With more students choosing electric bikes and scooters to get to school, campus pathways and parking areas are busier than ever. To keep morning drop-offs smooth and everyone safe on foot, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Gear up before you roll: Always wear a properly fitted helmet. Even at low speeds, a spill on concrete can cause serious injury.

• Observe pedestrian zones: Foot traffic always has the right of way. Dismount and walk your wheels once you enter crowded courtyards, crosswalks, bus loading areas, and building entrances.

• Watch your speed: Keep your speed under 10 mph near school property and match the flow of surrounding pedestrian traffic.

• Park with consideration: Lock bikes and scooters upright to designated campus bike racks. Keep wheelchair ramps, stairways, doorways, and fire exits completely clear.

• Stay alert and unplugged: Keep at least one ear free from headphones or earbuds while riding so you can hear horns, approaching vehicles, and crossing guards.

• Ride solo: Most personal e-scooters and e-bikes are built for one person. Doubling up makes steering unstable and stops much harder.

Thank you for doing your part to protect our school community and keep campus paths safe for everyone!

The blue button below links to the Illinois Secretary of State website that provides information regarding the upcoming changes to e-bikes. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.or concerns.

Is your student looking for volunteer hours? National Honor Society frequently receives requests for student volunteers that are also open to any Lakes student who is looking for hours.

LCHS athletics experienced an exhilarating week across multiple programs, highlighted by the successful launch of the winter season for girls wrestling, competitive cheer, and competitive dance, alongside the girls volleyball team capturing the IHSA regional championship by defeating Prairie Ridge in straight sets after an opening-round victory over Cary Grove. Although the football team fought hard before falling to Wauconda in a memorable playoff run, the fall season reached a thrilling crescendo with stellar cross-country performances at the Woodstock North IHSA sectional.

Senior Hannah Salbilla and sophomore Madison Schrader punched their tickets to the IHSA state championship in Peoria for the girls cross-country team, while Cooper Summy delivered a phenomenal 2nd-place finish in the state's toughest 2A sectional to lead the boys program. With volleyball advancing to the sectional round and potential history making state championship appearances ahead, LCHS athletes continue to make extraordinary waves.

We believe quality instruction must always be based on accurate data in order to systematically meet all students at their respective levels of development and encourage consistent growth. Testing is an integral aspect of this process. Our goal at CHSD117 is to strike an ideal balance between accurate assessment and quality instruction. Here is the D117 Assessment Calendar.
