This year, BYPTSD will be held on September 18th (Regular A Day) and 19th (Regular B Day). As one of LASA’s cherished traditions, I encourage everyone who can adjust their schedule to attend one or both days. Parents will gather in the library before school and then join their student’s classes. There are no changes to the class periods for these days; whatever the teacher has planned will proceed as usual. Your experience will be entirely authentic, allowing you to sit through a lecture or discussion, participate in a debate, or even take a quiz/test. Please be open to all these experiences and enjoy the day as a LASA student – you can attend one class or all day (either day or both) – that’s up to you!
Here are some more reminders for you:
– Badges will be printed ahead of time for those who pre-registered or as you arrive for those who make the last-minute decision to attend.
– Avoid the lines: PRE-REGISTRATION LINK HERE: https://forms.gle/TNCFCtmYfh914VsM8
Pre-registration will close on Monday, September 16th, to allow us time to print the badges. If you don’t pre-register, you can still attend and check in at the office to get your badge. Pre-registering just helps save time!
– You are welcome to arrive and leave as your schedule permits; however, to maintain the natural flow of the class and avoid distractions, we kindly ask that you enter at the beginning of the period and leave at the end of the period. The bell schedule is here: lasahighschool.org/bells.
– If you have pre-registered and are arriving for the first class of the day (either 1st or 5th period), please check in at the table located in the main hallway near the front office. For arrivals at any other time during the day, go to the front office to either:
1. Pick up your pre-printed badge if you have pre-registered or
2. Show your Driver’s License/ID to have a badge printed.
– Schedule: Please ensure you have a screenshot of your student’s schedule, which should include the class name, teacher, and room number. Note that course lists will not be printed.
– PARKING – is always limited at LASA. Additional details will be provided soon.
– Please set your cell phone to silent or vibrate. If you need to take a call during a class period, feel free to step out into the hallway.
– All grade levels are welcome! The Junior and Senior classes are especially worth visiting—you’ll feel smarter after just one period!
– Don’t let your child discourage you from coming. This is your decision, not theirs. If they are truly uncomfortable with you visiting their class, consider attending the same class during a different period. We can help arrange this for you.
– Parents can bring their own lunch or purchase one from the cafeteria. You may eat with your student or in the designated room with other parents.
– If you want to volunteer for BYPTS Days from 7:30 am – 8:15 am, please register here to volunteer.
Don’t miss this is a wonderful opportunity to get a glimpse into your student’s daily experience.
We hope to see you there!
