FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |

October 1, 2021
Greetings Tiger Students and Families,
Happy October 1st and what a great first full month of school we have experienced. We have experienced a few hurdles along the way, but we have cleared them all with precision. It has not always been easy but working with such a great staff and with such remarkable students, we are continuing to make progress. It cannot be overstated regarding how much our work with your student is enhanced due to the partnership and communication we have and will continue to seek with every parent or guardian for students. We will continue to use several methods to communicate with families such as our LCNYCU, Facebook, our LC webpage, Reader board, our email, text, and phone system. We are aware that there are some glitches with our email, phone, and text system, and we are committed to working on a resolution for this issue.
Another issue that we have been working on with students as we strive to maintain a safe and productive learning environment for all students has been social media and the influence it has created. We are aware that the outlet, Tik Tok, is encouraging behavior that is not acceptable at school or in our community. We take these issues very seriously and will intervene and assure that our Tigers understand the consequences of their actions and how they impact the safety and well being of our entire school community. Please talk with your student and share the importance of using technology in a safe and responsible manner.
Overall, staff and students are enjoying being back in school. It is where kids and staff want to be and enjoy the social interactions. Let’s continue to practice our safety measures that are in place, make good decisions and not let negativity cloud “good character,” and work hard to grow and achieve academically. We got this “Tigers”.
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe,
Go Tigers!
Mr. Corley
Principal
“Every Tiger, Every Day”

AP EXAM REGISTRATION AND ORDERING | | | |
|
|
AP Test Registration Window Is Open October 1 - October 31: Students enrolled in AP classes have the option of taking AP Exams in May. These are optional exams, but students in the classes are highly encouraged to take the exams to earn college credit and/or college course placement.
The fee for EACH Advanced Placement test is $96.
Next week in AP classes, teachers will go over all of the details, but here is a sneak peek if you want to start now:
Step 1: Go on to your AP College Board account and select YES or NO for every AP class that you are enrolled in this year to commit to taking or not taking each exam. THIS STEP IS REQUIRED, EVEN IF YOU AREN’T TAKING THE EXAM.
Step 2: Determine your method of payment:
-
I will pay the full amount for my exams AND I will be paying with cash or check. Bring payment to the Business Office. If you need to pay over time, discuss a plan with the Business Office. Bring completed AP Exam Registration form (purple sheet) and mark every test you plan to take.
-
I will pay the full amount for my exams AND I will be paying online with a credit card. Go to wa-spokane.intouchreceipting.com or www.lctigers (click on Pay Fees), follow the directions, and pay. You do NOT need to complete the AP Exam registration form (purple sheet).
-
I qualify for free/reduced lunch or state assistance for $0 exams. See Mrs. Meyer in the Public Office during the school day or at lunch outside of the library to get the fee waiver form and discuss options. Take the fee waiver form home for parent signature. Return fee waiver form and AP Exam Registration form (purple sheet) to Mrs. Meyer.
Questions? Email Theresa Meyer

Student and Parent/Visitor Parking | |
Parent/Visitor Parking: LC does not have designated visitor parking, so you can park at any of the metered spots across the street. For after-hours events, you can park for free in any of the parking lots under the freeway. The doors to the Commons building are handicap accessible.
Student Drop-off/Pick-Up: Before and after school, 4th Avenue in front of LC is a busy place with school buses and parents competing for limited space. In order to help alleviate congestion, we recommend that parents drop off and pick up students either on 5th Avenue, 3rd Avenue or a block east or west of LC on 4th Avenue. It is important to not park (even for a drop off) in the bus zones.
Student Parking: LC students can park in the two freeway lots (in front of the Field House and in front of the church to the east). Be sure to display your student parking permit to avoid getting a ticket in the student lots. Student parking permits can be purchased in the Business Office for $5. The lot directly in front of the main building and the parking garage are only for LC staff and are monitored for cars without staff permits.
