Transportation Study

• Overview Jefferson and Tecumseh traffic pours
  into the same street at the beginning and end of
  the day. Due to the chaos this causes parents

Weather Station

• Objective Maintenance of the Weather Station
• Weather Station Overview The weather station is
  a console that collects weather data such as
  high/low temperatures, humidity, barometric
  pressure and precipitation. LSC has provided web
  access for the weather data to the students and
  it keeps the data updated by hosting the
  information on the LSC server. Our goal is to
  maintain the station throughout the semester.
