PFLASA in Action!

School hasn’t started but PFLASA (Parents and Friends of LASA) has been busy supporting LASA as we start a new school year. In July, PFLASA’s extraordinary volunteers coordinated two new student orientations for incoming LASA students. This including ordering, picking up and serving a pizza lunch. Thank you NSO volunteers!

On Tuesday, August 6th, the new to LASA teachers get to see the size of the district on a bus tour throughout AISD. Teachers get to have breakfast and ask questions of a parent panel in South Austin. Then there’s another stop in the afternoon for lunch and a chance to meet LASA Ambassadors in North Austin. This is one of the many events that we need a chair for next year to see the tradition continue.

And we have more events to come including the August 9th Teacher Move-In Help date. And New Parent Orientation on August 15th. But PFLASA needs your help to continue. Most importantly, we need a VP to start shadowing now!

First Raptor Report

Welcome to the first edition of our new Raptor Report. Technically it’s still July but PFLASA needs your help now!

First, PFLASA needs a Vice President. The VP shadows the President all year and becomes the President next school year. This organization will not exist without a dedicated team of volunteers. Please reach out to president@pflasa.org to learn more.

Second, you asked us to how to support LASA’s teachers and they answered: the Teachers want move-in help. At this time we are asking for parents to sign up and you can bring a LASA student but we do not want students to come independently. Please sign up here.

Finally, mark your calendars and watch the volunteer signup page for details the Welcome Back Teacher Luncheon. The luncheon will be Monday, August 19th (the day before school starts).

Regards,
Ellen Stewart-Klein, PFLASA President
