FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |

May 20, 2022
Greetings Tiger Students and Families,
May Week, our week to come together as a LC school and celebrate our diversity, has been a huge success. Our students and staff have really enjoyed this week and the different activities and performances that have been on display. We have truly enjoyed being together, in person, and having this opportunity to enjoy spirits days and this aspect of the high school experience. I am so proud of our students and staff!
I also want to take this opportunity to share what we are working to do to improve our parking lot issues. The safety and security for all students and staff is a top priority for me and for our school district. Please see the message below that I shared with families by email on May 19, 2022. If you have any questions, please reach out to me by email at IvanC@spokaneschools.org or at (509)354-6890.
May 19 message:
I’d like to thank the students and families who have brought their concerns to me regarding security issues with the parking lot across from our school. I understand the time and effort it takes to address broken windows and stolen items, as well as the stress of wondering whether your property will be safe. This parking lot is owned by the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and managed by Diamond Parking. We are currently working with WSDOT to address your concerns. Going forward, SPS will:
- increase lighting
- install security cameras
- add signage
- increase patrols during and after school hours by campus safety staff
- explore the use of emergency call stations
School safety is our top priority, and we respond immediately to address issues whenever they are reported. You can help us in our effort to improve safety by doing the following:
- always remember to lock your vehicle
- avoid leaving valuables in plain sight
- keep your phone and car keys handy when walking to and from your vehicle
- be aware of your surroundings and try to walk with a friend
- if you see something suspicious, say something
- report all incidents to LC administration; LC administration will help students contact Crime Check
- contact Crime Check after hours and on weekends at (509) 456-2233 to report a crime
- If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at IvanC@spokaneschools.org or at (509) 354-6890

Learn about Working on a Film Crew | |
It’s time to dispel some of the myths and mysteries of working on a union film crew. IATSE Local 488 is the union that covers most film crew members of the Pacific Northwest. In this hour-long event, 488 VP Rebecca Cook will be discussing some common questions and misconceptions about union film work, including how to join the union, what it means to be a union member, and if union work is even right for you. We'll also give green filmmakers some basics on moving into professional film set work. We hope to answer any questions participants have about starting the journey into professional film crew work that they may have been afraid to ask. It's a great talk for students and new filmmakers or anyone wanting to understand where unions fit into our industry work.
Wednesday, June 1 @ 6:00pm on Zoom. Register here.

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.
