[MUST READ] New Parking Areas Beginning January 2, 2024
Great news! Beginning Tuesday, January 2. LVA's temporary parking lot will be open and available for parking, causing some changes to the parking guidelines we have had for the past several weeks. Please keep the following in mind as you arrive at school on January 2:
- The temporary parking lot is located in the space previously occupied by the tennis courts.
- Vehicles will both enter and exit the lot through gates on Clark Ave.
- Once parked, students will walk onto 7th St through one of two gates and then to their classroom.
- The Staff parking lot behind Post Hall and the Staff parking spots in the Lowden parking lot will revert to being for LVA staff only.
- The temporary parking lot will be open for concerts. Please note, though, that it will be locked at 9:30 each evening [or close 20 minutes after the conclusion of performances ending after 9:30] and will remain locked until the following school day.
- Please click here for a map of the vehicle and pedestrian gates for the new lot.

Henderson Silver Knights Invite Supporters to Toss Stuffed Animals on the Ice for Children's Charities
Our annual Lucky Launch is right around the corner next Wednesday, December 20th! This is our biggest community-driven game of the year where we encourage fans to bring a new stuffed animal to donate and toss on the ice at the game when HSK scores and all toys are then collected and donated to local children’s charities! This year we have 6 local charities and 3 foster care/children hospitals we are looking to support by donating stuffed animals so we need as much help as possible from the community to come to the game and bring stuffed animals to donate.
Below is a discounted ticket link for all CCSD staff and Schools for that game, as well as a ticket package link that includes a ticket to the game and a teddy bear to toss on the ice.
