What are the pre-requisites for attending?

• There are no pre-requisites. Computer Applications is NOT a pre-requisite. There are recommended grade levels for some classes. Those recommendations can be found on the curriculum page.

What about the LPS Technology Graduation requirement?

• LPS requires 10 credits in technology for graduation. That typically means two computer classes in the regular high school. Each course at ITFP is worth 10 credits. Therefore, one course at ITFP will meet the current LPS Technology Graduation requirement.

When do classes meet?

• Each class meets for 100 minutes daily. Students either attend morning classes from 7:35 - 9:15 AM or afternoon classes from 1:30 - 3:10 PM. Tuesdays are District PLC days and the schedule is 7:35 - 8:55 AM and 12:45 - 2:05 PM. Students may attend both sessions if their high school schedule permits. Students attend their home high school when not at the ITFP. Classes meet for the entire semester and are worth 10 credit points.
