8th Grade Parent Night

We are excited to welcome our future LC parents to join us on March 3 at 6:00pm for our 8th grade parent night.

We will be meeting in our beautiful new Commons Building (enter on 4th Ave. on the far west side of the building and there is free parking under the freeway).

We will share information on our great programs, classes, and supports for our students to help your Tiger be successful at Lewis and Clark High School. The LC administrators and counselors will all be in attendance to answer all of your questions.

We will also have draft schedule requests for any students that have registered during our middle school visits and you will have an opportunity to make any adjustments and to ask questions about class selection. We have plenty of time to make any changes to support your student's transition to high school. If your child has not yet registered for classes by March 3, we can help with the process as well. Please visit our course registration website here for additional information (9th grade course registration form, 9th grade course information packet, 9th grade class overview presentation).

If you are not able to attend, we will post a video of the information on the website following the meeting.

If you have any questions? Contact Theresa Meyer (theresam@spokaneschools.org).

SAT School Day Test for Juniors

On Wednesday, March 2, all LC Juniors will take the SAT during the school day for FREE! They are preregistered, so there is no need to anything additional prior to the test. Juniors will need to be at their testing room by 7:45am. The test will run from 8:00am-12:00pm. They will eat lunch after the test. Students should get a good night's sleep and eat a hearty breakfast. They should bring pencils, snacks, water, and a calculator (if available). Juniors cannot be disturbed during the test or leave early, so please do not schedule any appointments or early dismissals for this date. All 9th, 10th, and 12th graders will have normal classes on March 2. Juniors will attend regular classes after lunch.

If you are a Junior in Running Start, and you do not plan to take the test because it conflicts with your college schedule, please let Sarah Pooler know at sarahp@spokaneschools.org

An Evening with Erik Larson & Shawn Vestal

Lewis and Clark and Auntie’s Bookstore are pleased to announce that on Sunday, February 27 at 2:00pm we will be hosting an event with best-selling author Erik Larson. He will be discussing his book, The Splendid and the Vile in LC's historic auditorium. Free parking is available on site. Auntie's will be making a donation to LC's library for hosting!

Tickets are $25.00 and include a paperback copy of the book. They can be purchased online at auntiesbooks.com, in the store, or over the phone. The author will be pre-signing the books as a COVID-19 safety precaution. Books will be available for pickup at the event.

The Splendid and the Vile was named a best book of the year by The New York Times Book Review, Time, Vogue, NPR, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, New York Post, The New York Public Library, Kirkus Reviews, and others. It tells the story of Winston Churchill’s leadership during the darkest days of World War Two. Deeply researched, Time magazine has said, “Readers are left with an indelible portrait of a nation coming together to face a brutal assault from German bombs under leadership that is wise, empathetic and strategic--not to mention highly witty and charming."

We will abide by all Washington State mandates regarding COVID-19 safety. As such, masks will be required for the duration of the event and entry is only available to those who can present proof of vaccination. A vaccine card, photograph or copy of one will be accepted as proof. The venue is being utilized at half capacity and we hope that audience members will use the extra space to remain socially distanced.

As second semester begins, we also begin the process of registering for the 2022-2023 school year! Here is the process:

• Advisory lessons - Core Classes, Elective Classes, and PowerSchool Registration presentations
• Any students who were absent for registration this week will be called down to the office next week to register.
• These course selections are just in draft form and there will be time throughout the spring and summer for students to make adjustments.
• As soon as the system allows, we'll also open up the courses to be viewed in PowerSchool so students can see how their schedule is being generated. Please know that we make changes up until the last minute before school begins, so periods and teachers will change many times as we balance classes and adjust the master schedule.
• Due to the complexity of the master schedule and the limitations of PowerSchool, we cannot promise specific teachers or periods.
• Please email your child's counselor or Theresa Meyer if you have any questions.

LC Tiger Fund Scholarship

The Lewis & Clark Tiger Fund Scholarship was started by the Class of 1966 in 2006 in order to recognize an LC senior who has overcome personal and/or life difficulties and has made a commitment to furthering his/her education after graduation from Lewis & Clark High School. We know that there are many students who have potential for college success but often get over looked for scholarship assistance because their G.P.A. did not exceed a 3.5 minimum required for scholarship consideration. We also know that character and desire to improve play a large part in future success in school and life.

Two scholarships will be awarded in 2022; one for $2500 and one for $2000. Download the app here.

Applicant Qualifications:

1. Applicants must be a LC Senior graduating in 2022.
2. Must have a verifiable financial need that would make it difficult to pursue a college or university education without monetary assistance.
3. Must have had a personal life challenge/difficulty that they have overcome.
4. Must have a cumulative grade point average between 2.5 and 3.49.

Procedures:

1. Applicants must meet all of the above qualifications.
2. Must complete the LC Tiger Fund Scholarship application form.
3. Must attach a copy of their official transcript with the application.
4. Must attach a personal essay – see application for details.
5. Must attach two letters of recommendation - see application for details.
6. Must mail all documents to the Selection Committee Chairperson no later than April 30, 2022 – see application for mailing address.

Notification: Upon selection, the recipients of the 2022 LC tiger Fund Scholarships will be notified of his/her award via a personal letter and will be recognized at the Move-Up Con in June if that event will be held this year. The scholarship funds will be released to the student’s college or university upon verification of enrollment in the Fall 2022 college term.

SAT Saturday Exams

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.

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 because it takes approximately 1-3 days for the FSA ID to be verified and ready to be used. Get yours today! Learn more about FAFSA at 101: FAFSA

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.

Parent Involvement

We would love for parents to join our Tiger support organizations!

We will list all parent meetings in the calendar at the top of each LC News and on www.lctigers.com.

Masks
