Because We’re All Friends of Serrania!

FOS was created as a non-profit, Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) to provide charitable assistance to Serrania CES. We’ve been supporting Serrania since 1990.

PTO stands for Parent Teacher Organization. This PTO is a nonprofit group comprised of parents, teachers, and staff dedicated to improving the educational experience of all students at Serrania Charter for Enriched Studies. The PTO works closely with the school administration to meet this goal.

Together with parents, teachers, and community members, we raise funds in order to provide enrichment classes during the school day to enhance LAUSD curriculum for ALL students. We also fund after-school events, purchase needed equipment, and in general, support Serrania’s students and community.

You don’t have to be a board member to help out and volunteer. We encourage everyone who wants to help out to attend a meeting (3rd Thursday of every month)!

If you want to be a member of our board, get nominated! At the end of the year meeting (May), you can nominate yourself or be member-nominated. No additional requirements. Once you have been a board member for at least 30 days, and are in good standing, you can run for an open Office position.

FOS meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of every month (except for December & June).

We recap recent FOS events, discuss upcoming events, and review PTO financials. The Principal and Teacher Representatives also give school updates. Child care and pizza are provided!

Donations and funds raised from fundraisers go towards: Enrichment Classes (Art, Computer/Coding, STEM, PE), operational expenses, FOS website, field trips, staff holiday luncheon, teacher appreciation week, campus beautification, teacher needs, and hospitality (ex. kinder playdate).

FOS offers community sponsorship opportunities, which include banners, flyer distributions, and targeted emails. Please contact us for more information - fos@SerraniaCharter.org
