Loma Alta Military-Connected Families

Welcome to Loma Alta Middle School. 
 
We want to welcome our military-connected families.  We hope that your time in San Antonio is a pleasure as we want to best be able to serve you as you you serve the country.
 
School is hard enough when you are in Middle School, you do not need to go through it alone. Our goal this year and every year is two fold. One, to create an environment your student wants to be a part of come to love. Two, to establish rapport and build connections with our military families, recognizing all you do and sacrifice for the betterment of our community and country. Whether you are current or former Active Duty, Reserve or Guard in any of the branches, we are here to support you and your student.  
 
Feel free to explore the resources we have to offer if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us.

Relocation information and an Introduction to our registration process
 
Step one is to start the registration process!  You can view the process and all required documents by clicking HERE.  Once your child has completely registered, then your child will be ready to start at LOMA! On their first day of school, our Student 2 Student tour guide will greet them in the office and welcome them.  The LOMA  Welcome Brochure can also be viewed here. We welcome grades 6-8 on our campus!
If you have any questions, you can contact our PEIMS Specialist, Mrs. Samantha Sanchez at 830-521-6088 *4301 or [email protected] .  Records will be requested using TREX.  If you have any special programs paperwork (SPED, 504, GT, Bilingual), it is highly recommended that you provide copies during the enrollment process to speed up support services.
Our campus has built in intervention time to target areas in academics that students may need additional support.  Teachers use data driven practices to promote growth.  Additional tutoring may be offered.  Contact your child's teacher to learn what opportunities are available to further assist at home.
 
Our campus has different clubs that students may be able to participate in.  Some clubs include: Student 2 Student, Student Council, FCA, NJHS, Dungeons and Dragons, book clubs and more. Announcements and signage is posted around campus with meeting details.

Joint Base San Antonio School Liaison Office (SLO) helps parents ease the transition of the mobile military lifestyle and can assist prior to your PCS, upon arrival, while at your installation, and when you prepare to depart for your next duty station.  They specialize in serving military families with K-12 school-age children and are able to provide information about the local school systems and community.

 

The SLO will support parents and school districts with the Interstate Compact for the Education of Military Students interpretation, information on schools and boundaries, Home School, Deployment Support, provide School and Community Outreach partnerships.  These military dependent education professionals serve as a link between military families and all surrounding school districts ensuring maximum educational opportunities for academic success.
