In case you are not on my mailing list, or did not see my e-mail...(let me know if you would like to be added to our mailing list)
Good morning Parents, Students and TaeKwonDo family,
I hope everyone has been staying safe and healthy at home, whether they are still working out or not :-)
My last update to everyone six weeks ago introduced our online Zoom lessons. Since then, we have done over 70 Zoom classes and they seem to have gone very successfully. We have performed five online Promotional Testings, and have even done a few in-person, socially distant rank ceremonies. Though the time for our Zoom classes is not yet over, my new update brings good news that we are getting closer to opening back up fully.
We have now officially received our permit from Marlboro Township PD to hold outdoor fitness classes. We are permitted to use the lawn in front of the school on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. Our standard tuition and class guidelines will go back to normal, meaning our kids' class will be unlimited access - you can come any or all of the three days available. Adults and private lessons will have access to in-person time slots on a first-come, first-serve basis for those same three days. During this transition from online lessons to in-person lessons, on our way back to regular classes, the Zoom lessons will still be made available, but the current schedule may need to be adjusted to work around our in-person classes once the in-person schedule has been determined. If you are not ready for in-person classes yet, you are more than welcome to continue your Zoom lessons - please let me know this is the case. If you are ready for in-person classes, you are still welcome to continue Zoom lessons in addition to in-person classtime.
Our permit does not give us full ability to do our classes, however. There are safety "guidelines" to which we must adhere at all times during class, including class size, required distancing, etc. Therefore, in-person classes will be by appointment only. If you are interested in joining our in-person classes, please respond to this e-mail, or text me at 732-334-8199 with any questions you may have and also with an approximate time or times that you would prefer for all three day options. I will pick a time that makes the most sense based on everyone's response, along with my schedule. I will respond, answering your questions, informing you of the new rules and regulations we must follow and what time classes will be held. Since today is Monday, we are not yet ready for our first in-person class, so we are looking to do the first one this Friday, 6/19. If you are interested in coming on Friday, please try to get back to me by Wednesday so I can set a specific time by Thursday. Anyone who already has Zoom lessons scheduled for Monday - Thursday will still be at your scheduled time, unless you let me know that that does not work for you this week. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Please, continue to stay safe and healthy, the end is hopefully in sight. I can't wait to see all of you again soon.
Thank you.
Master Lane A. King
