Freshman Year Classes

A tentative program has been built based on your enrollment form.  Your freshmen year classes are available on the Class of 2027 Course Selections page.  Math courses will be updated based on the results of the CPS Algebra Exit Exam and Lane Tech math placement exam.  Language and music classes will be updated after exams and auditions take place. Students who did not get into their first choice for elective or language are on a waitlist for those classes. Students who did not complete the online enrollment form by May 3rd will have delay in viewing their classes.  Actual schedules will not be available until Quick Start.  Mentor information and Advisory (homeroom) will be available at a later time on the Course Selections page.

Current LTAC students received an email from Ms. Hildebrandt after course selections that listed the seven courses that the student will take next year as well.

All students who are participating in any sport or summer sports camp must also complete an Illinois High School Association (IHSA) physical form in addition to the CPS physical form. These can be completed at the same time by your doctor. Both forms are required for students participating in any high school sport or activity.  Click here to access the IHSA physical form.

**Some schools have required students to have a physical completed before graduating eighth grade.  Physicals are good for one year.  At the time of Quick Start, students who have had a physical within the year can submit the existing physical.  Students should then submit an updated physical when their current physical expires.
