Back
The shadow host MUST be in the grade your child is applying to enter in the fall. We prefer matching students with a host of the same gender. Only guests who are siblings may shadow their sibling in an alternate grade.
STUDENT HOST COORDINATION. If you requested a specific host: Please contact that family directly to remind their student to meet you in the Admissions Office at 8:25 AM. Check if their student has upcoming tests or plans to be absent so you can reschedule if needed.
If you do not have a host: We will match your child with one of our fantastic 9th graders who shares similar interests!
Drop-Off: Please bring your student to the security entrance (between the main school building and the chapel) between 8:15 AM and 8:30 AM. Guests who arrive earlier will wait until 8:20 AM when shadow hosts arrive at the admissions office.
Pick-Up: Please return to the security entrance at 12:20 PM to pick up your child. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS MESSAGES. WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR VISIT DAY TO GIVE OUR GUESTS A BETTER EXPERIENCE AT LA SALLE.
Schedule & Accommodations: Shadow days are half-day events ending at 12:20 PM and custom schedules cannot be accommodated unless the guest is a sibling of a current La Salle student. Please contact us directly if this applies.
Dress Code: Male students should wear khakis with a dress shirt and tie, or a polo shirt. Female students may wear dress pants or a skirt with an appropriate shirt. All students should wear dress shoes or solid black sneakers. Please DO NOT wear a borrowed La Salle student uniform.
Lunch & Belongings: Complimentary lunch is provided, and students are welcome to bring a water bottle. Please do not bring backpacks, or other food or drink into classrooms. Other items should be left in the Admissions Office.
Phone Policy: La Salle policy requires students to keep their cell phones stored in their lockers. Guests are strongly encouraged to leave cell phones with a parent or guardian for the visit. If a guest brings a phone, it must remain put away and unused for the duration of the visit.
Important Form: Please ensure you completed the Shadow Confirmation Form linked to your "Ram for a Day" item on your Blackbaud checklist before your visit to notify us of any dietary or medical needs.
