Welcome to Los Alamitos Elementary School!

We are looking for members of our Los Alamitos community to join our PTA Executive Board for 2026-27 school year! More details about specific positions will be shared soon, but if you’re interested in getting involved, please email us or connect with any of our current board members.

Serving on the PTA Executive Board offers a behind-the-scenes look at how our fundraising efforts work and provides a direct way to support and strengthen our school community. 

Our board is full of working parents so we are mindful of time restraints and hold meetings one evening per month.

Join us - we truly need you.

Reach out for more information to losalamitospta@gmail.com!

Our two dances were a huge success! A big thank-you to our amazing mom volunteers who helped set everything up and to our dad volunteers who handled breakdown at the end of the night. It truly looked like everyone had a wonderful time.

These dances are some of our most special events - giving girls and boys the opportunity to enjoy meaningful one-on-one time with their grown-ups.

Many of our lead volunteers this year were 5th-grade parents who will be moving on from Los Alamitos next year. As we plan ahead, we are looking for lead volunteers for the 2026–27 school year to help lead our dances. These events do require planning, including booking the DJ nearly a year in advance.

The perk? If you choose to be a lead volunteer, you get to pick the dates, choose the theme, and truly work the planning around your schedule.

If you are interested in serving as a lead dance volunteer next year, please let us know. Without volunteers, we unfortunately won’t be able to continue hosting these dances.

Let's treat our staff to a delicious luncheon on Thursday, February 12th to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day.  


Please sign up to bring a dish - sign up HERE.
