September 16, 2022
Hello Tiger Students and Families,
Our first full week of school, and our students and staff continue building positive relationships, getting acquainted with routines, procedures, and classroom and schoolwide expectations, and working hard in the classroom for academic growth and success. When asked by parents, guardians, students, staff, community partners, and family friends, “Hey Mr. Corley, how is the school year going?” I am so proud to share how it is one of the best starts I have ever experienced because we have the best students and staff. To sustain the great start, we have going and assure that this year goes as well as possible, I want to extend on the opportunities we provide for parents and guardians to be more involved in your child’s school experience and have an active voice to support our work together for every student. Therefore, we will host a Parent Advisory meeting every fourth Monday of each month. The meetings will start at 6:00pm and end at 7:00pm. We will meet in our commons/cafeteria area. Our first meeting is on Monday September 26. Our first meeting will consist of meeting staff, hearing about the start of this school year, upcoming school events and activities, and then there will be time for questions. I look forward to seeing and meeting you soon!
A few reminders for students and families as we continue to keep students and families aware of some safety measures that support students. Please remind your student to lock all car doors, make sure that personal items are not left in their cars, and to report any incidents to administration or campus safety staff as soon as possible. Increased security measures are set to be in place very soon, such as increased lighting, security cameras, and signage indicating that our parking lots are under surveillance. For students to enter the building each day, we will have the doors on the north side of the building accessible for students to enter the building for zero hour classes as well as for the 8:00am start time for first period. The safety, security, and well-being of every student and staff member at LC is a top priority for me and my entire staff.
If you ever have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to connect with me by email at ivanc@spokaneschools.org or by phone at (509) 354-6888.
With gratitude,
Mr. Corley
Principal

AP/College Board Accounts
If you are enrolled in an Advanced Placement (AP) class, you will need to create or access your existing College Board account (this is only for students that have a class with "AP" in the course title). Your account will give you access to AP Classroom resources and access for ordering your AP exams (we will order exams later in September). This account is not connected to your school accounts, so you will need to save the login and password (LC teachers do not have access to your login info, so if you forgot your login info, you will need to recover it on the AP website). Click here to go to the College Board website to either make sure you can access your account from last year or to create a new one if you are taking your first AP class.

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: Buses pick up students all around the perimeter of the school. Please do not park in these locations before school/after school. We recommend arriving for pick up after the buses have left at 2:40pm.
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 lots under the freeway directly in front of the main building and the Commons and the parking garage are only for LC staff and are monitored and ticketed for cars without staff permits.
