This year we are trying something new with psychomotor. We want to ensure all our scholars get to participate in this program, however, unless each class has LAUSD-approved volunteers, it may be that some classes do not get the opportunity. As such, we invite you to volunteer for not only your child’s class, but consider helping out in another class on another day. Your support is greatly appreciated and our scholars will be eternally grateful to not miss out on this important skill-building, and fun, opportunity. Thank you!

SIGN UP HERE: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4DA9AE23A3FDC07-50894691-psychomotor#/

Please note: You must be a district approved, on-campus volunteer to assist during Psychomotor. Please do not signup yet if you have not received confirmation that you have been approved to volunteer.

The application to become an approved LAUSD volunteer for next academic year is open. You will need to be approved by the district to help out on campus during school hours. To learn more and to apply, please visit the LAUSD Volunteer Portal. You need to re-apply for each school year.

For questions, please contact Lisa Henderson: lisa.henderson@lausd.net

One last reminder to take a look at all of the fun from our Welcome Back Carnival and to please upload your own photos. Welcome Back Carnival 2024 Album
