1Senior Salute: a special LASA tradition for graduating LASA seniors. Every year, PFLASA hosts Senior Salute usually the night before the official LASA graduation. Seniors receive their magnet endorsements from the administration, senior students perform a skit about life at LASA, the faculty give book awards and typically make a video for the students, and the seniors are given a memory book that contains each senior’s picture, quote and future plans. It's a very LASA-esque event and the seniors run the whole event. This event is for immediate family only. Dress is Dressy Casual (e.g. Pants, Ties, Dresses, etc). Typically, the event is 2 1/2 to 3 hours, not including the time that students need to be there early to line up. No tickets required.
2Graduation Practice: Mandatory for all seniors; Practice is in the LASA Theatre.
3Graduation 2025: The district schedules all AISD graduations. Graduation is typically 2 hours after it starts. https://www.austinisd.org/graduation; There are no tickets required, no RSVP, guest number is not limited. Burger Activity Center is an AISD indoor facility.
4Project Graduation: all night lock-in party for graduates only; Contract agreement must be signed by both students and parents (avail in May 2024). Graduates will be bused to LASA at 5:30AM and parents should plan on picking up their kids between 5:45am and 6:00am; Graduates are not to drive themselves to this event. Parent drop-off and pick-up only.

Senior Yearbook Pictures Booking Instructions
LASA Senior Yearbook Photos Saturday, Oct. 19
The second Cady Senior Roadshow session will be October 19 in the LASA large gym. This is for the FREE Yearbook picture, which will appear in the yearbook. If
you want to purchase the digital download, or take extra photos in front of other backdrops, you can choose that at checkout. There will be two extra backdrops
available on campus.
If you would like a more robust senior portrait session with Cady, you can book it at their studio, near 183 & 1431. You can also go directly to the studio just for the yearbook
headshot if you prefer to do that. Please note that Cady is our contracted yearbook photographer; to appear in the yearbook, seniors must be photographed by Cady.
A cap and gown will be provided by CADY for the yearbook session. The cap and gown photo is the one that will appear in the yearbook. If you choose to do the additional
backdrops please bring whichever wardrobe you’d like for that.
