Welcome to Los Alamitos Elementary School!

Mark your calendars because Dandy Day will be on Saturday, October 18th! Our school events thrive because of dedicated volunteers like YOU! Remember: the more, the merrier–and the more hands, the lighter the lift! Please let us know how you'd like to be involved by filling out this quick Google Form. We can't wait to work together to make this event unforgettable! More details will be coming soon!

All current students will receive a Dandy T-shirt for Dandy Day at no cost, which will be distributed one week prior to the event. If you or a sibling who is not a current Los Alamitos student would like to pre-order a T-shirt, please use the link below via Membership Toolkit:

https://losalamitospta.membershiptoolkit.com/packet/12545

Pre-order will close on September 19th.

Pre-ordered shirts will also be distributed the week before Dandy Day. 

*We may not have enough inventory to sell t-shirts on the day of event- pre-order is highly recommended if you are planning on having a matching t-shirt with your child.  

*DO NOT ORDER FOR CURRENT STUDENTS*

We’re Back for Year Two!

We could not be more excited to bring The Lions Den BBQ & Grill back to Dandy Day.

To help us with purchasing and to reduce food waste, we strongly encourage pre-ordering HERE! Please take a moment to explore the menu and make your selections. Once your basket is filled, simply continue to check out.

Important Reminder: Be sure to bring your receipt to the BBQ pit on Dandy Day to redeem your food. Your receipt is required and all food purchases are final.

Please Note: The Lions Den BBQ & Grill is the only non-ticket station at Dandy Day. We will not be accepting cash, but will be accepting all major credit cards and tap-to-pay. All other Dandy Day items will require tickets.

Support our school and help your child’s class win! PTA Membership is just $50 per student, and the first class in each grade to reach 100% membership will win a Popsicle Party.

Even better—the very first class in the entire school to hit 100% will score the Grand Prize: Lion Pride Socks + a Popsicle Party!

Become a member by September 30th and help your student’s class celebrate in style.

A few of our classes are still waiting for Room Parents- let’s fill those spots! Room Parents help keep the fun and connection going by being the link between the PTA and the classroom, and by coordinating special moments like teacher appreciation. Room Parents do not need to be on campus much, and the role will not take up much of your time. It’s a wonderful way to be involved and help make the school year extra memorable for our kids and teachers.

Email LosAlamitosPTA@gmail.com or fill out this form if you're interested!!

Only 2 classrooms left! Don't let your child's classroom be left without a room parent!!
