Class of 2027 Course Registration Information
Parents and Students,
We are excited to welcome you all to LFHS as the Class of 2027! This email contains important information regarding dates for course selection appointments.
Pre-Registration
The first step in the process is to pre-register your student by Friday, January 20, 2023. The data you provide will be imported into our student information system and allow us to begin planning for the upcoming school year. If you have already done this, please disregard.
If you have not yet pre-registered - Click HERE to begin the pre-registration process.
You will want to return to this page after completing the pre-registration process.
Questions about pre-registration can be directed to Tiffany Smith, Registrar tsmith@lfschools.net .
How to Schedule your Course Selection Appointment
After you have pre-registered your student, you will need to schedule your course selection appointment.
On Friday, January 20, 2023, an email from DONOTREPLY@LFSCHOOLS.NET
will be sent to the primary email address of pre-registered incoming freshmen with a link to the Counselors’ Google calendars. You will use this to make an appointment for your student with their counselor. The Alpha breakdown for the counselor assignment will be included.
With the link that was emailed to you, make an individual appointment with your student’s counselor.
Questions can be directed to the LFHS Helpdesk at 847.582.7370 - Monday through Friday 7:30am to 3:30pm.

Students with IEPs or 504s
Students with an IEP will make a 15 minute appointment with their assigned counselor and will be contacted by their 8th grade special education case manager for their IEP transition meeting to review and finalize supports and select courses.
Students with 504 plans will have scheduled appointments, and will not need to schedule a second appointment using this process.
