FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |
|
November 5, 2021
Greeting “Tiger” Students and Families,
As we approach the Veteran’s Day holiday, I want to start my message with a huge “thank you” to all our veterans and current military officers and members who have served and continue to serve and protect our country. The work that you have done and continue to do is a testament to our core values as American citizens, and your efforts allow us all the opportunity to pursue our dreams. Thanks for helping to keep us safe and for providing a sense of pride and dignity that we all admire and appreciate.
Thank you to our parents, guardians, and teachers for engaging in conferences this week. We always enjoy the opportunity to visit with you and share the progress your student is making so far, and we know that every student has room for growth which is our standard and expectation. “Every Tiger, Every Day” will continue to have access to more, and our teachers and staff have been working very hard to assure that our students succeed. Our LC teachers and staff are committed to their craft and most importantly, they are committed to high standards for every student. With high standards comes high levels of support, and our teachers and staff have been working hard to meet the needs of students as they vary from student to student. We are very aware of the challenges created due to the COVID 19 pandemic for students and families, and we continue to revisit our practices and procedures to support the needs of our students, staff, and school.
The end of the first grading period, or the end of first quarter, is today. Please look for your student’s report card on November 15. We will distribute report cards in Advisory.
Good luck to our athletic teams as they prepare for post season competition. Exciting times for our “Tiger” student-athletes. We know you will represent LC in an excellent manner!
Stay safe and enjoy your weekend, and it continues to be such a pleasure to serve as your principal.
Mr. Corley
Principal

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

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.
