Classes Cancelled Tonight due to weather

Good afternoon,

As a follow up to my earlier email - It is somewhat slick, even on State roads.  I have decided to cancel tonight's classes.  If you must travel, please stay safe while doing so.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you very much,

SCS Weather Reminder 2/9/21

 Good evening everyone.

There is an all day storm forecasted for tomorrow, with accumulations up to about 5" or so.  I will not make a decision on classes until tomorrow afternoon.  This is just a reminder to please be sure to check your email and/or our Facebook page prior to leaving for your scheduled class.  

Thank you and stay safe!

Online Learning

Good morning all,
I hope you are all well.

The original emails for online learning said we will go until May 1.  As we continue to wait out the Stay at Home directive, I will push out the end date.  I am now anticipating end of May, but I hope it is sooner.  I just wanted to make sure everyone was informed.

Stay well, everyone.

Wednesday Classes

Please use the same link or meeting ID from Monday's class.  I will be sending out a new email next week that will probably have adjusted times and dates.
Thank you.

Virtual Training News

Good afternoon everyone!  I sent an email about Virtual Training out a little while ago.  It is pretty lengthy so please check it out and get back to me ASAP if you have not already done so.

Thank you !!!

Online Classes Starting

Hey everyone!  I sent out an email a little while ago and have already heard from a few people.

We are going to be trying Zoom for online classes as early as Monday.  Please respond to me email if the times that I listed are good for everyone.  I want to be as flexible as possible. 

This will be a lot of trial and error for me so please bear with me.

Thanks!

Sensei John

SCS Update 3/23/20

Good evening everyone.

I just wanted to check in with all of our students and their families and make sure everyone is holding up.  I would also like to thank our first responders, healthcare professionals and all of the other folks who are going to work to perform essential functions.  You are very much appreciated.

I hope everyone is practicing and trying to make the most of staying at home.  I am still working on coming up with a virtual lesson plan but it is a struggle.  If anyone has anything they would like to see, let me know.  I will probably work on it this week and try to set something up toward the end of the week or following.  A lot will depend on me leaving the house to go to the dojo.  I think I will be OK since there is no one else there but we will take it as it comes.  I will probably start with a short meeting of all parents and adult student to go over the format.  I am leaning towards Zoom, which will require you to download a small app to your phone or computer.  A camera would be helpful but not necessary.  That depends on your comfort level.  Stay tuned...

By the way, Adults and Advanced Students, the forms are up.  I was trying to get them all done last night, so no judgement :)

If anyone has anything they want to reach out about or if anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Practice Schedule Out!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I just sent out an email with a practice log and schedule attached. Please check it out. Hopefully it will provide a good distraction and keep the rust from setting in! Thanks everyone! Stay well!

School Closed Temporarily

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are closed until at least March 31, 2020,  I hope to reopen by then but only time will tell.  Please bear with us as we all try to get through this crisis.

On another note, two years is way too long to go between posts.  Due to time constraints I have had little time to update this news site, although I try to keep Facebook up to date.

If anyone would like to volunteer, I would be grateful.  If not, it's OK.  I will try to be more diligent about posting news here.

Be well everyone!
