Your link for clubscientific is not working. I want to sign up my daughter. How can I do it?
http://www.clubscientific.com is the website. I think they have had some issues lately with it being down. This is the only way they have given us to register students for their programs.
Where is Gentle Arts on the list. I do not see this offered?
Hi, The link to bricks4kids is not working. Is there an alternate link? Thx!
We are using a different vendor for Karate this year.
Bricks 4 Kidz link: http://www.trittfoundation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/B4K-ASP-Registration-Form-Tritt-2011.pdf
Marietta Martial Arts teaches an aggressive, offense-based form of Karate. Gentle Art was a defense-based form (more like Aikido or Tai Chi). The two are not equivalent, so please don’t say that the new Karate class is just “a different vendor”. It’s a completely different type of class.
Thanks so much for your hard work in lining up all of these vendors and coordinating the programs! Our kids are so fortunate to have all of these opportunities for additional learning after school. It is one of the reasons we chose Tritt!
Laura,
I apologize for offending you. I saw Gentle Arts Karate, and Karate and thought they were equivalent. I know the choices for FAST are based on levels of participation, availability of the teachers and space considerations in the school. I believe that the participation level for the Gentle Arts Karate was an issue, and it was replaced with something that might have a broader appeal.
Thank you for your work to put together these great opportunities at our school!
Club Scientific’s website does not have a place, that I saw, to register for the class. The link posted here is still not working. Any other suggestions for registering?
For a link to the enrollment page for Club Scientific, please click here.
I tried the link again for Club Scientific – every time I click on the link I get this message:
We’re sorry, but the page has expired. Please go back to the beginning and start again.
How/when do I find out if my child got into the Spanish class?
