Since 2009, SLA has hosted EduCon, a three-day annual innovation conference for teachers and administrators to discuss the future of learning and teaching, and all that makes a school a school. 

HSA helps greet and check in guests; and supports students and staff with meal preparation, set up, clean up, and any other task to make the conference a success. Sign up to volunteer your time or to donate food for the attendees. 

More information on the EduCon website.

The annual Spring Social is a festive evening for parents, teachers, and other adult friends of SLA enjoy a night of food, drinks and good company in a relaxed and fun atmosphere, and participate in the silent and live auctions that support our work. 

For more info on how to donate auction items or get involved in this year's event, head on over to our Spring Social page.

New Family Night, Back-to-School Night, Conferences

Each fall, SLA rolls out the welcome mat for students and their families. It’s our golden moment to showcase our deeply-held values and offer a glimpse into our unique learning haven. Volunteers greet families, sell SLA gear, and help people navigate the building. These events are a great way to meet other community members while also helping the school.

Back-to-School Night: September 9, 2026 @ 5:30 pm

Open House

SLA hosts one Open House each fall for prospective students and families. This is an opportunity for us to speak about our special learning community. Volunteers greet visitors, answer questions, and share individual experiences about SLA.

At SLA, we are incredibly fortunate to count on the support of our families. We could not be the school we are without you. 

Money raised during each year's Fuel the Rocket drive goes directly to SLA's program of an innovative, authentic, inquiry-driven, technology rich education. 

Contributions fund many initiatives, including our crucial program coordinator, Independent Learning Projects, part or all of other teaching positions, the laptop program, the Digital Video and Engineering CTEs—and much, much more.
