New Student Info
Freshman Year Classes
A tentative program has been built based on your enrollment form. Your freshmen year classes are available on the Class of 2029 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 complete the online enrollment form by May 8th 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.
Optional Summer Reading
All students enrolled in an English class are encouraged to read throughout the summer. Please visit the Lane Tech English Department website after May 23rd for the suggested summer reading lists for each English class.

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.
**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.

Incoming freshmen can purchase a Ventra cards during Quick Start for $6, and will receive their card during the first week of school. If you have an existing CPS Ventra card, you should continue to use it. The student rate is not available during the summer. The Ventra card also serves as your CPS student ID.
