In order to make your registration day run as smooth as possible, here are some important reminders:
REGISTRATION PACKETS- Bring in your registration packet COMPLETELY FILLED OUT. If you did not receive registration forms, they can be downloaded here from the school's website or filled out on-site. However, for incoming students, this can be a time-consuming process, so we strongly recommend filling out all forms BEFORE coming to campus.
VACCINATIONS- ALL STUDENTS are required to have the state-mandated Tdap vaccine before beginning this school year. See the coupon at the bottom of this email for information on how to receive vaccinations through Ralph's Pharmacy and earn LACHSA $5 in the process!
ONLINE STORE- Our online store is now up and running. You can pay for Registration Items (see section below for more information), LACHSA Merchandise and even past Film Projects (Can you say "Moondance" and "Chicago"?). [Note: Bear with us as we get our website navigation working correctly. In the meantime, the Registration Package order form is currently located at lachsa.net under the About Us menu, On-Line Store. LACHSA Merchandise and Film Products are available in the "Shop LACHSA" section, found in the lower right hand column. Or you can simply use the hyperlinks in this section.]
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES- Our first volunteer events of the coming school year are right around the corner. See below for ways you can become involved over the next few weeks. We look forward to posting more information on our parent council webpages as well. Be sure to check back regularly.

If you are able to help with any of the following spots please respond to this email stating what day(s) and time(s) you are available. Email parentcouncil@lachsa.net as soon as possible so we can add you to our much needed volunteer list for this week. 11th & 12th grade parents - we could especially use your help during the 16th and 17th, when we help with incoming registration. Parents may have questions for other parents and you are a wealth of information!
New Student Academy
Two volunteers are needed each day, August 16, 17, and 18 to assist Ms. Livermore with the activities of the day. Please meet Ms. Livermore at 7:30am in front of the main office. The day runs though 12:00 for parent volunteers.
Another way you can volunteer now is by donating materials for our identity project. We are in need of donations in the way of crafty resources: shiny paper, fabric, cellophane paper, beads, ribbon, lace, sequins, glue guns, construction paper, magazines etc.
You can donate materials, marked Summer Academy, in the main office any time between 8-3 over the summer.
Need school supplies or books? Use Yellowbrick Mall and help raise money for LACHSA!
Don't forget our affiliate programs as a source of passive fundraising. You can order school supplies from Office Depot or books from Amazon and the online merchants will donate a percentage of their proceeds to LACHSA. Just visit http://yellowbrickmall.com/lachsa.php and select any of their listed merchants. No registration is required and no credit card information is ever given to Yellowbrick Mall.
Still Need Carpool Information?
We have our carpool list online and available for download through the Parent Downloads page. If you need login information, please email parentcouncil@lachsa.net. If you still would like to be added to our Carpool List for the 2011-12 school year, please complete the carpool survey found on our Parent Council website (under Transportation tab) or CLICK HERE .
Our first public Parent Council Meeting is tentatively scheduled for Monday, August 29th, at 6:30pm. Confirmation of date/time and location will be sent out closer to this date. We hope to see many of you there!
In the meantime, continue to have a wonderful summer. We thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,

In conjunction with the new California State law that mandates the Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Vaccine, also known as Tdap, for all students entering 7th through 12th grade* in the 2011-2012 school year, Ralphs Pharmacies are offering schools an opportunity to earn a $5 donation for each student that receives the Tdap shot at one of our 90 pharmacies throughout Southern California. Please visit our website at www.ralphs.com to locate the pharmacy near you. The vaccine is covered by many insurance companies so stop by and talk to your Ralphs Pharmacist today.
Participation in this offer is easy. Parents simply take their student(s) to their local Ralphs Pharmacy and say they are there for the Tdap shot. They will need to provide the name of the school in order for the school to earn the $5 donation.
