Class of 2027 Resource and Information Hub

First Day and First Week of School Resources and Information
 
Important Information and Reminders: Student Schedules
  • Student schedules are viewable in Aspen (for students) and Parent Portal (for parents/guardians)
  • Students should always follow their schedule in Aspen/Parent Portal
    • Some student schedules have been updated/changed since Quick Start -- always follow your schedule in Aspen for the most up-to-date schedule
  • <update> In an effort to encourage the use of Aspen/Parent Portal and to respect the environment, we will not have hard copies of schedules
    • All students should access Aspen for their schedule; parents/guardians can also access their student's schedule in Aspen/Parent Portal
    • Support will be available for students who do not have access -- support will be available at the entrance to both buildings (Freshman Building and Main Building)
  • Tip from upper class students (seniors and juniors) at LP: Take a screenshot of your schedule in Aspen (from your cell phone), including room numbers
    • Cell service isn't always the best at school, so having this screenshot saved on your phone/device will be helpful
    • Also consider taking a screenshot of the FB or MB maps (or have them saved on your phone) to help you navigate during passing periods
Submit Required Start of School Year Forms

Student IDs and Ventra Cards

  • Thanks to everyone who took their ID picture at Quick Start! 
  • If you did not take your ID picture at Quick Start, visit the Library (in the Main Building) during lunches (starting August 21) to take your picture
  • Remember: Student IDs also serve as Ventra cards for the CTA!
    • Students receive discounted fares when using your student ID on the CTA
  • For students who took their ID picture during Quick Start, we anticipate Student IDs/Ventra cards to be ready for distribution during the end of the first week of school
    • All other IDs should arrive about one week after you take your picture
    • IDs will be delivered to students through one of your teachers

Missed Quick Start? Need your ID Picture Taken or a Chromebook?

  • If you did not attend Quick Start, stop by the Library (in the Main Building) during your lunch period to have your ID picture taken
  • Once you take your ID picture, it takes about one week IDs to arrive; when IDs arrive they will be distributed through one of your teachers
  • Chromebooks will also be distributed in the Library during your lunch period -- look for signs in the Freshman Building with more information!
