LOR'S ASAP

There is a difference between a LOR and a SOE (School Official Evaluation). The SOEs are required on the WP application. A LOR is not.

The WP application requires 3 SOEs. One each from an English teacher, a Math teacher and a Physics OR Chemistry (NOT Biology) teacher that you've had in high school.
The SOE is part of the Leadership evaluation so it is not all about academics.
A SOE is not what you think of as a typical recommendation. After you submit the names of the teachers that you would like a SOE from, WP will send them an email that will have a list of about 12 questions that they answer on a 1-5 scale. At the end, they can write a few words in a text box.

For your noms, you will need the typical, 'I personally know this candidate', LOR.

You are correct in that you need to be thinking now about who you would like your SOEs from. Tell them before school is out and ask for an email that they check regularly in the summer and submit that email with the info that you give WP about these teachers.
All of this will be explained in the SSK insrtructions once that opens up this summer.
