Hello Warrior Families!

Parking and Driving
Families who drop students off in the morning are asked to use the drop-off loop, rather than dropping off in the parking lot. Dropping off in the parking lot causes traffic to snag, and it presents a danger to students and staff walking through the lot, particularly in bad weather.
All drivers are reminded that parking in the grass is never okay. Parking in the grass and overnight parking will result in towing at the vehicle owner's expense.

Not sure how to add your counselor to your Common Application?
Click on 'My Colleges', then click on the first college in your list. When you do this, you will see an option for Questions, Recommenders and FERPA, and Review and Submit. You need to click on Recommenders and FERPA. You need to complete the FERPA Release Authorization. We recommend waiving the right to review the documentation and supporting documents. Once you complete and submit, then you can start inviting your counselor and other teacher recommendations. As a reminder, please use the laca email address:

Families, we want to hear from you. We do our best to support our students and families, however we know at times there are things we might miss, related to academic needs, friendships and relationships, mental health, and safety. Your voice is important to us as we reflect on what we can do better to support our students and families. We know that we can best support kids when we work in partnership with families and the community.
