INFORMATION

Fall 2019 Schedules: Our draft Fall 2019 schedules are now available on PowerSchool for students to view! These schedules are in very early draft form and we have 95.1% of students fully scheduled. The next step is to ensure that all students have the correct and desired classes by logging into PowerSchool to check that the right classes are assigned and that nothing has been missed (click on Next Year’s Schedule, then look at the Matrix view - works best on a computer, the app doesn't always show next year's classes).

Summer Meals: Free summer meals for children start June 17 . Hunger doesn’t stop during summer vacation. But thanks to the Summer Meal Program, students who rely on school meals can continue receiving nutritious breakfasts and lunches through the summer.

The Summer Meal Program is a federally funded child nutrition program created to ensure that children in low-income areas can continue to receive nutritious meals during long school vacations. The meals are available to all children 18 years and younger. There is no registration or fee. The program starts June 17 and runs through Aug. 16. Children may come all or any days they wish. Parents are encouraged to come with their children, but are asked to bring their own meal. Find a list of summer meal sites, addresses and days of service here , and check back often as information is subject to change.

Lost and Found: The LC Lost and Found is overflowing! If you are missing anything, please come check the Lost and Found in the Bookroom before or after school, or during lunch. All lost and found items that are not claimed will be donated on June 13. Thank you!

Parent Input Opportunity: The League of Education Voters (LEV) is conducting a focus group to gather information on parents' perspective of the support their children received in high school to become college and career ready. 

To be eligible to participate we are looking for parents of students of color who graduated from high school in 2018 or are graduating in 2019 and were taking dual credit classes (Career Technical Education CTE, AP course, Running star, or International Baccalaureate IB). The information gathered will be used to create and complete advocacy campaigns to increase the participation of underrepresented student groups in dual credit and CTE courses. Parents opinion on this topic will also help LEV and partners learn more about how underrepresented students and families in public high schools make decisions to participate in dual credit courses. Please join us on Wednesday, June 19 from 6:30-7:30 pm at the Spokane Public Library, 906 W Main St Spokane 99203, Downtown boardroom 3rd floor. Parking on 908 W. Spokane Falls Blvd. 

 

The group will consist of about 12 Parents, a moderator, and an assistant. We will provide drinks, coffee, snack, and  a $50 gift certificate  to reward participation. To sign up using this google form:   https://forms.gle/bngb8gLtkGWoEY416 or call 509-979-0421 or email:  LatinosSpokane@gmail.com

Parent Input Needed: As a school community we are committed to listening to feedback and looking for ways to improve the educational experience for you and your student. Please take the time to complete a short survey to let us know how we are doing as a school. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Social Studies teacher Carolyn Petek is in the process of forming a travel group through Education First (EF). If interested, please contact carolynp@spokaneschools.org .

Please leave a message with your name, your student's name, clearly spelling out the last name, how long your student will be absent, and the reason for the absence. An unexcused absence will generate an automated phone call home. If your child is going to have an extended absence, please have them go to the Student Office to pick up an Extended Absence Sheet to give teacher advanced notice of the absence.
