A DEDICATED PROGRAM
Dedicated to the wellbeing, self discipline, physical fitness, positive social interaction, self esteem, self-defense and self-control of our young martial artists.
HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK
We will pick your child up from select area schools and bring them to U.S. Taekwondo. Upon arrival the first priority is their homework. We will assist them the best that we can, but we will not do it for them. If for some reason a child does not have homework, we will give them something constructive to do that will be in line with what they are learning in school at that time. Then it will be time for them to change into their Taekwondo uniforms for class depending on the day of the week. (See tentative age group schedule)
WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED
U.S. Taekwondo will not be providing lunches or snacks. Please make sure you pack your child’s lunch and snacks for the day if in summer camp and maybe a snack for after school. They will also need a school uniform for their Taekwondo classes. Any other items that may be necessary for special events or field trips will be announced.
SECURITY CHECK IN AND OUT
A secure, safe environment is at the core of U.S. Taekwondo. When you arrive or leave U.S. Taekwondo your child will be checked in and out on the sign-in sheet. This gives staff and instructors up-to-the-minute attendance lists.
To ensure children’s safety, U.S. Taekwondo keeps a file of names, addresses and phone numbers of people authorized to pick up each child in case of emergency. The file is based on information provided on the enrollment forms. Notify U.S. Taekwondo in writing of any changes, as children cannot be released without proper authorization.
Anyone picking up your child must show proper identification, such as a driver’s license, before we can release your child. It is U.S. Taekwondo policy that no one under sixteen years of age (unless it is the child’s parent) is permitted to pick up a child.
In the case of divorce, it is important that you indicate on the enrollment form who the custodial parent is and who may pick up your child. The parent with custody is required to provide us with a copy of the divorce decree, which will be kept confidentially in your child’s file.
EMERGENCIES
If a fire, severe weather or other emergency occurs, it is crucial that children react in a safe and orderly fashion. Children participate in regular drills and practices so they will know what to do in the case of and actual emergency. Should an emergency happen, we will notify you.
