A special orientation session for freshmen is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday at the auditorium at the East Campus in Frankfort.
But freshmen aren’t the only ones who need a few extra tips about their new school. In a growing area, such as the Lincoln-Way High School District, each school year brings in a crop of transfer students.
An orientation for transfer students and their parents is scheduled from 3 to 6 p.m. Aug. 19. A session for transferring sophomores will be held at the Lincoln-Way East Campus, 201 Colorado Ave., Frankfort, and a session for transferring juniors and seniors will be held at the Lincoln-Way Central Campus, 1801 E. Lincoln Highway, New Lenox.
The Lincoln-Way Student Council is also preparing for the coming school year with a work session to be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Central Campus.
The meeting is open to all students, including incoming freshmen, said Angela King, president of the council.
The final processing of class schedules and student fees will take place over several days in mid-August in the field house of the Central Campus, beginning with seniors on Friday.
“We have scheduled all the seniors to come on the first day. We want to be sure they can get all the graduation credits scheduled,” said Jay Johnson, principal of Lincoln-Way Central High School.
Students participating in fall sports also can report for final processing on Friday.
An open house for students and their families will be held at both campuses from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 20. The first day of school is Aug. 22.
