We still need some help with New Student Orientation this Thursday and next Tuesday. If you can help out, please sign up here. It would be great to get help in every area, if possible. We anticipate a couple hundred students each day. These students will travel to each station and volunteers will help them at each one.

An email about LOTE Placement tests was sent to incoming 9th-grade students who signed up for Chinese III, French III, Latin III, and Spanish III.

If you took the Placement Exam on June 1st or you are not taking Level 3 of Chinese, French, Latin, or Spanish, you do not need to worry about the LOTE placement test and can disregard this email.

Communications and Getting Connected LASA typically does not communicate much during the summer. Be sure to stay on top of your email but don't be surprised when there isn't anything there. We want you to enjoy the break. Dates for LOTE exams and New Student Orientation, etc are on our website at the new student url you received before. Summer is a great time to get connected with other parents and also sign up for various communication avenues we have at LASA so then in August, you will be ready to go. Read about them all here and sign up for whatever you are interested in. Looking for Spirit Gear or a gift for your favorite Raptor fan? Looking for a gift for a hard-to-buy for dad-figure in your life? Or maybe want to get the LASA gear well in time for school to start? Well order now as it takes 3-4 weeks depending on what you order. Get the sweatshirt now because it's cold in some rooms at LASA even when it's 100 degrees outside! If you are looking for Class of 20XX
