Student-Led Conferences are
February 12-15. We are excited to have you join us next week for our annual Student-Led Conferences for 9th-11th graders! The emphasis during student-led conferences is on course planning, registration, building an academic resume, and planning for life after high scho
ol. Why do we do Student- Led Conferences:
- Students assume greater control of their academic progress.
- Students accept personal responsibility for their academic performance.
- Parent and students engage in open and honest dialogue.
- Students learn the process of self-evaluation and goal setting.
- Students develop organizational and oral communication skills.
- Students and parents engage in the process of registering for classes.

Thank You:
We are excited to have a partnership with EWU in our new African American Literature class! Earlier this month
Dr. Okera Nsombi or Dr. O visited LC and the students sent messages of thanks and inspiration.
"You made me think in a different perspective about history with Malcolm X and MLK...I don't understand how people can dislike someone so much, just based on their skin color, as to kill them."
"As a white woman, I often find myself stuck between guilt and advocation...the most influential piece for me was the difference between the words white and black."
"Thank you for making me open my eyes more than they are now. My favorite part was when you broke down the meaning of black and white and the true definitions."
"I hope that you come next time to teach us more because not only are you educating us, you are also inspiring our teach to change the subject in class which is really good to me."

Set in New York City at the turn of the century, a ragged band of newsboys take on the titans of publishing, Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst.

Free Online SAT Practice:
All 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students who took the PSAT in October can take the next step on their SAT practice journey by
linking their College Board and Khan Academy accounts
, which unlocks a free SAT study plan. Linking their accounts will send their PSAT scores to Khan Academy, giving them access to a personalized experience on
Official SAT Practice
. Research shows that studying on Official SAT Practice for 20 hours is associated with an average score gain of 115 points from the PSAT/NMSQT to the SAT. That's nearly double the average score gain of students who don't use Khan Academy.

FAFSA:
October 1
marks an important day as it is when the 2018-19 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opened. It is highly recommended that all LC Seniors file the FAFSA. It is the first step in getting financial aid -- including grants, scholarships, work study, and loans - from any college, technical school, or career training program. Go to to
www.fafsa.gov
for more information.
FSA ID:
In order to file the FAFSA, both the parent and student must first create FSA IDs. We strongly encourage you to create your FSA ID now at
fsaid.ed.gov
because it takes approximately 1-3 days for the FSA ID to be verified and ready to be used. See the FAFSA FAQ document attached for more information. This is an important first step to apply for the FAFSA.
