Welcome parents of the Class of 2021! We will be serving as your Association of Parents and Teachers (APT) Freshman Parent Representatives this year. Lake Forest High School (LFHS) and the APT have planned a few Freshman Parent meetings througho
ut the year aimed at promoting communication among parents, teachers, administrators and our community. Offered in an informal Q&A style, the meetings are informative and
provide a unique opportunity to meet both staff members and other parents. Typical locations for freshman meetings are the David Miller Theater (DMT) or Raymond Moore Auditorium (RMA) as indicated. Please always double check information on the LFHS website as times and locations may change.

Your student will pick up their text books and Chromebook and also get their locker assignments and combos. Bus schedules will also be available.

Students who lose/forget their locker assignment or combination can see Cindy Rogna in room 104 for assistance.
