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!

October meeting highlights:

• Discussion on the LCTV1 News show and how parents want to see it as well. Here is the link to the YouTube page. LCTV1 News is shown every Tuesday during Advisory. It is a student-produced show that features updates, events, and highlights.
• Question about how parents can know what duties the Administrators cover. Here is a link to our Admin Duties.
• We discussed Mental Health and the resources available. At LC, we have 6 counselors and 1 mental health therapist who are excellent resources during the school day (you can call 509-354-6966 or 509-354-5680 to be connected to a counselor in an emergency). If school is not in session, here is a link to community resources including emergency mental health contacts.

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.

Student Drop-off/Pick-Up: Buses pick up students all around the perimeter of the school. Please do not park in these locations before school/after school. We recommend arriving for pick up after the buses have left at 2:40pm.

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 lots under the freeway directly in front of the main building and the Commons and the parking garage are only for LC staff and are monitored and ticketed for cars without staff permits.
