• To complete this step, all families will need to upload the following documents:

• All families must complete the Virtual Registration Form
• If you are registering more than one student, please only put one student's name and information on each submission and fill it out as many times as you have students enrolling at LPHS -- one student per form submission
• After enrollment materials have been reviewed, we will be in contact regarding class selection
• If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Merle (cmerle@cps.edu) or Ms. Murphy (AMMurphy12@cps.edu)

• We planned to send registration confirmations for Freshman Connection earlier this week -- however, demand for Freshman Connection exceeded our expectations, and we are working quickly to hire additional staff to support increased interest!
