Please note that testing is always the first Saturday of February, April, June, August and October. Students must earn a blue tip on their belt to be eligible for testing; once your student receives this tip, they must bring home a testing form for you to fill out. This form should be filled out and turned in the Thursday before test day. *** In DECEMBER, we host the Annual Banquet; students tip test two weeks prior to the banquet and test IN CLASS the week of the banquet. Board breaking is performed at the banquet.
