Lake Villa District 41 is committed to the 'Portrait of a Graduate,' ensuring every student is a self-advocate and a leader before they reach the high school level. Our Student Services team prioritizes early transition planning to ensure that the move from 8th grade to high school is a seamless bridge toward future independence, academic success, and vocational readiness.

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), transition planning is a mandatory process designed to bridge the gap between high school and the various facets of adult life, including further education, employment, and independent living.
