As we come closer to Phase 4, and the ability to reopen 4GK Martial Arts for onsite classes, we find ourselves faced with making a lot of decisions and changes to meet the various requirements set forth by the Governor. While many of our practices already meet or exceed current guidelines, our primary goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for our kids. With that in mind, there are a few additional changes we need to make.
While exact guidance has not yet been provided, we expect to be required to reduce capacity in our on-site classes. In order to maximize the projected space, and not have to raise prices to match supply and demand, we have decided to make some shifts in our schedule.
These shifts will allow us additional cleaning time as we disinfect between every single class. It will also reduce the number of people in the building at busy changeover times. As a bonus, the smaller classes will allow us to work more with each student as we help them readjust to a more social lifestyle.
We recognize that these changes may not be ideal for every family, so we do have some other options available on a case-by-case basis. If you absolutely cannot make the new schedule work for your family, please contact us so we can work it out.
These changes will take effect for both on-site and online martial arts classes as of July 13th.
