Inclement weather policy If classes are canceled because of

bad weather, an announcement will be posted to our Facebook page and a message will be recorded at the school. Please call 289-0201.

If we are closed, we will not open later in the evening, even if the weather improves. If we are open and weather conditions deteriorate, please double check before coming to class, as we may close early.

As always, if classes are not

canceled, please use your discretion before deciding to travel to class. Your safety is very important to us!

Please label jackets, gearAs the weather gets cooler and

students begin wearing jackets to school, please remember to label all items with your child’s name. Don’t forget to label each piece of sparring gear. A lost-and-found bin is located near the locker rooms. At the end of each semester, any unclaimed items will be donated to charity.

Help keep our lobby clearPlease do your part to keep the

lobby and seating area clear. All shoes, jackets, bags, etc. should be placed on shelves in the changing area or on the shoe shelf outside of the main office. Do not leave shoes on the floor where others may trip and fall.
