Myself and the other teacher scheduled a meeting with our parents at the end of the school year last year to talk about what the team plans and expectations for the summer/fall would be leading up to build season.

The result of that meeting was we met once a month in the summer on a the third Saturday of the month all day to work on basic skills.

We took September off due to the first month of school and then have gone back to an every other week Saturday meeting since October. One of those weeks ended up being an offseason event, another was Thanksgiving so we skipped it, but making the schedule so far in advance made planning easier for everybody involved.

It looks like we managed to balance the time needed to train/refresh skills but at the same time not overburdening schedules so the students are going to really feel a crunch of school work during build season.
