LASA Online Family Directory – Parents Please fill out this form to be included
PFLASA is preparing for the annual launch of the LASA Online Family Directory – a mobile, private, and secure password-protected directory platform, sponsored by PFLASA. The LASA Family Directory, accessible from a computer or smartphone, contains parent names, home phone, home address, parent email addresses and student names, grade levels, as well as school staff contact information.
AISD requested permission from you during the annual Registration process, but many families don’t give permission during registration, AND of the families who gave permission, AISD will only release the information for 1 parent per student to have access.
To ensure that your family’s data is correct, please Opt-In to the LASA Directory at the following link: https://tinyurl.com/LASADirectoryOptin2526
The Opt-In form will be open until October 1st.
The auction team for Project Graduation would love to receive tickets to different events in Austin! They will be featured in our auction in November, all donations are greatly appreciated!
Did you know:
“Asking your child directly about suicide will not increase their risk, or plant the idea. It will create an opportunity to offer support, and let them know you care enough to have the conversation.” (American Foundation For Suicide Prevention)
“Suicidal ideation (suicidal thoughts) are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide. Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign. Treatment is available.” (Cleveland Clinic)
Conversations Save Lives! For help in how to approach these conversations, check out the amazing resources on Talk Away the Dark. If you or a loved on is in a crisis, call 911 or call/text the suicide hotline at 988.

Did you know that your employer’s matching gift program can substantially increase the impact of your donation to PFLASA?
Many companies have a Corporate Social Responsibility Program that matches employee charitable contributions, creating a positive impact that benefits organizations like PFLASA. When a donor gives and their employer matches that gift, PFLASA receives double the impact from a single donation. Essentially, corporate matching gifts are a win-win, allowing your employer to support the nonprofits you value while providing funding to further PFLASA’s mission.
Double your impact!! Please ask about your company’s charitable matching program through your HR department or employee portal. If you have any questions, feel free to email the PFLASA treasurer at Treasurer@pflasa.org.
Pssst … Your boss called to remind you to take advantage of your company’s matching gift benefit and double your impact for LASA’s No Hassle Campaign!
At LASA, our magnet school offers unparalleled advanced classes and unique programs that set us apart. However, sometimes district funding falls short of covering the specialized materials, equipment, and resources our students need to excel. PFLASA (Parents and Friends of LASA) helps to cover the shortage with donations from parents just like you.
Your tax-deductible donation to PFLASA plays a crucial role in maintaining the exceptional quality of our school. Every gift truly counts, regardless of size. Thanks to your generosity, PFLASA ensures that LASA students have the tools they need to succeed, and your continued support makes it all possible.
Make a difference today! Your gift, big or small, has the power to transform our students’ educational experiences. Please donate at www.pflasa.org/give!
