While we want cadets participating on our teams and going on trips, it won't matter if you end up failing your class(es) when it's all said and done. Cadets, please take care of business in the classroom first, seek out tutorials and/or extra credit, and if it means saying "no" to a team or activity, then that is fine with us. Parents and guardians, we highly encourage you to check PowerSchool for status on your cadet's grades and absences. This will help ensure your cadet is doing what they need to be doing, not just in JROTC, but their other classes as well. Academics is Job #1 and one of the best abilities is "eligibility".
Cadets are responsible for the information contained in the Weekly Newsletter and the Weekly Announcements; this information is provided to help cadets be successful in the JROTC -- parents and guardians also need to ensure their cadet is staying up-to-date. If there is anything we as instructors can do better in order to help cadets be successful, then please let us know.
Cadets are responsible for making up any missed uniform wears as soon as possible. For the Fourth Nine Week Grading Cycle, you must make up any missed uniform wears no later than Friday, May 15th, otherwise the uniform wear grade will remain a zero.
It is important that cadets are following established cadet uniform wear and grooming standards on uniform wear days as you are wearing the uniform of the world's greatest Air Force and representing something bigger than yourselves. This includes male haircuts / shaves, female hair / nails / jewelry, and wearing the uniform properly and proudly. Parents & guardians, please ensure your cadets are doing what they need to do by getting their hair / nails / jewelry in standards each week; if you are unsure what the cadet uniform standards are, then please reference pages 27-52 of the Cadet Guide found on our website.
Cadets who are absent from PT (and not on a trip list) are responsible for bringing a note from a parent/guardian or doctor, otherwise the wellness/fitness grade will remain a zero.
In JROTC, communication is crucial in everything we do. Therefore, cadets need to be checking their school email on a weekly basis, as well as staying on top of any Remind and/or team group chat as we frequently provide information on practices and other events.
