Transportation We have bus routes all around Chicago to get you to De La Salle. If you’re taking the De La Salle bus, you’ll meet at a designated stop (see table of routes) and hand the bus driver a ticket (or $5) per ride. Bus tickets are also sold as a booklet of 20 ($100), which are available for purchase throughout the day at either the Meteor Shop or during lunch periods in the Commons. All bus tickets sales are final. Reimbursements are not available. The first day bus tickets are available for purchase is at our Back to School Day in August. Students are to be standing on the designated pick-up stop before the bus arrives and be prompt in both boarding and exiting the bus. Buses are scheduled to arrive at De La Salle approximately 15 – 20 minutes before school begins. If traffic or weather causes a delay in arrival time, teachers are told to hold attendance and students are not considered late. At the end of each day, buses depart 10 minutes after dismissal. In order to receive text messages if the bus is running in excess of 20 minutes late or concerning route information ,…

Counseling Services We provide both academic and personal counseling for students who wish to take advantage of our highly qualified and experienced staff. You’ll find that we’re up-to-date on topics like anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, and grief-counseling and can provide research-based tools that both help the students’ mental health and improve scholastic performance. We are here to meet your academic, social, and developmental needs. When you officially matriculate as a De La Salle Meteor, our Student Services Department will schedule an orientation day to meet you and your parent(s)/guardian(s). We’ll get an inventory of who you are: what you enjoy in school, what you’re nervous about, what subject(s) are your favorite, and what you hope to accomplish with your time at De La Salle. This information will help us get the conversation started so that we can best support you throughout your De La Salle Experience - from excited freshman to graduated senior and every moment in between.
