May 26, 2023
Greetings Tiger Students and Families,
Happy Memorial Day weekend to our LC students and families, and I hope you enjoy the extended weekend. I am honored and fortunate to be able to cheer on our track and field athletes who have worked so hard this season and have earned an opportunity to compete at the state track and field championship meet in Tacoma. Tyler, Evan, Katie, and Bridget competed today, and Bridget, Evan, Owen, Brayden, and Evan compete on Friday and Saturday as well. So far, each of our student-athletes have performed remarkably and achieved seasonal, personal, or close to their best efforts of the season or their careers. Evan placed 3rd overall in the 1600-meter race. So proud of them, and so proud to be a Tiger!
As we get closer to the end of the school year, we continue to provide additional support and resources for all students who need help with academics. We have been offering a “Move it up May” after school support for students in the Commons from 2:45-3:45, Monday through Thursday. So far, the participation has been awesome. Students are taking advantage of this opportunity to access more academic support from teachers and peers. Our students want to be successful and reach their full potential. Another example of our students working hard and having high expectations.
We are also reminding all students of the importance to be at school every day and on time and giving their best efforts as there is still plenty of time to improve in all classes. If students or families have any questions about grades, fines, fees, transcripts, graduation information, or any other end of the year concerns, please contact your student’s counselor or contact me at ivanc@spokaneschools.org. We are happy to help with whatever you need!
Enjoy your weekend and Happy Memorial Day.
Mr. Ivan Corley
Principal

Happy Friday Tigers!
We hope you all are enjoying the warmer weather. It was encouraging to see so many Tigers taking advantage of the courtyard to eat, play games, and connect with friends during lunch. PLEASE PICK-UP your trash when outside. The last thing we want is bugs, ants, and trash hindering our ability to take advantage of our beautiful grounds.
We are in the last few weeks of the school year (Seniors you only have 10 more school days) and it is imperative that we stay focused, attend every day on time, and power through to the end. If you need additional academic support, Homework Center after school is available to all students. Move it up May will continue through next week with additional staff support and tasty treats!
This weekend is a time to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. While you are enjoying the 3-day weekend and beautiful weather, take a moment to honor and remember those on Memeorial Day. You can do something as simple as holding a moment of silence or donate time or money to an organization such as Wounded Warriors Project, The Fischer House Foundation, or America’s Gold Star Family.
See you all on Tuesday!
Reminders:
-
10s: Students may not be out in the hallways the first 10 minutes of class OR the last 10 minutes of class, please plan accordingly.
-
Cell Phones: District policy on cell phones is they may only be used in class in cases of emergency or with teacher approval. That means if your teacher doesn’t allow cell phones to be out...PUT IT AWAY. Please adhere to your teacher’s classroom policy.
-
STUDENT IDs/ENTRY POINTS: We are a CLOSED campus. Any student arriving after the start of the school day (8:00 AM) will be required to present their student ID upon arrival to enter the school. ID replacements can be obtained in the student office (there may be a charge applied). TWO Points of Entry ONLY: the main front entrance and the commons entrance (ADA compliant entrance) both located on 4th Ave. DO NOT OPEN DOORS FOR ANYONE to include your friends or individuals you know are students. Rather direct them to one of the approved entrances. Students that open doors for any individuals will undergo administrative disciplines. Visitors MUST report to the public office to check in and obtain a pass.
-
Attendance and Tardies: If your student is absent, please call on the same day or send your student with their valid excuse to be submitted to the office upon return to school. If an absence needs to be excused, please do so through our attendance office 509-354-6968. TARDIES: if you are late to 2 or more classes or have 3+ tardies in the same class, you will be issued Lunch Detention. Failure to appear to lunch detention will result in further disciplinary actions. Pre-arranged absence forms for non-district approved absences (ex. Vacations) can be obtained in the student office or by emailing Abby Murray at abigailm@spokaneschools.org
3122 Excused and Unexcused Absences (spokaneschools.org)

Spokesman Review Internships
The Spokesman-Review, with grant funding from Bank of America and support from the Innovia Foundation, is excited to bring back the Teen Journalism Institute summer internship program for a third summer.
The program will host four fully paid positions for an 8-week session that begins June 26. Last year, many of our interns continued their work with The Spokesman-Review as part-time jobs through the school year. Students must be between the ages of 16 and 18.
Eligibility: This opportunity is open to incoming high school juniors and seniors enrolled in public or private school, or home schooled. Interns must be able to get to and from The Spokesman-Review newsroom in downtown Spokane each day, with parking provided. Because of the large amount applicants this program receives, students must be able to attend all eight weeks of the program.
Deadline: Applications must be submitted by June 9. Applications submitted earlier will be given preference.
What You'll Do: Working directly with Spokesman-Review editor Rob Curley, as well as with other senior editors and reporters on the newspaper's staff, students will:
- Learn the basics of journalism, including how to conduct interviews, setting up meetings with the people who will be the sources for their news stories, basic research skills, working in an office environment, and, of course, how to continually improve writing skills.
- Write news and features for a daily newspaper
- Work in every department in the newsroom, including photo, news, features and sports
- Attend twice-weekly sessions with newsroom staff and outside experts to learn about different aspects of journalism and its civic mission
- Attend daily news meetings with the editors of The Spokesman-Review to see how stories are developed and selected to run in the different sections of the newspaper
- During the final weeks of the program, students will decide as a group on a longer-term, community-service based journalism project to be published in The Spokesman-Review
Apply here!
