FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |
|
January 28, 2022
Greetings “Tiger’ Students and Families,
As we approach the end of first semester and are still navigating through this pandemic, I want to share how staff and students are doing their best to assure that everyone’s needs are being met. The needs for students and staff vary, but we are committed to exhaust every resource we have to assure that success occurs. It has not been easy, and things are changing constantly, but you cannot take the “fight” out of our “Tigers.” Every day, I am so impressed by what I am so fortunate to see the resilience and energy focused on trying to do the right things the right way to help keep us in school for in-person learning and other vital experiences.
We must continue to require that students and staff wear a mask while in the building and all indoor school events and activities, fully covering the nose and mouth. I know we have been doing this for a while now, but it is keeping us safe and in school. You can find the most updated information on our SPS website.
I am hopeful that we will have the “spirit” basketball game with Ferris next Tuesday, and information should be coming out today to our schools and families. Since we do not have school on Monday, semester break day, please pay close attention to your email, and we may send home a phone call as well with an update.
Thank you for your willingness to work with us and help support your student. We need you, we value you and your voice, and together we “got this.” If you have any questions, please reach out to me at ivanc@spokaneschools.org.
Always grateful to serve as your principal,
Mr. Corley

Parents and guardians of students who are exhibiting symptoms, have tested positive, or have been exposed inside or outside the household need to fill out this form.
NOTE: Families that have already contacted their school nurse and have not yet received a call back from a contact tracer should fill out the form to determine their student’s return date.
After filling out the form, please contact the LC attendance line (509-354-6968) to report your student(s) dates of absence. Please also continue to wear a mask, practice good hygiene, and stay home if you have any COVID-19 symptoms.

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.
