PTSA will host a college panel for LSA students and families!

We will have some recent LSA graduates and parents of these graduates available to answer any questions you may have about what to expect and how to prepare for college during your senior year.

We will also have a brief time for voting on our new PTSA board.

If you know anyone that would like to be on the panel, please use this Google form.

Here is a new quick and easy way to notify the school of absences! Thank you Mrs. Benjamin for creating the form below! Instead of emailing office@longleafschool.com, please submit your information using the Google form. It is also available in the "Quick Links" section of our school website!
