Stay Connected

April 26, 2024

At LASA, we have many communication modes that serve many different purposes and have different audiences.

New parents always ask how they can get carpools, ask questions of other parents, and how to volunteer at the high school level.

We have compiled all of our communication modes and listed them here on our website (under the Parents Menu/Stay Connected): https://lasa.austinschools.org/parents/stay-connected
