Award-Winning Public Education Takes a Team

The Los Altos School District (LASD) blends critical thinking and creativity to deliver a well-rounded learning experience for our community’s children. LASD is regularly ranked in the top 1% of all school districts in California. The funding LASD receives from public sources – including both federal and state governments, as well as funds from local property and parcel taxes – is insufficient to allow LASD to provide this rich educational experience on its own. To make up for this shortfall, the Los Altos Educational Foundation (LAEF) and each school’s PTA work closely together to bridge the funding gap so that an excellent education is provided to all children at their individual campuses.

To understand how Oak School functions, it is helpful to understand how these three organizations work together:

Los Altos School District

Los Altos School District provides core curriculum, core facilities, and core staff/teachers funded by federal, state, and local sources to Oak and all the schools in the district.. Visit LASD’s website for more information.

Los Altos Educational Foundation

The Los Altos Educational Foundation provides funding for teachers and essential programs at each school beyond what public funding provides, benefitting all TK-8th grade students at every school in LASD.

Your donations to LAEF this school year support staffing at Oak for-

  • Physical Education (PE)
  • Computer Science
  • Librarian
  • Music Instructors (4th-6th grade)
  • Mental Health Counseling 
  • Art Docents program
  • Living Classroom program
  • MVLA Parent Education Speaker Series (free for all Oak families to attend)

Parents, community members, and businesses are encouraged to donate to LAEF to keep our schools strong. Gifts of any amount are appreciated! Learn more about LAEF-funded programs and donate or pledge today.

Oak PTA

Oak School PTA provides funding for equipment, supplies, and community enrichment as well as volunteers to facilitate or assist with special school programs and events. Donations to the PTA can pay for things as far ranging as a marker in a classroom or a bus for a school field trip. A PTA volunteer may be an individual grandparent reading a book for 15 minutes in their grandchild’s classroom or 50 PTA parents taking a day off from work to facilitate Field Day in June. To help support the Oak School PTA, donate here.

Without community support from all three organizations - LASD, LAEF, and the Oak School PTA - Oak School would not be the wonderful place we have all come to love!
