Sign up for Alpha!
Dear Class ‘24 Students and Families,

We are reaching out to make sure you know about the upcoming Sophomore Alpha Retreat on Friday, September 10 from 3:00 PM to midnight. Alpha has become a special “rite of passage” that your student will not want to miss. Register your student for the Alpha retreat by this Friday, September 3 at 11:59 PM.

This foundational retreat could not happen last year, but we are so excited to offer it now! This is a core experience at Carondelet that paves the way for strong friendships and a sense of belonging.

Older students, along with faculty and staff, will lead sophomores through fun games, small group discussions, prayers, and reflections. Everyone will share in good food, music, storytelling, and time to relax with new people.

We look forward to this special event with the Class of 2024!

Peace and All Good,

Edie Payne
Director of Campus Ministry
  • The retreat starts immediately after school and is held on campus.

  • Students will be dismissed at midnight and meet parents outside for pick up. The gate will open at 11:50 PM for pick up.

  • This retreat is free.

  • Carondelet student-athletes are excused from practice, but they should connect with coaches ahead of time about this retreat.

  • Students with outside athletic, volunteer, or other commitments are encouraged to coordinate an absence with their respective coaches or mentors as this is their only opportunity to participate in this class retreat experience.

  • Students should be present for the entire retreat. Late arrivals and early departures can be disruptive to the personal retreat experience and the experience of others. Contact Ms. Edie Payne with questions.

  • Food including after-school snacks, dinner, and late-night treats will be provided.

  • We are looking for snack donations and help with set up, service, and dinner clean up. Sign up here.
COVID-19 Retreat Guidelines
Carondelet encourages all students to receive the COVID-19 vaccine to safeguard themselves and our school community. Due to contact tracing protocols, we need to understand which students are vaccinated. All families have been asked to indicate the vaccination status of their students in SchoolAdmin.

If the student is unvaccinated or lacks vaccine documentation by September 3, we will assume the student is not vaccinated. Both instances will require proof of a negative test taken within 72 hours of the retreat. Carondelet and De La Salle offer COVID-19 testing on campus on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Students can also take a home test with Mrs. Reinwald or Mr. Cushing on that Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Please bring a home test to the front office in the morning labeled with the student's name, and we can do that test after school with one of those administrators.
