Parents
:  During your child's scheduled Lunch, Study Hall, or Athletic Study Hall please visit the Commons and Student Dining Room for information on school sponsored clubs, activities, service opportunities, the LFHS Foundation, APT, Applause, Pals, and Boosters.  Also, feel free to visit our Library/Media Center (Room 100).  The Booster Store will be open all evening. It is located by the Main Entrance. 
   
Stop in the Makerspace (Room 50) to see where students build prototypes, explore questions, share resources and knowledge, and work collaboratively using cutting edge technology.

Counselors will be located in the hallway by their offices (Room 102) . Social Workers and School Psychologists will have a table in the Student Cafeteria and welcome you to stop by during Lunch or Study Hall. Representatives from Lake County Tech Campus will be in the Commons. We will also have a Schoology information table in the Commons. Feel free to stop by and learn more about the learning management system.

A member of the Technology Department will be available in the Library to help you setup or re-establish access to the PowerSchool Parent Portal and Website Accounts. You can view current and quarter grades on PowerSchool.  Semester grades will be mailed home.   
 
Parking/Shuttle Buses
Due to the fact that parking on campus is extremely limited, I would encourage you to take advantage of the shuttle buses from Lake Forest Market Square Train Station and the Lake Bluff Train Station. Buses will run continuously starting at 5:30 p.m. and will end at 9:30 p.m.
 
Late Start Day - Thursday
Thursday, September 7 is a Late Start Day for all students and faculty. School will begin at 10:05 a.m. and the school day will end at 3:20 p.m. There will be one bus route. View Morning Late Start Bus Schedule (afternoon routes and times will remain the same) View Late Start Class Schedule.   

I am looking forward to seeing you on September 6th.

Sincerely,

Chala Holland
