English Station News

Christian Academy of Louisville rising first – sixth graders for the 2026-2027 school year are invited to join us June 15-19, from 9:30-11 a.m. in the elementary music room (124). Drama Boot Camp: Where Confidence Takes the Stage is directed by Dr. Jeanie Hoover, Elementary Music and Performing Arts Club Director.

Dr. Hoover will be teaching a fun drama workshop to help develop skills in vocal projection, body language, facial expression, getting into character, auditioning,etc. Students will be playing lots of fun drama games and doing warmups and short improvisations to work on these elements of drama! This workshop will be different from “Captains, Castles and Capes” so students may choose to participate in both to make a full day.

If a student is participating in both drama camps and would like to stay in between the two camps each day, they may sign up for lunch hour. Students should bring a sack lunch and a drink but will be supervised by Dr. Hoover. Alternatively, if someone from either of the two drama camps would like to stay an extra hour or come an hour early, and have lunch with the others, they could sign up for the lunch hour.

Registration for Drama Boot Camp is $85 and Lunch Hour is $20 per student. Complete registration for one or both or all three opportunities (including Captains, Castles and Capes) here.

Another year is “in the books!” Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in educating and loving your children. It is time to wrap up courses and that means the return of textbooks. 

You and your student will begin receiving weekly informational emails from the Media Center. The emails will show all library books, fines (incurred during the year for copies, late books, lost books, etc.) and textbooks currently checked out to them. Use this email to make sure the barcodes we show checked out match the barcodes you have (located on the front cover of the book).

Textbooks are collected during the last week of school. Please remove all papers and book covers before returning. Your student’s teacher will schedule a time for Media Center staff to come check in all books.

Loss or Damage:

Students MUST return the textbook that was assigned at the beginning of the year. Any item checked out which is not turned in to the Media Center by May 28, will incur a non-refundable fee equaling the total of the item(s) not returned and fines not paid, even if the items are returned after this date. This fee will appear on FACTS and will trigger grades and transcripts to be held until the balance is paid.      

If the textbook is damaged to the point that it cannot be used next year, (ripped pages, water damage, etc.) your FACTS account will be charged the replacement value of the textbook. We do not accept books purchased by you as we have special binding and rates with a vendor.    

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us collect all resources in a timely and smooth manner.
