PTSA and Academic Support
Parent support is a key ingredient to delivering a rich, well rounded experience for Las Lomas students. WCEF and Las Lomas PTSA share a common goal: To help provide an exceptional educational experience for our students. We work collaboratively with the school's administration to best utilize financial contributions in accordance with the priorities of the school. As funding responsibilities change and grow, the PTSA investment in academics has increased by $45,000 to include funding of academic courses in math and history. Please consider contributing the requested fair share of $200 through the webstore or by check to Las Lomas PTSA. Thank you, Mary Vanderpan and Tricia Murray Co-PTSA Presidents
