FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |

December 17, 2021
Happy Holidays “Tiger” Students and Families,
The weather outside is trying to support the holiday season, and I was wondering when the snow would arrive again. It has been a while and seems to want to surface for our winter vacation. I want to wish you and your families a happy holiday season. Enjoy time with your family, loved ones, and friends, as many of us were limited on spending time with family this past winter break due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The pandemic is still within our community and world, but we have made progress that has allowed us to enjoy being back in school, spending time with our friends, peers, and colleagues, and enjoying watching and supporting our many activities, performing arts, and athletic events.
So much to be thankful for and so many reminders of how giving and thinking of others during these times continues to be so important. I share with you my sincere thoughts and heartfelt wishes for a safe, peaceful, and enjoyable winter break. See you in 2022!
With joy and gratitude,
Mr. Corley
Principal
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

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.
