Louisville here we come! The application for the Learning Center is attached. I realize that most students don't know their schedule or assigned teachers for next year but you can still fill out the application to secure your student's spot in the Center. Just write "TBD" on the application if teacher information isn't known yet and I'll follow up by email closer to the beginning of the new school year. I look forward to seeing everyone in August!
