Parents and Students,
Make sure to fill out your attendance cards promptly (w/ a picture). We do this for several reasons:
1. To see how often a student has been attending class, which helps instructors judge testing eligibility.
2. So every instructor (especially occasional ones) can be familiar with every student.
3. To keep track of student goals, which should be written out on the back of the card.
4. To help instructors keep track of which patches need to be given out. A patch list will be found on the back of the card.

Winter Weather Policy
Hard to believe the forecast is already calling for snow!
No matter how the weather plays out, it's time to remind everyone of our winter weather policy, which is dependent on Avon Grove School District (AGSD):
Bill Hammond's Martial Arts (BHMA) will be closed in the following situations
* AGSD closes prior to opening because of inclement weather
* AGSD releases students early because of inclement weather
Closings will not be reversed, regardless of possible condition improvements.
We remind everyone, this is ONLY based on inclement weather. Miscellaneous closing (such as in-service days) are not recognized.
BHMA will remain open if AGSD is only delayed because of inclement weather. However, we ask that you regularly check the gym blog, email list, and voicemail in case we make a judgement call to close.
Saturday inclement weather closings will be announced on the gym blog, email list, and voicemail.
