Log into your PowerSchool Account: Students and parents can check the newest draft of student schedules, real time grades, and attendance through PowerSchool online at https://powerschool.spokaneschools.org/public/ or using an app (use district code KWMW).
  • Check your schedule - if there is an error or you are requesting a schedule change, email Theresa Meyer at theresam@spokaneschools.org. We cannot accommodate specific teacher or period requests due to very full classes and the complexity of the master schedule. Over the next few weeks, your classes will not change, but the period and/or teacher may continue to shift as we balance classes. This is normal for the start of a new year, thank you for your flexibility and understanding!
  • If you don't have a PowerSchool login/password because you are new to Spokane Schools or you have lost your existing one, email Theresa Meyer at theresam@spokaneschools.org.

Go to http://www.spokaneschools.org/Page/23164 to learn how to log in. Many of our teachers, counselors, and administrators email information to the student’s email, so it is advised that all students log in to make sure they have access.
School Supplies: If you need help purchasing school supplies, please contact your student’s counselor. If you can donate extra supplies, we would be very grateful. You can drop off extras in the Public or Student Office any time! Here is the basic suggested list for most classes (some teachers may have other required items that will be shared on the first day of school):

  • loose, white, college-ruled paper
  • #2 pencils/mechanical pencils

  • ruler
Apply now for Free/Reduced Lunch: Go to http://www.spokaneschools.org/Page/1811 to register for this great benefit (the District will also be mailing forms to your homes). If you qualify and do not plan to eat school lunch, there are other benefits – the state of Washington will subsidize the cost of your AP tests! Even if you qualified in the past, you will need to reapply each year.
Summer Assignments: If you are enrolled in AP Calculus AB/BC, Honors English 9/10, AP English 11/12, or Honors Spanish Year 2, you will need to complete a summer reading assignment. Please bring the completed assignment to the first day of class. Download the assignments at: http://www.spokaneschools.org/Page/378

Are Your Immunizations Up to Date? Learn about the immunization compliance information at http://www.spokaneschools.org/Page/1787 . If your child has received new immunization shots or boosters, please bring the information to LC so we can update the files.
Changes to Asthma Requirements: Starting this fall, all asthma will be considered a life-threatening health condition. For students who have a diagnosis of asthma, state law requires them to have a signed Asthma Care Plan and Medication Orders on file, updated by a health care provider each year. All students who have asthma will be required to have an Asthma Care Plan and Medication Orders AND an inhaler at school prior to the first day of school or they will be excluded. Please contact Health Services at 354-7298 with any questions.
Cell Phone Policy Changes: All LC Classrooms Are No Phone Zones starting in the Fall.
  • At bell, all phones are to be silenced and stored away until the end of class and are to remain stored away and out of reach unless expressly requested by teacher for classroom activities.
  • Phones used without teacher approval will be “bagged and tagged” for the class period.
  • Bagged phones will be released by teacher at the end of class, and tagged bags will be turned into the student office for administrative response.
  • Thank you for helping create distraction-free learning zones for all TIGERS!
Yearbook/Parking Pass/Lunch Accounts : Get a jump start and purchase your yearbook and parking pass early and put funds into your lunch account so you’re ready for the first day at http://www.spokaneschools.org/Page/303 . Students who are going to drive to LC must purchase a parking permit and park in the designated parking lots. We are still waiting to hear from the city of Spokane about parking meter permits for this year.
Donate to the Student Assistance Fund: When you come in to pay student fees in the Business Office, please consider donating to the Student Assistance fund. This fund helps needy students pay for the required class fees and athletic fees. Every dollar donated goes directly to LC students.
