Hello students and parents! Fall season is nearly done! As we move into November, our children are ramping up for upcoming testing! Students are reminded to take time to practice their skills at home. Coming to class should be time for refinement and learning; time at homes should be for repetition, remembering, and building good habits. It is important to balance academics and school activities appropriately with your martial arts practice.
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!
- Nov #kigong Chisholm classes with Mrs. Wickstrom will continue via Zoom Tuesdays and Saturdays at 9:00am. Contact her for the Zoom invite.
- Nov #kigong Palo classes with Mr. Wilkes will continue at the Loon Lake Community Center on Thursdays at 10:00am. Contact him for more information.
- Nov #haidong #tangsoo #tigers #cce At the end of this season, we will be making even more changes to the school. We are in the process of launching a new student portal. This project has been ongoing for a couple months now, and it's gotten to the point where we can start using it. We are constantly adding features to it and updating data that has been entered in Kicksite. We will be moving away from that solution earlier than anticipated because all of our testing has been going amazing. What this means for students: Spark and Kicksite will be no more - all of our school management will be done through our custom software that Mr. K has been developing. There will be some bumps along the way, but overall, this will bring a better experience for all. Things of note: all billing will be done through this system using Stripe. In addition, this will allow us to open an online store and bring better control of your account to you. You will be able to update your contact information, renew your memberships online, review invoices, review attendance, review rank promotions, sign up for events and belt testing, browse the online store, and more.
- Nov 10 #tigers Tiny Tiger fall season testing. No Tuesday class on Nov 17 - plan to attend promotions.
- Nov 11 #cce Community Education color belt testing in Chisholm.
- Nov 11 #tangsoo Sparring Day! Class starts at 5:00pm with a casual entrance. Come and go as needed as usual. If you have questions, contact an instructor.
- Nov 16 #tangsoo Color belt testing will be happening in class on this day. We will start at 4:30pm as normal, and will go until all material has been graded (usually before 5:45pm). New white belts should all attend to be graded. Students that have color on their belt will be graded if they had submitted the Intent to Test form before its deadline.
- Nov 18 #tangsoo #tigers Color belt promotions for all tang soo do students and tiny tigers. Belts will be awarded, board breaking will happen, a group photo will be taken. ALL students are encouraged to attend to support those that have tested (and to break boards and be in the photo). Because promotions have been much more efficient over the last year, we will be changing this to a 5:00pm arrival time with a 5:15pm start time.
- Nov 23 #tangsoo #haidong Winter season begins! All students must be up-to-date on tuition and invoices at this time so we can get a clean start with the new software.
