February Family Update

The Learning Center 2025

Winter Weather

Greetings TLC Families. We hope you were able to stay warm and safe throughout this extreme winter weather. Let's hope that February is a little more calm.

During the month of February, we will be focusing on student academic success in the classroom. Remember, we want all of our students to pass ALL of their classes and remain on track to graduate. If your student is struggling, please reach out to your student's Advisory teacher or Ms. Jamill Smith our ESS Coordinator (jamill.smith@fayette.kyschools.us) to sign up for after school tutoring. ESS will start on February 11th and will be available every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:15-5:15.

In addition, during the month of February, we will be focusing on preparing for the ACT in all of our core content classes (English, Math, Science, and Social Studies). All 10th and 11th graders will be taking a free and official ACT test on March 11th. Eighth and ninth graders will be taken a practice ACT and 12th graders will be working on college entrance exams. For more details and how you can support our efforts, please review the following resource: ACT Resources for Students and Parents

Please make sure you have access to Canvas, EOS, and Infinite Campus, so you can support your student behaviorally and academically.

Please review the important dates below. Here are a couple of important dates that I would like to highlight and provide a little more detail.

February 12th and 26th are Working Wednesdays. Students will be in the community and they will be dismissed around 1:00 pm.
On February 25th, students will be able to take the ASVAB in the library. The ASVAB test is required if a student desires to enlist in the armed services.
On February 27th, our first progress reports will be sent home with students.
On March 1st, there will be a Special Programs Showcase at Tates Creek High School from 10:00-2:00: Showcase Flyer

Finally, please take the time to nominate a staff member that made a difference for your student(s):

TLC Robotics Team

Bravo to TLC's Yet-to-be-named Robotics Team, who won 2 of 5 rounds at the State Championship Meet. Each of the students displayed poise, grit, and gracious professionalism. Way to go team! Shout out to Mr. Brusate for leading this group and dedicating countless hours before and after school to make this an unforgettable experience for these students.

Lunar New Year

The students who participated in celebrating the Lunar New Year (Saturday, January 25) in the Eastside Library did a spectacular job impressing the visitors. They effectively facilitated activities, decorated the venue beautifully, and managed the game booths skillfully. Thanks to the Eastside Library, Henry Clay High School, Rise STEM Academy for Girls, Dunbar High School, and Lexington Korean School. Over 100 families and students attended to enjoy and celebrate the Lunar New Year. Please applaud these students
