FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
Each morning at LC, we start with a brief Advisory session.

Advisory is designed this year to specifically address the social and emotional needs of students grappling with the educational changes that Covid-19 protocols have required: remote learning, social isolation, etc.

This morning I led a group of about 75 students in Advisory and had to stop short when I read the discussion prompt for the day: “Think about a time in the past week where you saw someone else experience a big emotion (joy, sadness, anger, excitement). Try to think about three things they might care about that could cause that emotion.” (Note: this curriculum was developed last summer and was not timed to coincide with anything happening politically here in America.)

Hoo-boy. 

This week saw a lot of emotion coming from a lot of folks across a lot of social and political fronts. I hope that you had some good and rich conversations with your students about everything we were seeing in DC.

Our students come from families who have experienced America very differently, thus, their viewpoints about how to best govern this country are very different.

I’m so proud of how civic-minded and politically-active so many of our students are and I encourage staff to model and encourage civil discourse about current events in classrooms whenever it is appropriate. I think it’s critical that our students be able to assess the sources of information with clarity, integrate information from a variety of solid sources into the formation of their opinions, defend their opinions articulately, and listen to others’ opinions as thoughtfully as possible.

This world needs well-educated and compassionate leaders and learners and I want very much for LC to be the model for this work.

TENTATIVE PLAN TO MOVE TO HYBRID LEARNING
There was good news from our school district this week when our Board of Directors announced March 1 as the targeted date for grades 7-12 to move to hybrid learning. (Hybrid learning is the model whereby half of our students will attend in-person classes on M/W, and the other half of our students will attend classes on T/Th. Currently the plan is to have students attend alternate Fridays as well, but there are a lot of details around the scheduling that are yet to be fully determined.)

I want to emphasize that March 1 is tentative – the Board of Directors was provided with a number of factors that are going to need to align before we can bring students into the hybrid model.

We need to consider school transmission trends, county case trends, the bandwidth of our contact tracing program, the fidelity with which we can sustain cleaning standards, substitute capacity for when staff are needing subs, compliance with OSPE and DOH safety regulations as well as with Labor and Industry regulations. We also will be monitoring our school-based Covid testing program and the status of vaccine distribution in our adult and student population.

Since March of last year, our district has taken advising from Spokane Regional Health District and the Washington State Department of Health when addressing in-person learning and we continue to do so moving forward.

Please continue to be our awesome partners as we begin preparations to be ready for hybrid learning as soon as it is deemed safe and appropriate.

Talk to your Tigers about how important it will be to follow all safety protocols upon return.
Remind them that school will look different – there will be new procedures in place to ensure everyone’s safety and they will feel awkward at first.

Let them know that there is apprehension and optimism and a whole host of responses to the idea of some sort of return to in-person instruction on everyone’s part and that everything they are feeling and wondering about is completely okay.

We have a lot of messaging to do in the weeks ahead. 

It’s my plan to send out a Monday video message to families (brief!) each week updating you on all of the news we are gathering and creating.

I am also going to plan on some webinars (they may be district-wide or LC-specific – still thinking…) so that families can ask questions and have them answered as transparently as possible as we move ahead.

We know that this past year has been nuts. You’ve been incredible and our staff has CRUSHED it in this remote environment.

Bottom line – we all want our kids taken care of safely and educated soundly. Let’s start leaning in and getting it done.

Get your yearbook for just 20 bucks!: Uncommon times call for uncommon measures. The LC Tiger Yearbook is excited to do its part to help the LC Community come together in June to celebrate this unique and historical year.
 
We are offering the 2021 yearbook for just $20! This price is for the 2020-2021 yearbook only and is a way that we hope we can encourage you to buy a yearbook that is full of exciting content, but will look a little different than year’s past. Here is a snippet on what you can expect:
  • A beautifully crafted hard cover book that you have come to expect from the LC Tiger!
  • Nearly 250 pages of coverage!
  • Senior Photos and Ads!
  • Month in Review Segments!
  • Unique student stories like never before!
 
Here are some unknowns:
  • Underclass student portraits: We are awaiting district policy on whether we will have a picture day at LC.
  • Sports: We hope to get sports back before our year comes to an end and we will cover them if they do.
 
It is our hope that you will continue the great tradition of purchasing a yearbook as it’s a year you most definitely will want to look back on!
 
To guarantee your copy of this year’s book you must order by January 31 in the LC Business Office or Online at: https://wa-spokane.intouchreceipting.com/. After January, books will be very limited availability and there is no guarantee that books will be available in June.

Thank you!

PSAT Update: Due to COVID rates and Spokane Regional Health Board guidance Spokane Public Schools has cancelled the PSAT Test for 11th grade students. Historically the test is given in October, but was delayed this 2020-21 school year until January and has now been cancelled with no additional opportunities provided by College Board.

Here is the guiding document from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

  • Bullying and harassment

  • Reference to drugs & alcohol

  • Show an interest in what your child is doing online.
  • Ask to see their work often, including comments and feedback from teachers and peers.
  • Agree to put all electronic devices to bed on the charger at a designated time each night.
  • Regularly review browsing history.
While the district is actively working to provide services to limit potential student exposure, such as high quality internet filters, that service should never replace other safety practices.
