Hello students and parents! Spring season is in the home stretch before testing! Having a consistent schedule during the week is important to promote success, shape habits, and practice self-discipline. Students should be taking time each week to practice at home, inspect their goals and review the progress they have made. A routine to support learning, retention, and performance is essential for all.
The following are some important dates to remember. Each announcement is tagged with a program to help our members know which items are most important to them. Don't forget to check our Class Schedule as well as in the school for class plans, announcements, and schedules.
Encourage your student(s) to know dates important to them so they are able to set goals appropriate to their progress. Seasonal curriculum for Tang Soo Do including dates for important classes are posted on the whiteboard by the front desk as well!
