FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
It was definitely a TIGER-PALOOZA at Monday night’s Spokane Scholars Foundation banquet. The annual event is hosted by the entirely-volunteer foundation board who fund- and friend-raise all year long to host six scholars from each regional high school (nearly 150 this year) who are nominated for excellence in academic categories including math, science, fine arts, English language arts, social studies and world language. The students’ families are all invited, as are several teachers and community leaders. This year, in an unprecedented landslide of a night, all six LC nominees were selected as winners in their category. You’ll read about the students recognized below, but know this: Nights like Monday offer assurance that sometimes the universe spins just right.

The six scholars honored Monday night – who took home fully one-third of the available scholarship monies offered – are among the most world-aware and great-hearted kids here at school.

And it’s a very high bar. Tigers are, more than ever before, socially and politically conscious.

They aren’t all on the same side of important issues like LGBTQ protections, gun-violence, #MeToo, and Black Lives Matter.

But they are stepping into the fray and learning how to be critical thinkers and come to positions that represent reflection and contemplation and research and revision.

And they aren’t afraid to take positions and use their voices and lean in.

I’ve seen them challenge one another and their teachers and the status quo, but they have done so for the most part with great diplomacy and care.

I’m grateful that this particular group of students, marked as they have been by the social events of recent years, is now reaching for the reins.

They are ready to start steering us all in a good direction.

Reminder : We want to hear from you! Please take a moment to provide feedback to LC through this anonymous survey: surveys.panoramaed.com/spokane/lewisandclark
New for fall: 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 Becky Doughty, director of Health Services, at 354-7298 with any questions.
 
RCW 28A.210 : Life-threatening health conditions: Prior to attendance at school, each child with a potentially life-threatening health condition shall present a medication or treatment order addressing the condition. A life threatening health condition means a condition that will put the child in danger of death during the school day if a medication or treatment order is not in place. Needing to keep asthma medications at school is considered a potentially life threatening health condition.
Theory of Relativity Lewis and Clark Tiger Drama presents a moving musical examining the interconnectedness of people through an array of diverse life experiences: The Theory of Relativity. Your last chance to see it is TONIGHT - April 20 at 7:00pm . General Seating Students: $8.00 Adults: $10.00. Told through a collection of songs, scenes, and monologues; The Theory of Relativity introduces a compelling array of characters experiencing the joys and heartbreaks, the liaisons and losses, the inevitability and the wonder of human connection. Whether you're allergic to cats, in love for the first or tenth time, a child of divorce, a germaphobe or simply a unique individual, audience members and actors alike are sure to find themselves in this fresh new musical.

The company of The Theory of Relativity includes: Miranda Anthony Miller , Audrey Bensching , Noel Case , Erin Chaves , Bethany Daniel , Tatyanah Edgar , Darby Fitzgerald , Lydia Fout , Ethan Goins , Maleah Harshman , Emma Hendricks , Vanessa Kaufman , Alexandra Lewis , Iaine MacKay , Taiyanna Pereira , Piper Quimby , Trevor Rau , Matthew Read , Madison Rhodes , Gunnar Rorholm , and Jordan Santiago .

The Theory of Relativity is directed by Nathan Patrick Nelson and choreographed by Greg Pschirrer. Claire Woodard acts as the student director/stage manager and costumes are by Lisa Caryl-Vukas and Pauletta Caryl.

Thursday, April 26 from 6:00-7:30pm in the LC Theater. The LC orientation is well in advance of the deadline for submitting EVF’s to the colleges, so please mark the date on your calendar so that the Fall Quarter EVF’s are not delayed.

“Decision Celebrations” across the nation recognize students who have reached the life-changing milestone of committing to post-secondary options. Decision Celebration events help motivate students to take charge of their future by completing their education beyond high school.
 
National College Signing Days have traditionally been focused on the college draft of promising athletes. Communities gather to watch, commentators speculate where athletes will play and fans prepare to cheer their new team members. NOW, across the nation, and at LC, we want to celebrate all seniors as they officially enlist in a military branch or commit to a college or university to obtain a postsecondary degree or certificate. Finalizing educational plans beyond high school is an exciting major step towards a student's future and we believe that decision should be celebrated!
 
On May 1 , The National College Admission Confirmation Deadline, LC will be honoring seniors during their social studies class period with post-secondary celebrations and exit interviews.  If any parent would like to volunteer with this FIRST LC Decision Event (primarily assisting with exit interviews) please contact Jeff Norton ( jeffn@spokaneschools.org ) or Suzanne Maguire ( suzannem@spokaneschools.org ) for details.

Student Services Update: We believe that the very best place for students to be is in class under the caring supervision of our amazing teachers. To encourage this behavior, we have implemented some changes to our tardy and pass policies here at LC!
 
Tardies:
  • Teachers are to admit late students into their class for 5 minutes after the bell rings. The teacher will determine what, if any, consequences will be assigned.
  • If a student is more than 5 minutes late (without a pass) to class, he or she will need to get a pass from the attendance office and return the pass to the teacher. This will result in a lunch detention.
Passes:
  • New passes were distributed to teachers that are color coded by area of the building to encourage students to stay close to class while using a pass. Students are asked to always have a pass in their possession while in the halls during class time.
  • Teachers are expected to write paper passes when sending students to the office, to the library, or to another class. Students without a pass may be sent back to their teacher to get a pass.
  • If a teacher needs to keep a student beyond passing period, they will write the student a pass so that the student will not be marked tardy or be sent to the attendance office for a pass.
