Parent PlusPortals Accounts and Class Supply Lists
PlusPortals user activation instructions were sent to parents via email last week. PlusPortals is Delone Catholic's new student information system. By logging into PlusPortals, parents can view student information, classes, announcements, assignments and etc. There is also an area of School Resources that contains forms, policies and other documents pertaining to students and parents. Students in grades 10th, 11th and 12th have received their log in information when they registered for classes in the spring. New students and incoming freshmen will receive their log in information during the first week of school.

Class supply lists are available on the PlusPortals. To access a list, click on the class title and scroll down to Class Announcements and Alerts. If the teacher has posted his or her supply list, it will appear here. 

We appreciate your patience as we begin using this new system. If you have any questions regarding password(s) and log in information, please contact Mrs. Donna Tompkins

Refer-A-Friend Tuition Grant
Delone Catholic has recently been advertising a transfer tuition grant for students interested in coming to Delone Catholic in their 10th, 11th or 12th grade year. Click here to listen to the current radio promotion. In conjunction with this opportunity for transfer students, we have a grant opportunity for our current families. It's called the Refer-A-Friend Tuition Grant.

Consider telling a friend about all the wonderful programs and services that Delone Catholic has to offer, and you may be eligible for a $500 Refer-A-Friend Tuition Grant. The details of the grant are as follows:
  1. The $500 tuition grant is awarded to a current school family who refers a prospective student to Delone Catholic who then transfers into 10th, 11th or 12th grade and completes the academic year.
  2. The tuition grant will be applied to the current school family's final tuition payment.
  3. The transfer student must not have been previously enrolled at Delone Catholic.
  4. Only one family per transfer is eligible for the Refer-A-Friend Tuition Grant.
