To prepare for the first day of school on August 19, students and their parents/guardians should attend the Welcome Back Tigers event to pick up class schedules, IDs, bus schedules, locker assignments, purchase PE uniforms, receive important information for the upcoming school year, and more.  Assistance completing the free and reduced lunch application will also be available.  The event will take place at Joliet West High School on August 5-8 by grade level and last name.  Enter the building through Door 14 (Field House Entrance).   

Immunization Requirements for Freshmen, Seniors & Transfer Students  
Incoming freshmen, seniors, and transfer students who have not already turned in the required state-mandated proof of immunization must do so upon arrival at the event.  Incoming freshmen and transfer students must submit the completed State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination Form. Incoming seniors require documentation of one dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine on or after their 16th birthday. Additional information regarding vaccine requirements can be found HERE. 
 
Event Schedule 
The Welcome Back Tigers event schedule is below.  Students should attend on their designated date and time to help reduce the flow of foot traffic in our building; however, families with students in multiple grade levels can attend together on a single day.  View the Welcome Back Tigers Letter for more information, including a checklist and description of each event station. 

We look forward to seeing you at the event!
