SENSEI SEAN MILLIGAN
Sensei Sean left for military training two weeks ago. As he achieves success in his training, he wishes success for all of you in receiving your next belt rank. If you would like to send him a letter please do so, I'm sure he would love to hear from each and every one of you.
* Write letters and put them in envelopes with your address as the sender. I will have preprinted labels for Sensei Sean.
* Hand the letter to me and I will be sure they get mailed out in a timely manner.
** If I am not at the check-in desk please give the letters to one of the other secretaries. I will collect it from them.

CLASS CANCELLATION THURSDAY, JULY 3, 2025 INFORMATION
Due to a scheduling conflict last Thursday's class was cancelled. I will let everyone know who has paid for the class if/and when they will be credited for that day. Since it was a cancellation not at the fault of the students, they will not need to make up the class. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

IMPORTANT TESTING INFORMATION
1. Testing will be held at your regular class times – we try to stay within each classes time frame, however with large
classes we may run a few minutes over, we appreciate your patience if this does occur.
2. Perfect attendance is required before testing. Students will be allowed to test if they have 1 or 2 absences, if the
absences are paid and the “make-up” classes are attended before the semester ends. Students with 3 or more
absences will not be allowed to test this session but should still plan on attending class. Speak to your instructor or
class assistant for more information on make-ups. Make-ups cannot be done on testing night due to time constraints.
3. All students are required to attend class on testing day; however, they are NOT required to test. Students who do
not want to test will participate in a practice test.
4. The fee for testing is $12.00 plus the regular class fee. If you have prepaid the entire semester you will be charged
$12.00 for testing. On testing night, students will individually check in with the class assistant or instructor.
5. Belts are NOT sold; they are earned by students! Belts are free to students when they pass the test.
6. Spectators are not allowed to watch during testing. The students are nervous enough without an audience.
Furthermore, we need a quiet atmosphere for the testing. We appreciate your understanding and support!
7. Testing day/night may run a little longer than a normal class, we appreciate your patience!
8. Students are always encouraged to practice outside of class, but if they have attended class regularly, they should be
adequately prepared for the testing!
9. Do not call the office or the instructor to see if a student passed. Certificates and awards will be presented on Awards
Night, which will be held on the dates below. Information on the ceremony will be provided the day of testing.
Remember that ALL students having perfect attendance will receive a certificate.
10. Students are increasing in rank exactly as they should be if they advance one rank at a time. Some students will skip
ranks if the instructor thinks that they are ready.
