FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |

January 21, 2022
Greetings “Tiger” Students and Families,
The end of first semester is a few days away, and a new semester will soon begin. An opportunity for or students and staff to continue the amazing learning and growth that has occurred for students and an opportunity for a “fresh start” for students as well. We are looking forward to a strong second half of the school year and hopeful for that this pandemic slows down, and we can provide more opportunities for our students and staff to have memories that make the high school experience a very “special” time for everyone. I have truly appreciated your patience and understanding during these challenging times.
Please continue to encourage your student to wear their mask while in school and to fully cover their nose and mouth with the mask. This is important to assuring that we are keeping everyone safe. If you have any question about COVID 19 guideline, please visit our SPS website at spokaneschools.org.
We are still anticipating participating in our “spirit” game with Ferris High School. More information will be coming out soon. I know our kids and staff are looking forward to this experience. We will continue to provide updates by email and the use of our phone system. If you need to update your information, please contact our data processor, Karen Payne by email at karenp@spokaneschools.org to update your information.
Appreciate your partnership with us and enjoy your weekend. Stay safe and well!
Mr. Corley
Principal

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.
