FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK | | |
|
December 10, 2021
Greetings “Tiger” Students and Families,
I hope this message finds you well and excited for the upcoming winter break. Compared to winter break 2020, or break time for 2021 has such different potential from what we experienced last year due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Although the pandemic still exists, we have with the support from our students, families, staff, and community been able to move forward and make progress. We have been back in school for in-person experiences for three and a half months. Way to go “Tigs.”
As we approach this last week before we enter our two-week winter break, please be aware that your student’s mid-quarter grades for the second quarter of first semester are due. Parents can view their student’s progress in PowerSchool. Please look at these with your student and encourage them to continue to give their best effort. Hard work and perseverance do pay off!
When we return from winter break, we will continue preparing for our “Rubber Chicken” event and game, and the students are excited for this opportunity. We will provide more details regarding this event and the safety protocols that we will need to follow for all students, families, and staff who attend this event. We are looking forward to participating in this awesome community and school event and working with our partner high school to help support specific needs within our community. Our students are looking forward to their service-learning opportunity and the fun and excitement that the game and being with their peers will generate. Stay tuned!
If you have any questions or ideas to share, please reach out to me by email at ivanc@spokaneschools.org or by phone at (509) 354-6890.
Grateful to serve as your principal,
Mr. Corley

Join us for The SpongeBob Musical December 10 at 7:00pm and December 11 at 2:00pm in the LC Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students. Over 60 students are in the cast and crew of this incredible production.
Synopsis: We find ourselves in the undersea city of Bikini Bottom, inhabited by happy-go-lucky and ever-optimistic yellow sea sponge SpongeBob and his equally quirky circle of friends and neighbors. SpongeBob’s pleasant existence is abruptly interrupted when it is discovered that Mt. Humongous, a nearby volcano, will erupt within the next 48 hours and completely obliterate Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob, trying to prove to himself and the world that he is not “just a simple sponge,” resolves to save the day when everybody else has given up all hope.Though SpongeBob is incredibly fun and family-friendly, its timeless story of identity, crisis, and community is also a witty allegory that examines and critiques the politics of the modern era, and it does so in such a way where children will appreciate and understand the plot line, while adults can read between the lines and extract even more from the musical’s message. SpongeBob features an eclectic score of music, each song having been written by a different musical artist with the purposes of recreating the type of musical hodgepodge exhibited by the original television series.1

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.
