2024 LA MS and HS Band Camp information: Band Camp is now July 29- August 2. It starts at 7:30am and ends at 2:00pm each day. Things you need during band camp: Sun Block/Screen, Socks, Sneakers/Athletic Shoes ONLY, Water Bottle. (You MUST hydrate regularly), Pencils with erasers (no pens), Instrument (if you use a school instrument, check-out will be on July 29-30) , Reeds (woodwind players only), Valve oil (brass players only), Mouthpiece, Deodorant. As of July 1, 2021, each student who is participating in marching band must have a physical on file with their school prior to students participating in marching band. All band camp days are mandatory. During band camp, we will learn the skills necessary to build a successful marching band for which our school and community will be proud. In the event of rain or excessive temperatures, just like class, band camp meets regardless of most weather conditions. We have access to indoor facilities and will modify our schedule for safety and comfort if weather conditions so mandate. You do not need to bring money. Parents are welcome to attend all rehearsals during band camp. You are welcome to assist with water breaks, etc. All I ask is you bring no one under 18 unless they are in the band program. We have a parent volunteer organization that meets every month. Our first meeting of the new school year will be July 29 after band camp.

LAPS is excited to announce that we qualified for the Community Eligibility Provision and will be providing breakfast and lunch FREE of charge to all students next year. No lunchroom applications will have to be submitted.

Next year's school calendar was revised at last night's school board meeting to change in-person Fridays to remote learning Fridays. You can find that calendar on our webpage or at this link: https://5il.co/2lkuu

After school staff collaborates with teachers to supplement lessons during the school day and to reinforce and enhance concepts learned through offering enrichment activities. Our program is working with a coalition of community partners.
