Falcon Battalion LET 1/2

Happy Monday! Last week we had our first uniform inspection of the school year and I must say I was really impressed. We had some minor infractions but the cadets were able to make on the spot corrections.  At this point all the cadets know the standard and we should have less of those "minor infractions". Just as a reminder to parents and students, the uniform pants and jackets are to be dry cleaned as often as necessary (PLEASE DO NOT WASH AT HOME). Below is the schedule for this week: Monday - Drill and Ceremony Tuesday - Classroom Instruction (Rank and Structure) Wednesday - Classroom Instruction (Signs of Success) Thursday - Uniform Inspection Friday - Physical Fitness  ****The Falcon Battalion Drill Team competed at North Atlanta High School and walked away with 11 trophies, Hooah!!! This week they will compete at Osborne High School, please come out and support, February 10, 2018 0900****

Happy Monday parents and students, We are down to 2 1/2 more weeks until the end of the semester. This week cadets will be participating in the cadet challenge where they will do a series of exercises each day with the goal of improving our overall average by at least 30%. Good luck and I am requiring all cadets to give 110% on every event. Also, be reminded that we have changed the uniform inspection from Thursday to Tuesday. This is our final inspection for the semester and ALL uniforms will be turned in starting on Wednesday(unless you are on the Drill Team or participating in the Service Learning project on December 14). Items to be turned in: Shirt, Pants, tie/neck tab, jacket, nametag, awards and rank. When turning in the uniform, please remember to bring $4 for cleaning.

This Saturday the cadets will have the opportunity to participate in the annual Veterans Day parade at Marietta Square.

Happy Monday/Holloween!! I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. This starts week 13 of school and progress reports will go home on Friday.  I will give each student a print out of grades today so they can see where they are and what if any assignments need to be made up. This includes students that need to make-up uniform grades, Make-Up day is Tuesday.   Parents, I can not stress enough that participation and uniform wear is a major part of this program, the classwork is the icing on the cake. Please encourage your students to participate and wear the uniform weekly. If there is a situation where the uniform was not prepared for inspection on Thursday, the student has the opportunity to make that up on the following Tuesday or the zero will remain in the grade book. I want to thank all the parents and students who participated in the candle fundraiser, tomorrow will be the last day to turn in money. Those who did not participate this time, you will have another opportunit
