As members of the Los Encinos PA Board, we’re inspired to see so many parents (and grandparents!) contribute their time and talents to our community. The 2020-2021 school year was no exception even though our traditional events were anything but typical. One indication this year was going to be atypical: our first PA meeting was virtual!
Every year, however, our parents give generously of their time and talents as Room Parents. They also volunteer for such committees as Halloween and, this year in particular, many virtual events.
As a small school, Los Encinos relies on parent volunteers — and we’re grateful to have such an active, supportive community. We welcome your involvement! Please click here for more information. We look forward to gathering in person real soon.

Volunteering!
The Spiritwear store moved online in 2021 to losencinosschool.org/shop.
To celebrate the success of the LES Fund-raiser, first-grade parent, Lisa Shannon, hosted a fun ‘virtual trivia night’ friend-raiser!
Dr. Francine Kaufman (lower left) and Dr. Boris Vaisman (lower right) held a series of COVID Q&A webinars.
Special Thanks
To the Room Parents in each grade who make everything happen so smoothly! Plus, we had fewer all-school events, which made the volunteering that much more important. Thank you!
