November 18, 2022
Greetings Tiger Students and Families,
I hope this newsletter finds you and your family doing well and looking forward to having time to spend quality, slower paced time with your family and friends. As I reflect on the past few years during the winter and holiday months while navigating through the COVID 19 pandemic, it has been a while since many of my family members and closest friends have been together. I am looking forward to gathering and sharing laughs, memories, pictures, and family stories that never get old. Hopefully, you and your families can share similar experiences and ones that mean the most to your family.
As we approach the end of November and get closer to the end of 2022, it is a very exciting time for our seniors. Many of them have applied to college, universities, and other post high school opportunities which, in most cases, require letters of recommendation to support their admission applications. I have had the pleasure of writing letters for our students, and I am so proud of our seniors and how hard they continue to focus on their academic success. They are very goal oriented and have such a clear vision for their futures and the positive difference they will make in our work force, community, and world. If you have a senior who has questions, needs support, or help with post high school aspirations, please have them connect with me, their counselor, their teachers, and Mr. Norton our college and career specialist. We are here to help support, guide, and provide information whenever needed.
We continue to assess how our safety and security protocols are functioning and assuring that our school is safe and an environment where all students can learn and thrive. Recently, we have had Vape sensors installed in the restrooms and more will be installed over the next few days and weeks. Our security camera system is being upgraded to a much-improved system that will allow us to have more areas of our campus covered, and the view from each camera is much clearer. We are fortunate to have three Campus Safety Specialist who do an amazing job of building relationships with students and staff and being a visible presence throughout our campus.
This year has been off to an amazing start, and it continues to go well due to our amazing students, staff, and due to the support from parents and families. Let’s keep the positive momentum going, together! If you need to connect with me, please email me at ivanc@spokaneschools.org.
Thankful to serve as your principal,
Mr. Ivan Corley

Connect with Principal Corley
I would like to invite parents/guardians to join me for a new LC Parent Advisory Group.
We will meet the 4th Monday of each month (next meeting November 28) from 6:00-7:00pm in the LC Commons. I hope to see your there!

TEACHING & LEARNING UPDATES | |
|
-
1st Quarter has officially ended! Spokane Schools no longer mails/prints report cards, but you can check Quarter and current 2nd Quarter grades on PowerSchool. Quarter grades are a snapshot in time, so PowerSchool is going to have updated grading information that is always more current. If you need help getting on PowerSchool, email Karen Payne.
-
2nd Semester planning is underway. We have built all of the 2nd semester classes and will soon start rolling students into those courses for the February 6 start of 2nd semester. When the rollover process begins, students will notice that 2nd semester Teams will begin appearing in their Teams list and the classes will appear in PowerSchool. Because almost all of our courses are full year, we will automatically register students for their 2nd semester classes. If your student needs a schedule adjustment, please contact the counselor to discuss options.
-
Registration for next year. In late January, we will begin the process for selecting classes for next year. We will use a number of Advisory periods to share information with students to help them with their selections. We will also share the information in the LC News so that parents are connected to the opportunities available. Our goal is to have schedules finalized before summer and there will be many opportunities to make changes throughout the process.

