We are excited for all of our students participating in rank exams throughout this week. All beginner students should have a goal of two classes this week, and all advanced students should have a goal of at least three training classes this week. Need extra help in your exam preparations? Schedule a private one on one lesson with the front desk. Finish up on your skillbuilder and character builder merit badges this week, and get those turned in.

We will have the following merit badges available this training cycle:
Skillbuilder Merit Badge: A minimum of 1x per week, students should run outside a minimum of ten minutes. If the student does not have a place to run, and/or not good weather, they may stay after their training class, and complete their merit badge requirements. Parents should have dates and minutes (minimum of 60 minutes) completed when completing the merit badge by April Rank Exams.
Character Builder Merit Badge: Students should earn at least one "Let me brag on my child" achievement within the training cycle. The parent should choose exceptional behavior demonstrated by their child, and complete the "Let me brag on my child" card. Remember, what gets rewarded, gets repeated.

Academic Learning Stars: Please be sure to get your academic teachers to fill our your Partners-in-learning forms so you can earn your academic stars. Forms can be found at the front desk.

Please remember all students eligible to participate in rank exams should have registered by 03/29. If you would still like to participate, please see the front desk to register. An additional $10 late registration fee will apply. The academy will be operating on regular schedule on Monday (03/31) and Tuesday (04/01). Exams are highlighted in red, and training classes are highlighted in black. Please remember to have a nice, neat, clean, Tiger-Rock Official Training Uniform at the exams.
