All incoming students are required to take math and English (reading) placement exams called Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). These are adaptive tests which you will take on a licensed computer in the La Salle library and/or computer lab.

Please register on your School Admin Portal.

• Saturday, May 6 – 9 a.m. or 1 p.m.
• Saturday, May 13 – 9 a.m. or 1 p.m.

The tests are not timed but it takes most students 60-90 minutes to complete each test. There are no calculators allowed on the math test.

Please bring a writing implement to the test. We will provide scratch paper if you wish to work out problems on paper.

There are three options to take the tests with a morning session, an afternoon session, or an afterschool option.

Thinking about getting your new iPad? See the specifications here before you buy: 

• Students will need an iPad latest gen (7th generation or higher), iPad Air (3rd gen), iPad Pro (9.7 in, 10.5 in, 11 in, 12.9 in) with iPadOS 15 or higher installed. Older models do not support necessary software features.
• Minimum storage should be at least 64 GB to ensure adequate storage. In this case, more is better so 64 GB is the minimum.
• Wi-Fi only - there is no need to purchase a cellular plan for your iPad. La Salle provides free wi-fi.
• We strongly recommend purchasing a protective case and keyboard as students will use iPads in class and at home. Accessories including earphones, earbuds, or AirPods are also useful at school. Accessories may be purchased with the iPad or from a separate online or in-store retailer but please ensure that you note your iPad model so you will purchase the appropriate case and keyboard.

We are so excited your family will be joining this amazing La Salle community. There are many ways for you to engage with and get involved at La Salle! We invite you to come learn more by signing up for a New Family Engagement meeting in May or June.

We will:

• Walk through our calendar of events up through January, so you are familiar with the opportunities to meet and socialize with other parents, cheer on the Falcons, learn more about your child's education, and support the school.
• Share ways to get involved on campus.
• Outline different opportunities to support La Salle that align with your family's timeline and interests.
• Point you in the right direction if you need a specific resource.
• Field any and all questions you have about La Salle.

These optional, one-on-one meetings will take place on campus with a member of the La Salle Prep Advancement team. The meetings, which are scheduled for one hour but generally last about 45 minutes, are for parents/guardians only (students do not attend).
