COVID-19 Update 03/20/20

03.20.20 By Brian MacDonald

It’s been a very busy week for us as we’ve been mapping out how to respond to the shifting landscape we find ourselves in. We’ve been consulting with many other school owners and consultants in our industry to try and figure how to best serve our students as we all ride out the next few weeks and possibly months ahead. We are taking things a week at a time and where next week was scheduled to be our testing week that is the subject of this week’s update.

Tara and I have completed putting together the review videos and testing format for each class. Tomorrow you will receive a link to the videos for the students to watch to aid them in preparing for the test you will administer at your convenience next week. We will also be sending you a detailed outline of what to record for us. (If you do not receive the email with the video links, please contact us.)

As difficult as this situation we find ourselves in is, it has given families a chance to spend more time together than the business of life usually allows. We hope this process will provide an enjoyable experience for you to share with your child and give you some deeper insight into our testing process and what we are trying to develop in our students. When your child is happy with their video email it over to us, or if you choose to use YouTube (or any other video-sharing site) send us the link. Once we have viewed it we will respond with a result and, if appropriate, some feedback.

In next week’s update, we will share with everyone what training will look like for our students as we await a return to normalcy! We have been developing a method of utilizing both YouTube as well as the zoom platform to allow our students to continue their training in a unique way that is both user friendly and personal. We’ve got a lot of exciting material to present but for now, let’s focus on next week’s test!

Stay Safe and Healthy!
Brian and Tara
