Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

It is quite common not to find the laam-alif on an Arabic alphabet chart.  The favorable position with us is that it should be included, since most charts call what is really a hamzah an alif, the laam-alif then replaces the missing alif, but nonetheless, most charts have only 28 letters.  The laam-alif is a representation of the true alif, which always is saakinah preceded by a letter that has a fat-h, as in the laam-alif. 

We do not have an Arabic chart for you, but found two links that have the Arabic alphabet without the laam alif, and lastly found a chart that has the alif as a separate identity from the hamzah, as it should be.
