transcript requests. There is a link for instructions on our counseling web page,
under “Transcripts.” Students can also fill out a request form in the main office.
Verification for Enrollment (VOE)
: Attendance clerks process this request and will
need advance notice so signatures can be acquired from administration.

student if he/she is ill more than 3 days. Most teachers are moving to Google
Classroom for assignments and can be reached via email, as well.
Grades

You will need your student ID number and email to set up.
Common Questions We Get:
Schedule Changes:
LISD has a policy we must adhere to. It can be found in both
the Course Offerings Book and High School Handbook mentioned previously.
Forms are made available during the beginning of school year, but only after the
announcement has been made, and can be picked up in the counseling suite or
administration office.
Letters of Recommendation
: There is a GOLD PACKET for students to fill out and
return to their counselor at least two weeks prior to deadlines. This packet can be
accessed on the counselor web page, under “Recommendation Letters.”

Transitional Math Courses aim to prepare high school seniors for college-level math through experiential learning aligned with career pathways. The courses ensure guaranteed placement upon completion, promoting college readiness and reducing remediation. Students completing the course with a C or better can directly enroll in college-level math courses at any community college in Illinois. Assessments help identify students projected as ready or not ready for college-level math, offering tailored opportunities for each group.