Happy Friday from the Student Services Team!
District data was updated and LC has the LOWEST number of chronic absences for all the high schools in the district! Way to go Tigers!! We appreciate all of you who make a genuine effort to get to school and all your classes on time! Keep on the lookout for rewards coming soon to celebrate and acknowledge all the positive hard work our Tigers are doing. We have a few new procedures being adopted please read below for more information.
Reminders/Updates:
-
STUDENT IDs: Any student arriving after the start of the school day (8:00am) will be required to present their student ID upon arrival. While it is not district or school policy that students wear their IDs, it is policy that they have them on their person while attending school or school events.
-
Vape Detectors have arrived! With the impending installation of our newly arrived vape detectors, we would like to remind students of behavioral expectations in the restroom and of disciplinary action should a detector be set-off. All students leaving the restroom during or after a vape detector is activated will be subjected to search for prohibited items. Students found with prohibited items will undergo disciplinary measures. Please be mindful of your fellow students and leave such items at home.
-
Hallway and Bathroom Sweep Reminders. Everyone has been doing an amazing job of utilizing the bathrooms and passing periods appropriately. If you need to use the restroom and do not have enough time in between classes, please report to your class, and wait the 10-minute hold time before following class procedures and heading to the restroom. One pass per person per classroom. Vandalism of any school property will result in discipline, no exceptions.
-
Attendance and Tardies: Parents may not Parent Request (PRQ) their student for any reason other than the district approved excused absences/tardies. If your student is absent, please call on the same day or send your student with their valid excuse to be submitted to the office upon return to school. Absences due to a family trip or known extended absences must have a pre-arranged absence form on file that can be obtained in the attendance office. Our attendance policy is in accordance with the district policies and can be found in the upcoming student handbook and was presented during last week’s advisory lessons. We take the safety of our students and staff seriously. Unauthorized movement onto and from campus jeopardizes our ability to maintain a safe environment. If an absence needs to be excused, please do so through our attendance office 509-354-6968. 3122 Excused and Unexcused Absences (spokaneschools.org)
-
Lunch Policies: LC is a CLOSED campus. Students are not permitted to leave campus during lunch. Parents may NOT excuse their student to leave campus during lunch. Allowing students to leave jeopardizes the safety and security of the students and the campus and is not permitted. Students, please clean up your mess after lunch. Most of you have been doing an exceptional job! We heard a rumor that Mr. High-Edward has been randomly handing out prizes to students actively keeping our school clean!
- Students interested in participating in a Student Life committee focused on school wide culture, encouraging positive behaviors, enhancing LC spirit, increasing inclusivity, giving students a voice, and building a strong positive LC community please email Mrs. Glines with your name, grade, and brief explanation as to why you would like to be involved to: rachelgl@spokaneschools.org.
Have a wonderful weekend and we will see all of you on Monday morning...on time (9:00am)! 😊

Graduation Honors
At graduation, all Spokane Public Schools use the same Latin Honors system to honor our top graduates. We will identify our Latin Honors students at the end of 1st semester.
Here are the frequently asked questions about the Latin Honors System.
Why has the SPS School Board made changes to valedictorian status?
- For years, Spokane Public Schools recognized valedictorians – which almost every year were students with a 4.0 GPA. The problem with this policy is that it recognized grade point averages only, which actually discouraged students from taking more challenging courses.
Why did the SPS school board decide to use the Latin Honors system?
- Prior to weighted grades being implemented, the highest GPA a student could get was a 4.0. With weighted grades, every honors and AP course has the potential to bring a student’s weighted GPA higher. The top tier of the Latin Honors system (Summa Cum Laude) recognizes approximately the top 3 percent of the senior class, instead of those who took the most AP and honors courses. The goal is to reward students who work hard, take rigorous courses, and have a well-rounded schedule.
How will the Latin Honors system work?
- This system recognizes the top students at each high school using weighted grade point averages. Students have the ability to get three different levels of recognition: Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Cum Laude. These are the same designations that colleges across the nation use to recognize top students. These designations would honor approximately 3 percent (Summa), 5 percent (Magna) and 12 percent (Cum Laude) of our current senior class for each category.
How are grades weighted?
- Weighted grades are calculated by providing higher points for grades earned in Honors courses and still higher points for grades earned in AP courses:
- Unweighted Courses: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0
- Honors Courses: A=4.5, B=3.5, C=2.5, D=1.5, F=0
- AP Courses A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, F=0
- Because SPS uses a +/- grading scale, the above table is only a sampling of options. The easiest way for students to calculate the weighted grade point average is to add .5 to the GPA for honors classes and a 1.0 for Advanced Placement classes.

Washington College Grant
Washington College Grant (WCG) is one of the most generous financial aid programs in the country. Recent high school graduates and working-age adults from many low- and middle-income families can qualify to receive money for college or career training. Amounts vary based on income, family size, and school or program cost. An eligible student from a family of four with income of $64,500 or less per year would get a full award. There is no separate application for WCG. Students should complete a federal financial aid application (www.fafsa.gov), which colleges will use to determine eligibility and make awards. Apprentices enrolled in a program at a community or technical college should also complete a financial aid application.
The Husky Promise is a tuition program at the University of Washington for any accepted UW students who fill out the FAFSA and qualify for Pell Grants. The Husky Promise will cover the difference in tuition that institutional grants or scholarships do not cover.
| | |
|
FAFSA App is Now Open!
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opened October 1! It is highly recommended that all LC Seniors file the FAFSA - it is FREE to file. It is the first step in getting financial aid -- including grants, scholarships, work study, and loans - from any college, technical school, or career training program. 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. Seniors who apply for the FAFSA can also earn a chance at 400 $500 and 10 $40,000 Big Future Scholarships through the College Board. Get more info here.
