 pm in the DLS Theatre. The
College Counselors will present essential information to guide the college exploration and selection
process. In addition, they will also provide information regarding planning senior year courses.

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 Esther Lopez (A-K), Ext. 8103, or Janet Appel (L-Z), Ext. 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 office, on Naviance, 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 help 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.

SAT and ACT TESTING
See above for Spring SAT and ACT dates remaining. All colleges and universities accept either the ACT
or the SAT, and we encourage students to take both. Go to the websites to register: www.actstudent.org
and www.sat.org. Both SAT and ACT offer an optional writing section. It is recommended to take the
exams with the optional writing section; there are some colleges that may require that exam. 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. Recommended testing strategies, timeline, and information about the new SAT will be
covered at the Junior Parent Night (February 3). Contact the College Counselors if you have any

This is a reminder to all student-athletes who plan to participate in sports. Pre-participation physical
examinations are valid for one calendar year only. If your physical is not up to date, make an appointment
prior to the start of the season so you will be ready to compete during your season of play. Appointments
should not be made during class time. Freshman athletes have a physical on file in the Registrar’s Office
and do not need to have another to play a sport unless that physical expires at any time during
participation, inclusive of tryouts and post season play. If a student does not have his physical completed by
the first tryout date, he will not be allowed to participate. Forms are available in the locker room, main
office, or at www.dlshs.org Contact Mr. Doug Bauman or Mr. Derricke Brown if you have any questions.
Athletic schedules and general information for all sports
are available in the Main Office, the locker room, and at www.dlshs.org.

on your relationships with yourself, others, and God. Participants have said that Kairos is where they felt
the true meaning of the Spartan Brotherhood. Don’t miss out on this powerful experience! You must
register online (http://www.dlshs.org/campusministry/retreats/index.aspx)
Social Justice Week will take place February 16-19. Inspired by Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato
Si’ (“Praise Be to You”) On Care for Our Common Home, the De La Salle community will be exploring
and reflecting on the issue of Environmental Justice. Classroom discussion will focus on our care and
concern for the Earth, our environment, and each other. John Donahue-Grossman, a nationally-known
speaker, will speak to the community specifically about how our first world privilege and consumption
effect our “common home” and inspire us to respond to and care for each other—and most importantly,
people of poverty.

PARENTS’ CORNER
Announcing the 2016 De La Salle Parent Survey!
Successful school partnerships depend on quality communication. Two years ago now we launched a new
way of being in dialogue with parents and guardians – the Annual De La Salle Parent Survey.
In addition to being a wonderful tool for the school to hear directly from families on a host of issues, the
Annual De La Salle Parent Survey is connected to our accreditation. While you may remember that we
recently completed a successful re-accreditation visit, our accreditation survey work will continue annually.
You may also remember that your son was required to complete a student survey to register for classes just
this past month. The Annual De La Salle Parent Survey is part of the same project.
We welcome this opportunity to ask you for feedback about your family’s experiences in the De La Salle
community—within and beyond the classroom. You can expect questions about the school’s
communication with you, school culture, the counseling and student support services, and your son’s
experiences with co-curricular activities. The survey should take you approximately 10-15 minutes to
complete. Please note that this survey is anonymous and your responses cannot and will not affect your
son’s grades or financial aid award.
The electronic link to take the Annual De La Salle Parent Survey will be available beginning February 1,
2016 on the De La Salle home page (www.dlshs.org). We deeply appreciate your feedback and the time
you take to communicate with us through this important survey.
If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Berkes, Vice Principal for Faculty
Development and WCEA School Coordinator ([email protected] or 925-288-8149).
Senior Families - Save the Date!!
The Mother-Son Brunch will be held Sunday, March 6.
Registration is open; please find the registration link on
the DLS homepage: www.dlshs.org. Please inquire
with Ms. Sullivan ([email protected]) if you need
Financial Assistance.
Calling DLS Moms to Pray: If you are not praying for your son, who
is? See what God can do for your children and their school when you
are faithful to pray on a regular basis. Come and pray with the DLS
Moms in Prayer group. We meet every Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. to pray
scripturally for our sons, DLS, our teachers and administrators. For
more information, please call Ellen Dobin at (925) 962-0014.

What a night!!!
The Crab Feed is the biggest social event of the school year and draws over 900 families and friends. This

both before and during the event to ensure all were accommodated and happy.
Special thanks to our wonderful Catering Company “Fuget about It!”
Owner Jerry Carpenello (DLS Alumnus, class of 1980) went through great lengths to secure crab for our
event and ensured the crab came straight off the boat and on to the tables – fresh and ready to eat!
Also HUGE thanks to Elizabeth Keith from Boudin Bakery; they generously donated all of the bread that
was served.
Finally, we want to thank all of you who attended. Your participation and generous support of the Brotherhood Fund made this year’s one to remember.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Richmond, CA 94804
November 18, 2015
To begin we would like to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and a blessed
Christmas season.
We appreciate the work and effort that your students put into the cereal drive.
When it appears that you have reached the goal of overwhelming us, you pump us
up again to another level. You are an amazing bunch of people. Please accept our
heartfelt thanks for the thousands of boxes of cereal and all the help you provide in
getting it loaded.
The De La Salle cereal drive is news worthy and we are hoping that other schools
throughout the area will open their hearts, follow your example and take on projects
of their own. The problem of the working poor is greater than ever and we see the
numbers increase during the winter months. Join us in praying for these families.
We would like to thank especially your parents for being true warriors and teaching
you by example to live the apostleship Jesus has asked of all of us; which is to care
for one another, and specifically the poor.
May our heavenly Father continue to bless you with his Love, and may you continue
to share it with all you meet. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and a very Merry
Christmas. We pray that 2016 will bring peace to the world, rain to end the drought,
health and happiness to all, and whatever your needs are, that they will be met.
Thank you for your stewardship,
St. David’s Pantry
