FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |
|
June 3, 2022
Greetings Tiger Students and Families,
Hang in there seniors! You are almost to the finish line! You got this! Graduation is Sunday June 12th at the Podium at 3:30. Please pay close attention to all announcements, emails, and meetings we have planned where we will share more information and keep you informed on the specific detail that you need to know for a successful graduation experience. Let’s finish strong and be ready to celebrate your accomplishments on June 12th.
Students and families, please make sure you read our newsletter in its entirety as well as the captions that are throughout the newsletter as well. I do not want you to miss the information that is shared as we work to assure that all students and families are aware of important events, dates, and timelines to end the school year.
As shared in my previous communication, we have continued to reteach and remind our students of our behavior expectations in the hallways, restrooms, and as they interact with adults. I have the same expectations for every student here at LC which is to graduate on time with a plan beyond high school, get engaged in as many school activities as possible, and have the time of your life during your four years with us. Therefore, safety, security, and the well-being of every student and staff member is my top priority as this helps all students meet these expectations.
As the end of my first-year approaches as your new principal, I do want to share how much I have enjoyed serving as your principal. It has been a year filled with positive memories, times talking with and getting to know kids and staff and navigating through the pandemic. I have learned so much and learned in partnership with our students and staff. The future looks so bright!!
If you have any question or concerns, please email me at ivanc@spokaneschools.org or call me at (509) 354-6890.
Enjoy your weekend,
Mr. Ivan Corley
Principal

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.
