Finals Schedule Update

Final exams will begin on Friday, May 23, and continue through the following week. During finals, students will be dismissed at 11:25 AM each day. (Please note: students with extended time may test beyond that, as needed.)

To support all learners, teacher office hours will be offered daily from 11:25 AM to 12:30 PM, not just Tuesday through Thursday. This gives students access to extra help, clarification, or encouragement throughout the entire finals period.

Thank you for helping your daughter plan ahead and take advantage of the support available during this important time.

Looking Ahead: 2025–26 Schedule Release

Senior Parents/Guardians

Please do not unsubscribe from Carondelet's email platform, Constant Contact. In a couple of weeks, we will transfer your email to the parents of alumnae category. This will allow you to still receive alumnae parent communications and other important information communications from Carondelet.

If you missed Graduation, or would like to re-watch the ceremony, you can view the livestream here.

Dress Code for Finals

In addition to the everyday uniform guidelines, students may wear leggings or sweatpants during finals week. Carondelet or De La Salle tops are still expected. 

Attendance Updates

As we enter into the last weeks of the semester, we want to remind students and families of the importance of regular school attendance and proactive communication with our Attendance Office. Attendance is required during finals week and critical for closing out the semester. If your student will be missing finals, for any reason, please reach out to Nicole Ebert in Attendance as soon as possible. 

Garage Closed for Construction

The covered garage will be closed for the remainder of the school year due to construction. Please plan accordingly.

The School Store Shelves are full!

If you placed an order on the Proforma School Store website and had it delivered to the school, please be sure to check the area under the stairs in the Convent for your items. The Convent is open during regular school hours, Monday through Friday.

Students with a valid driver’s license may park on a first-come, first-served basis in the following areas:

• The back parking lot (located behind the gym, back 40s classrooms, and Convent)
• Along Treat Blvd., just past the flagpole

Approved parking areas are marked in green on the map. Please review the map carefully to ensure you are parking in a designated student area and please be mindful of all traffic cones and construction fencing. 

Reminder: Students may not park in the Convent Lot (unless they have a permit for that location), the covered garage, in EV charging stations, or directly in front of the Academic Building.
