LC Parent/Student Running Start Orientation

We will be having two Running Start Orientation Nights.

Orientation Night is the next REQUIRED step in the application process if you are planning to do Running Start next year! The first orientation will be on Wednesday, April 27 from 6:00-7:00pm in the Auditorium. The second will be on Thursday, May 5 from 6:00-7:00pm in the Auditorium. You and a parent will only need to attend one. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Noonan at 509-354-7002 or email SamanthaNo@spokaneschools.org.

SVL Fall & Summer Registration is Open

To access the SVL registration system, visit the SVL Registration Website. SVL registration is a two-step process. Once students complete the online registration process, they will receive an email with a link to their SVL registration form (accessible for 30 days) and directions for completing the fully digital registration process. Once the link expires, you can request from the SVL office (not the LC office) to resend the form or students can restart the online process.

SVL slots are first come, first served, so don't delay your registration!

Library Book Drive

This is Cat Traxler. I am a member of the Lewis and Clark Student Curators; we work to increase student engagement with the LC library and are currently organizing a book drive and sale. We are accepting gently used books (which appeal to all ages) to later sell as a drive for library funding. The Spring-Cleaning Book Drive will take place from now until May 6. Just drop off your books in the library or the Public Office.

April 30 is Independent Bookstore Day. The LC Student Curators will have a table set up at Auntie’s on that day with books we hope to add to our circulation (chosen by students). Anyone who buys a book for LC gets 15% off their entire purchase.

SBA and WCAS State Assessments

The required state assessments for 10th grade (SBA English and Math) and 11th grade (WCAS Science) are coming in April/May. These exams are all computer-based, so students will need to bring their fully-charged school laptop and charger on their testing dates (you cannot use a personal device for the assessments, but we will have laptops available for use).

We will be doing block schedule for testing. Zero Hour and 7th Hour classes will continue as normal.

• 10th English - April 25-28 - in English classes
• 11th Science - April 25-28 - in the library, during Science classes. If you don't have a Science class, you'll get an invitation for a specific date/time. If you are Running Start, email Theresa Meyer for a date/time.
• 10th Math - May 16-19 - in Math classes

The Little Mermaid

As our society continues to navigate what our world will look like with a return to normalcy, this production has allowed us all a small escape. It is a moment to reflect on the value of following your heart and listening to your intuition. It helps demonstrate the importance of the unconditional love of a parent and trials of friendship from those closest to us. Just as Ariel bravely faces a completely unfamiliar world, our world is also full of change.

The cast and crew have spent countless hours working to create Disney magic. The artistic staff and Stagecraft class have explored creative ways to bring an animated film to the stage in such a way that entertains and delights audience members of all ages. The true test of our success in this venture will be seen in the eyes of our youngest audience members and the lessons we can all take from this timeless story.

LC Tiger Drama invites you to join us under the sea April 22-23 at 7:00pm and April 23 at 2:00pm for The Little Mermaid ($10 for adults and $7 for students) in the LC Auditorium.

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

Financial Aid (FAFSA)

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opened October 1. It is highly recommended that all LC Seniors file the FAFSA - it is FREE to file. 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.
