Join A Committee. Help With An Activity.
The SLA HSA is a volunteer, parent-run organization. Our purposes include supporting the faculty, students and staff of SLA in academics, sports and extracurricular activities; promoting cooperation between home and school; and development community awareness of the needs of the school. Every family of an SLA Student is a member of the HSA, and suggested dues contribution is $25 to support our work. Please donate what you can.

Parents/guardians are encouraged to participate in SLA activities throughout the year.
There are many opportunities to get involved with the Home and School Association. You can serve as a committee chair or a committee member. Consider getting involved with any of the following:
Back-to-School Night, New Family Night, Conferences
Volunteers are always needed to greet families, sell SLA gear and help people navigate the building. Responsibilities are generally light and these events are a great way to meet other community members while also helping the school.
Open House
SLA hosts one Open House each fall for prospective students and families. This is an opportunity for us to share our values, speak about our difference and welcome the community into our special learning community. Parent volunteers assist with this event by greeting guests, navigating them through our hallways, being on hand for questions and sharing individual experiences about the school with our visitors.
Interview Weekends
Remember your child’s interview? It’s a stressful day but to ease the tension, we recruit volunteers to hangout with parents, answer questions and be a resource throughout the day. We also set up baked goods and treats for anyone who needs a little energy. This is a really fun activity that is very much appreciated by parents who are waiting for their children to complete their interview.
