All important information for the week, or changes to class schedules will be under IMPORTANT NOTICE. The class schedule for both locations will also be included. All children must be checked-in online, and in-person in order for us to get a proper attendance count. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

SPECIALS - 30 minutes ($3.00)
Sensei Sean would like to invite all green belts and above OR students who are 8 years old and above to join our Specials Class. For the Fall Semester we will be learning Staff. Specials are available at Ashton Ranch from 7:30 pm - 8:00 pm and at Kingswood from 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm.
- A Staff can be purchased from ActivStars Athletics, the links are at the bottom of this email.
- You may purchase a 1" or 1.25" diameter dowel rod from Lowe's or Home Depot to use as a Staff. The Staff should be about the same height as the student or a little shorter. I am 5'3" so I use a 5' Staff.
- Sensei Sean has a limited number of Staffs to lend out for the class.
- Specials can also be used as a make-up class by paying the regular class fee of $9 or $10, depending on which class your child is in.
CLINICS - 60 minutes ($10.00)
Any Clinics we provide will be done at Kingswood Elementary on Saturdays from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm, and Invites/Notices will be sent out prior to the Clinic

- PRIOR TO CLASS (ONLINE)
Please be sure to CHECK-IN ONLINE using the same username and password you used to register for class. At this point you will either be paying for class or just checking-in (Paid in Full/Prepaid Students). If your student is staying for sparring/specials, please be sure to pay the $3.00 upon check-in.
***Students not checked-in ONLINE will be counted as Absent (Paid in Full or Prepaid) or Not Paid (Weekly Pay Students) even if they show up for class in person.***

AT LOCATION (ONSITE) - All Students, Parents/Guardians, and guests STAYING for class will be temperature checked.
- VERY IMPORTANT! Please check in with the Parent Secretary upon arrival. This is to ensure that students are accounted for correctly. ***Students not checked-in in PERSON as well as ONLINE will be marked as Absent or Not Paid.***
- ABSENCES: Absences must be made up prior to the testing date for each location. All students must have perfect attendance prior to testing. Absences can be made up by doing the following:
- Come to an earlier class from the student's regular class.
- Stay for an extra class.
- Use Specials or Sparring (Green Belt and above) class as a make-up at the student's regular class price of $9.00 or $10.00
- Go to another location for class. Email/text me to find out more information.
- If a Parent/Guardian would like to stay for class, you may do so by signing a yellow form stating that you are a Parent Helper. Parent Helpers should be able to assist the instructor during class. The yellow sign sheet is asking for the parent/guardian information, such as Date Of Birth, not the student's.
- Parents/Guardians staying in the class must be able to assist when Sensei Sean asks for Volunteers.
- Children that are NOT in the karate program are NOT ALLOWED in the gym during class. However, they are more than welcome to stay in the hallway with a Parent/Guardian.
- Students that are Not Paid for 3 weeks in a row will be prohibited from attending class until the balance has been paid.
- Please help us with keeping the location clean. Do not throw tissues or paper towels on the floor. Please do not make a mess in the bathrooms. We would appreciate your assistance with this.
STUDENTS- Please be sure to BOW before entering the GYM (facing the gym/cafeteria)
- Please be sure to BOW before leaving the GYM (facing the gym/cafeteria)
