Urgent ask – Need AP Proctors (must already be an AISD sub)

AP testing time is near. LASA administers AP tests for more than thirty different subjects over the course of 2 weeks in May. Starting sophomore year, the majority of students will be taking at least one AP test. This means a lot of tests and a lot of volunteers to make it all work. Signups will be going out in a few weeks with hundreds of volunteer slots for room and hall monitors. Keep an eye out for this great opportunity to help our students excel.

In the meantime, we have an immediate need for additional Proctors. LASA’s AP testing coordinator is looking for parents who are already substitutes with the district.

  • Proctors must be Austin ISD substitutes.
  • Proctors will be paid like any other substitute position.
  • Proctors work 8 hours/ day.
  • Hours can be either 7am–3pm or 9am–5pm, depending on the sub’s availability.
  • Dates are May 4–8 and May 11–15

BECOME A LASA CAC REPRESENTATIVE

We are looking for community members, parents, and alumni to be a part of the LASA Campus Advisory Council (CAC) for a term of 2 years starting in September 2026. Committee meetings are held after school the first Wednesday of the month throughout the school year and run about 1 hour. Fill out an application here: https://www.austinisd.org/advisory-bodies/cac/application. The deadline to apply is April 13, 2026.

Any current LASA parent (or incoming 2026 parent) can apply to be a parent representative. We are also looking for a community member who has no current student at LASA, does not work for LASA and lives in AISD. This would be a great way for an alumni parent (or student!) to stay connected with the school!

You can find more information about the CAC on the AISD CAC page and on the LASA CAC page.
