• If PowerSchool prompts you that your password has been reset by an administrator, follow the directions on the screen to reset (new passwords must be 8 characters and only use letters/numbers).
• Your schedule (teachers and periods) is likely to change over the next few weeks as we balance classes. Keep checking PowerSchool for any updates

Launch Conferences

We want to see students and families! We are offering Launch Conferences on Thursday, September 1 and Friday, September 2 in person at Lewis and Clark to start the school year. We are excited to launch the 2022-23 school year by getting to know you and your student. The district will send out a Conference Scheduling link to family email(s) on file and text it to their phone(s) on file via Blackboard Messenger on August 19. You can schedule your conferences here as soon as the system is ready.

At the conference your teacher will provide an overview school logistics (verifying your contact information, helping you get connected to PowerSchool, check out your laptop, highlight the importance of regular attendance, and connect you to school and community resources).

Please email Phil High-Edward or call 509-354-6941 if you have any questions about our Launch Conferences.

Freshman & New Student Orientation

On August 31 from 6:00-7:00pm we will be holding our Freshman and New Student Orientation for students and parents, mark your calendars! It will be an opportunity to tour the school, meet administration, and get information on all of the wonderful options Lewis and Clark has to offer students and families. This is a separate event from the Launch Conferences designed to provide information to new students. The doors will be open at 5:30pm and the presentation will begin promptly at 6:00pm in the LC Auditorium. We look forward to seeing you there! If you have questions, please contact Brandon Bouge. 

Attendance

Attendance is a key predictor in student success. It is important for your child to be here every day! For tips on how to support your child's attendance, click here.

If your child is going to be absent or late due to an appointment, please call our Attendance Hotline at 354-6968.

Bell Schedules

We are still finalizing our bell schedules for 2022-2023, we will share class times in next week's LC News. 

All Mondays will be late start with 1st period beginning an hour later at 9:00am and that there will not be Zero Hour classes on Monday. 

We will have Advisory 4-days per week (Tuesday-Friday) after 2nd period. 

We will continue with a 2-lunch schedule this year. Your lunch is determined by the location of your 4th period:

• 1st lunch: If your 4th period is in the Fieldhouse (rooms that begin with an "F"), Ground Floor (rooms that begin with a "0"), or 2nd floor (rooms that begin with a "2"). 
• 2nd lunch: If your 4th period is in the Commons (rooms that begin with a "C"), 1st floor (rooms that begin with a "1"), or 3rd floor (rooms that begin with a "3").

You can download the Spokane Public Schools calendar here.

• large 3-ring binder with at least 6 dividing tabs
• loose, white, college-ruled paper
• #2 pencils/mechanical pencils
• pens - black or blue ink

School Bus Info

The district is updating the school bus and STA information and we will have updates in the next LC News including neighborhood bus stops and LC drop off/pick up locations.

Immunization Information

Please be aware that all students in Spokane Public Schools are required by state law to be fully vaccinated prior to the first day of attendance (RCW 28A.210.080). If the student’s immunization record is not complete, the student will be excluded from school. If your child is exempt from vaccination, please ensure that your school receives this documentation. At this time, the requirement to be fully vaccinated does not include the COVID vaccine.

Visit the SPS website for more information. 

LC Yearbook Senior Photos and Senior Ads

LC Senior Parents, please take a moment to review the attached documents for information on Senior Photos and Senior Ads for the 2022-2023 LC yearbook. Booking your Senior Photos early is a good idea to ensure you are able to meet the October 31 deadline. Those who are not able to book Senior Photos can schedule to get a free photo taken by a yearbook photographer in the fall by emailing lcyearbook@spokaneschools.org.

School Picture Day

School Picture Day is Thursday, September 8. All students are required to have pictures taken for the yearbook and student ID/GSL Card. Students may not wear costumes for their official school photo. 

Freshmen will have pictures taken during Science and all other students will go during Social Studies.

If you do not have those classes, you can go to the Auditorium when you have a break in your day. You can order pictures at Dorian Studios or use the form that will be available during Launch Conferences.

Activity and Athletic Registration

Registration for Spokane Public Schools athletics and activities is now being done through FinalForms, an online data management service that replaces FamilyID. FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning families will never need to enter the same information twice. FinalForms also pre-populates data wherever possible, saving time for families registering multiple students.

To get started, click on the Parent Playbook. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Use Support” if you need assistance. You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update.

IMPORTANT: You will receive an account confirmation email from FinalForms. Please click the link and follow the steps to login and access your student(s) information. If you do not receive the email and want to register your student, please contact Dave Hughes.

Registration for fall sports is open now.

Paying for Yearbook, GSL, and Parking

GSL, Yearbooks, and parking permits are on sale now in the Business Office:

• $42 student GSL Card (required for all athletes)
• $47 Yearbook, yearbook pre‐sales end 12/16/22.
• $5 student parking pass (must be purchased in the Business Office) or $90 for a meter pass. You may only purchase one parking pass this year, so you must choose between the lots and the meters.
• Optional: Donation to Yearbook fund for students who are unable to purchase one. Every dollar donated helps a family in financial need. Thank you for your donation!

Free Breakfast & Lunch for All!

Breakfast and Lunch is free again this year for all LC students. We will be asking that all families complete the CEP survey during Launch Conferences. CEP is the Community Eligibility Provision. It is the program Spokane Public Schools runs to offer free meals to all students at school for the 2022-2023 school year. SPS is able to participate in this program thanks to the passage of a bill in the Washington Legislature.

Although meals are free to all students this school year, filling out the Family Income Survey helps ensure school funding is maintained for essential programs. Students who qualify can get added benefits like Pandemic EBT, waived sports & waived AP/SAT testing fees, and many others. 

You can get a head start by filling out the CEP survey now. 

Lockers

In the first few days of school, we will be issuing lockers to students who would like to use one. We will share the sign up process in the next LC News. 

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: Buses pick up students all around the perimeter of the school. Please do not park in these locations before school/after school. We recommend arriving for pick up after the buses have left at 2:40pm.

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 lots under the freeway directly in front of the main building and the Commons and the parking garage are only for LC staff and are monitored and ticketed for cars without staff permits.

Low-Cost Internet Access

The Affordable Connectivity Program is an FCC benefit program that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more. The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price. The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household. ⇒ Learn who is eligible and how to enroll here.

AP/College Board Accounts

If you are enrolled in an Advanced Placement (AP) class, you will need to create or access your existing College Board account (this is only for students that have a class with "AP" in the course title). Your account will give you access to AP Classroom resources and access for ordering your AP exams (we will order exams later in September). This account is not connected to your school accounts, so you will need to save the login and password (LC teachers do not have access to your login info, so if you forgot your login info, you will need to recover it on the AP website). Click here to go to the College Board website to either make sure you can access your account from last year or to create a new one if you are taking your first AP class.
