Families will meet with an LTHS staff member who will review placement test scores & core class placement, and discuss elective options. Below is a sample course worksheet, which will be similar to the one you will receive at Registration. Please read/discuss the elective options amongst your family BEFORE Registration Day. LTHS staff members will answer any questions you may have during your registration appointment.

Physical and Dental Exam Requirements
By state law, all students entering 9th grade must have a complete physical exam documenting all immunizations and a dental exam.
Parents/Guardians should schedule medical and dental appointments as soon as possible and submit exam documentation to the Central Campus Nurse as soon as it is completed. Physicals are due no later than July 1, 2025.
Physical and Dental forms may be emailed/scanned to nurse@lths.org or faxed 815-588-8279, dropped off, or mailed to:
LTHS-Central Campus
ATTN: NURSE
1222 S. Jefferson Street
Lockport, IL 60441
School physicals must be dated within one year from the start of school, and are valid for 13 months from the date of the exam. School physicals do count as a sports physical if the physician checks the Interscholastic Sports box on the backside of the exam form. Sports Physicals, however, do not count as school physicals. The Health History portion of the physical must be completed by the parent/guardian and signed.
Students will be excluded on the first day of school if the physical is not turned in and approved by the LTHS Nurse's office.
Dental Forms must be dated after November 15, 2024.
Physical and dental forms can also be found under Health Services.
