Los Altos High School Student Community Leadership (SCL) presents:

Student Stress Awareness Panel (SAP)

Join us for the Student Stress Awareness Panel (SAP), where Los Altos High School students will share their personal experiences with stress, the challenges they face, and the strategies they use to manage it.

This student-led panel offers parents and peers a unique opportunity to hear directly from students about the pressures of high school life and gain a better understanding of youth mental wellness. Attendees will learn about effective coping strategies, hear different student perspectives, and participate in an open conversation about supporting students through stressful times.

We encourage all parents, students, and community members to join us for this meaningful conversation! Please sign up using the registration link.

We hope to see you there!

We use an app called Minga for a variety of purposes at LAHS, including scheduling ACT appointments, accessing digital student ID cards, and keeping students informed about activities and events on campus.

We’re also working to improve the lunch line experience and reduce wait times for students. One way students can help is by having their student ID ready to scan when they reach the lunch counter.

Please encourage your student to download the Minga app on their phone if they have one and haven’t already installed it. Students can log in using their MVLA email address. To make this easier, we’ll include a link to download the app in next week’s student bulletin.

Students who need a new physical copy of their ID card can request one by emailing Jeanine Seagraves at jeanine.seagraves@mvla.net or stopping by to see her in the main office.

Thank you for helping us make lunchtime more efficient for everyone!

1 in 6 of our neighbors in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties turn to Second Harvest of Silicon Valley for food each month. Help us make a difference!

Haunted Homecoming Week was a huge success! About a thousand students joined us for the Homecoming Dance on October 24, the staff won both Homecoming Rally games on October 26, and we celebrated our seniors and announced Homecoming Court Royals Lucy Lai and Joey Fussell at the Senior Night football game. Thank you to everyone who dressed up, cheered loud, and helped make the week one to remember.  Link to video of parade

With November in full swing, we will be hosting some fall-themed crafts in the wellness center. First up we have our fall leaf candle jars. Your student can craft a fall-inspired candle jar using colorful tissue paper and an LED candle on Monday, November 9th during ACT. The combination of creative expression and soft, ambient lighting helps create an atmosphere to support relaxation. Please encourage your student to reserve their spot in advance on Minga under Juan Arreola.

The Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is an honorable tradition that brings the community together to honor and remember loved ones who are no longer with us.

Participants can take part in craft stations, food, and beverages, as well as watch a Ballet Folklórico performance from the Eastside Prep Ballet Folklórico club!

This event is in partnership with Climate Resilient Communities and Grassroots Ecology on Saturday, November 7th at 10:00am.

We will be decorating and building a community altar to remember loved ones who have passed. We encourage you to bring photos, favorite objects, or decorations of your loved ones to add to our altar.
