LASA PTSA: Parent Teacher Student Association 

PFLASA and LASA PTSA have teamed up to do great things for the LASA Community. PFLASA focuses inwards on campus-related events and support while LASA PTSA focuses outwards with the core goals of advocacy and parent engagement. We will also do core programing that is only available to PTA, eg. Reflections, Texas PTA Connect Programs, TXPTA Scholarships, Share the Love, Rally Day, and others. We communicate with our neighbors and trustees and coordinate the Memorial Day event with the community.

We would love to have your help even if it is only for 2 hours of your time. Please indicate your interest in our form here.  

If you have any questions, please contact Elva Mendoza at president@lasaptsa.org.
