Test Fee Waiver form - See Mrs. Meyer

Registration Update Week 1:

• In the Business Office: 19 students registered/paid for 44 exams
• On the College Board website: 267 marked yes, 960 undecided, 10 marked no.

Remember: you need to 1) mark yes or no in the College Board app for EVERY class . If you mark yes, you need to complete the paperwork online or in the Business Office to pay for your exams.

AP Test Registration Window Is Open October 1-31: 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.

FamilyID Athlete Registration

FamilyID is a secure registration platform required for all LC extracurricular activities and athletics. Register here:

• Open an account using a valid email and password of your choice.
• Within minutes, you will be sent a link to begin registration.
• After selecting your program and completing registration be sure to click Confirm Registration.
• You will see a confirmation page and you are done!

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.

• LC Boosters - athletic and activity support
• LC IMPA - band, choir, orchestra parents
• LC STAGE - theatre parents

Masks

All students, staff, and visitors must wear masks that cover the mouth and nose at all times while in the building. Disposable surgical masks, 2-3 ply fabric masks, and 2-ply gators are all appropriate. Mesh/knitted masks are not appropriate. We have disposable masks for students who forget to bring one from home.
