Direct Appeal is *ON*

10/28/2025 4:41 pm

Did you know: MWES receives the LEAST amount of funding from LAUSD *and* raises the lowest amount from parents (compared to comparable schools)?
 
We've prepared a deck that lays out how much Mount Washington gets from LAUSD, how much we're trying to raise, what the programs and support we offer costs, and how our giving compares to other schools. 
 
MWPTA aims to spend $500 per student and we know Ms. Ontiveros would love to know how much she has to work with as she puts together next year's school budget!*
 
 
 
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to directappeal [at] mwpta.org
 
*And if you haven't already, fill out the MWES Needs Assessment Survey to identify the programs important to YOU!

Mindful Tech @ MWE

9/25/2025 12:00 am

After last week's PTA GA meeting ended, MWE parent Alicia Van Couvering spoke about the rise of  classroom technology and its effects on the learning, safety, and privacy of students in education broadly, and at LAUSD across all grades.

 

In response, MWE teachers Mr. Talty (4th grade) prepared an overview of EdTech as it is currently used at MWE, which includes the platforms used by each grade level. Many thanks to Mrs. Fowler, Ms. Zelina Munoz, and Ms Graham for contributing.  
 

To ensure that the dialogue around tech at MWE is thoughtful, informed and focused on the reality of screens at our school, Mr. Talty will also host a school-wide meeting in late October. More details to come!

 

We thank Alicia for starting the conversation, and are so grateful to Mr Talty, his fellow teachers, and MWE admin for their responsiveness, transparency, and willingness to inform our parents.
