Parent Survey

Every year, Spokane Public Schools reaches out to families to get feedback about their SPS experience. It’s an opportunity for you to let us know your thoughts on technology, extracurricular activities, school programs, and how we can best communicate with your family.

The survey will ask for the student’s ID number for demographic purposes, but survey responses will remain anonymous.

A link to the survey can be found here. Thank you for your participation!

Schedules for Next Year

Seniors and senior parents:

• Thank you for 4 great years! We are so excited to see what your next adventure holds. This is your last LC News! There is no need to unsubscribe, we will take care of it on our end. 

• If you want your transcripts sent to your college/university, be sure to have the name of the school entered in your SchooLinks. This is the system we use to forward all transcripts. If you have any questions, please email theresam@spokaneschools.org - please do not email your counselor as they are off on summer break and will not be checking email. 

Rising Freshman-Senior parents and students:

• Starting in about a week, you will be receiving our annual Enrollment Verification Email. Please respond to this email so we can ensure a smooth start to the next school year. 

• Course requests are available for students to see on PowerSchool (not on the phone app, you need to log in on a computer). If you need any course changes or have any questions over the summer, please email theresam@spokaneschools.org - please do not email your counselor as they are off on summer break and will not be checking email. At this time, students can only see the classes they have requested, not the periods/teachers. PowerSchool made changes to the system and the actual schedules will not be available online until August.

• If you are planning to do Running Start (and you have a confirmed schedule at the college), check your LC schedule and let us know if we need to drop any LC classes so that we can open up seats for other students. Email  theresam@spokaneschools.org to make any changes.

• If you selected to take an SVL class during the registration process, you must register with SVL directly (see info below) if you have not already. We will begin removing all of the SVL requested placeholders from the course requests to begin cleaning up our data. In August, the SVL system will connect with ours and the official SVL courses will appear in PowerSchool. Because SVL is a separate school from LC, we do not have access to their course lists to check if you are enrolled. You will need to check with SVL directly - SVL@spokaneschools.org.

Summer School at LC

As the summer break approaches, we want to inform you about an excellent opportunity to recover credits and stay on track towards graduation. We understand that unforeseen circumstances or challenges can sometimes impact a student's ability to complete coursework. Our summer school program is designed to help students successfully regain credits they may have missed during the academic year. 

Enrollment for Summer School runs June 5-12 here.

The 2023 Summer School program will run from June 22- July 7 (no school July 3-4). We will offer 2 sessions from 8:00-10:00am and 10:10am-12:10pm. Students may register for one or both sessions. Once the credit is recovered, students do not have to attend the remaining program days or may register for a 3rd course (if time allows). Summer School recoverable courses include those in Math, English, Science, and Social Studies. Letters were mailed home this week to any student currently failing or has previously failed a course needed to meet graduation requirements. For questions about your student’s academic progress, or courses to register for, please contact their school counselor. For questions about summer school logistics, please contact Rachel Glines. 

Please Consider Donating

Over the past three years, the LC community has raised over $27,000 of the $50,000 collected for the SNAP Lights On educator’s fundraiser.

This year we are hoping that our LC family can help us reach a $1500 match goal from GESA Credit Union.

In addition, we are sharing the opportunity to give to another charity loved by LC staff: Isaac’s Bookshelf. This organization, run by LC teacher Laura Brincken, honors the memory of Isaac Brincken. The bookshelf provides free, new books to pediatric patients in Spokane hospitals.

Can you help us reach our goal this year?

Thanks for your support!

The LC SNAP coordinators (Andrea Bass, Mark Robbins, and Jen Showalter) and Isaac’s Bookshelf founder Laura Brincken
