Registration

Currently Enrolled Students

Lake Forest High School District 115 uses an online registration system (PowerSchool). Parents will receive a SnapCode email for each District 115 student. Your SnapCode email contains a personalized link to complete online registration and fee payment.

To attend Book Pick-Up, participate in Fall athletics, and start school in August, the online registration and fee payment process must be completed by the registration deadline.

We encourage families to complete the online registration upon receipt of the SnapCode email. Your student's registration will not be completed until you have submitted the online registration and fee payment. You will receive a confirmation email after submission.

If you did not receive your SnapCode email, please contact Tiffany Smith at tsmith@lfschools.net or Natalia Martinez at nmartinez@lfschools.net.

Electronic Student Residency Verification

All students registering at Lake Forest High School District 115 are required to provide proof of residency. Lake Forest School High District 115 has contracted with a third party firm to automatically check information provided during the registration process against electronic records. In the event that residency cannot be verified electronically, a member of our staff will reach out to you to obtain further information and documentation.

LFHS E-Newsletter

mySchoolBucks

Lake Forest High School is pleased to provide our families with a convenient, easy and secure online prepayment service to deposit money into your student’s school meal account. This service also provides parents the ability to view your student’s account balance through the website www.myschoolbucks.com. By having money in each student’s account prior to entering the school cafeteria, the lunch lines will move along more quickly allowing your student more time to relax, eat and be with friends. Students will swipe their ID at the lunch line, the cashier will verify the student’s identity and the account will be debited. Register now!

Naviance

Naviance is a web-based application that allows students to view registration information and to help with the college search process. There is a college visit schedule to see which colleges will be coming to LFHS. You can also use it to find quick information on a college or to generate a list of schools that matches your interests. Don’t miss out on all this program has to offer. If you are having difficulties logging on to Naviance please call Tiffany Smith at 847-582-7313 to reset passwords.

PowerSchool

PowerSchool is a web-based program that allows students and parents the ability to check grades and attendance for their classes. Staff updates grades in PowerSchool on a regular basis. If you are having technical issues with PowerSchool, or need login information, please call the technology helpdesk at 847-582-7370 and they can assist you.

Students and parents have separate Powerschool accounts. New students are given their account information as part of the registration process during the summer or at school. Parents of new students are mailed a printed copy of their parent account information after the school year begins.

Parent accounts are not the same as student accounts. The PowerSchool parent account allows parents to sign up to receive emails for grades and attendance so they do not have to log in as often to view this information. Email notification can be sent daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or by request.

If you do not see the email notification icon when you log in this probably means you are signing in as your student with their account information.
