Important Notes for FLC sign up • Please sign up for FLC as soon as possible. Space in each session is limited and therefore, we cannot guarantee the date of your choice if you wait until spring to choose your date. • Things to check prior to scheduling your FLC: o your child’s athletic involvement – February athletic season is very busy and may require lengthy travel for your child o SAT or ACT testing – check with your child to be sure he/she has not signed up for these tests on the same weekend as the FLC o your regional retreat date does not conflict with the FLC weekend you have selected • We recommend Senior Families do their FLC with their child before the winter break.
