A New School~  
Los Alamos Online Learning Academy
Did you know approximately 500 students in Los Alamos opted for online learning only this school year?  Los Alamos Online Learning Academy serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade.  As a new school quickly created over the summer, LAOLA did not have a separate budget for resources.  LAPS Foundation stepped in and purchased many items to help teachers adjust to teaching online from home.  Click here to see how your dollars have helped students and teachers at LAOLA and throughout the school district navigate online learning.
Prioritizing Safety
LAPS makes safety at our schools #1. The Foundation helped with that priority this year. A generous grant from Con Alma allowed us to purchase Automated Electronic Defibrillators for each elementary school and the LAPS district office.  Now schools are safer across the district.  Check out the new AED at Chamisa!
"It just knocked my socks off!" 

Professional Development Revised
Teachers need access to good professional development in order to keep up with the newest curriculum and trends in teaching.  Even though large in-person conferences are a thing of the past, LAPS Foundation still funds great PD.  Sixteen English teachers from the high school and middle school were able to attend the annual convention of the National Council of Teachers of English in November.  The upside:  Instead of 6 teachers going in person, 16 were able to attend online; they have access to many more excellent courses for 60 days; some of the funding that was set aside for them to attend the conference in person can now be used to purchase books in anticipation of adopting new curriculum.  One teacher described the experience as “a shot in the arm” and what she desperately needed.

"It's nice to know I can access sessions later."
