Welcome to the Parents Portal
The new La Salle Parents Portal provides a number of useful functions (outlined below), which are intended to help and enrich the La Salle experience. Below is most of the information that you will need to log on to and start using the portal.
How do I log on to the Parents Portal?
Each parent has a unique username and password to the Parents Portal and can be entered on the left. Instructions on parent usernames and passwords was sent distributed at Back-to-School Night and in the Communications Envelope.

What is RSS?
RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
Why RSS? Benefits and Reasons for using RSS
RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving summaries of the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter.
