Happy Monday Team!
We are more than halfway through February already, which means Spring is just around the corner (at least, on the calendar — who knows, we may be besieged by snow for another few months the way this year is going). 2024 has been off to an incredibly strong start and I am excited to see how this year unfolds. There has been a ton of big growth on the mats, with students really leveling up their skills.. overall the tide is rising and it’s been a lot of fun to experience all the progress.
Our big update and challenge as we move into March is the adoption of some new attendance/registration policies. Our recent migration over to the MyStudio system has allowed us to again enable class pre-registration and check in. Yes, this is one additional thing we will have to all do. And yes, it will be kind of annoying and bumpy when we get started. However, attendance tracking provides us with so much important information that ultimately it will improve the overall experience for everyone.
Starting March 1st, all students* will be required to pre-register and check in for class. Here are just a few of the reasons why:
- Interacting with the class schedule on a regular basis will allow you to better stay on top of any class changes or cancellations ahead of time
- Pre-registration allows us to contact all registered attendees for a class in real time if there are any emergencies or changes for that day
- Attendance metrics allow us to chart a class’ growth (or lack thereof) over time, and make improvements to our schedule
- Attendance metrics allow us an additional lens to view student progress and provide better feedback on moving into and through our curriculum
- Less likely for students to fall through the cracks due to low attendance or absenteeism
- And etc etc etc
- *Please note that all youth students are not required to pre-register, as they will automatically be pre-registered for every class in their program.
Please take a moment to download the MyStudio App and get started (it’s super easy!);

It is important that you begin interacting with the registration process as this will allow us time and opportunity to smooth out any issues you may experience ahead of March 1st.

Hit me back with any questions or issues! I promise we won’t sell your attendance data to the CIA, FBI, ABC, or ABBA (yes, the band, not the government agency if it exists, or not, or who knows) 🙂
