Content Provider:
or place you're connecting to.
Preferred Time: What time does the class meet? What is the earliest you could do the program? When does the program need to end at the latest? The more information you give, the easier it is to schedule. Please don't write "anytime!" We don't know when your school day starts and ends, when lunch is, or when your recess/breaks are.
Which days of the week are best? (i.e. Mon and Thu):
Give a Range of Dates (i.e. Sept 10-22): Give a range of dates that will work for you, such as a two week window. The more flexible and specific you are, the easier it is to schedule.

Please double check your requested dates against your school's testing, vacation, and events schedules.
