What are classes like at the ITFP?

• Students attend the ITFP for a minimum of 100 minutes daily and attend their home school for the remainder of the day. ITFP courses are scheduled from 7:35 - 9:15 AM, 1:30 - 3:10 PM. Students may attend both sessions if their high school schedule permits.
  
• Much of the course work is web based, interactive and to a large extent self-paced.
  
• Students learn to assume more responsibility for their learning. The ITFP environment provides students with many resources and options.
  
• Students will have the opportunity to directly apply the skills gained in courses by participating in apprenticeship experiences within LPS and the community. Guest speakers, projects, field trips, and apprenticeships are an integral part of the program.
  

What about transportation?

• Transportation is not provided to or from the ITFP. However, parking is provided for students. Check here for the parking diagram. For those students who do not drive, public transportation may be a possibility. It is also usually possible for parents to arrange for car pooling to and from the ITFP.

What about fees?

• There is no fee for attending the program. It is a program offered by Lincoln Public Schools. Currently, the school can serve approximately 80 secondary students per semester.
  

What about grades, attendance, lunch, etc?

• Report cards are prepared and distributed by the ITFP. They are the same format used by the Lincoln Public Schools.
  
• The administrative offices of the home schools are notified of the student's attendance at the ITFP.
  
• Students must meet the same graduation requirements as all other district students.
• High school transcripts are Lincoln Public School transcripts.
  
• Students only attend 100 minutes a day, so lunch service is not provided at the ITFP.
