Week 5: Welcome Back!

Happy Monday! Now that we are all settled in and into our 5th week of the first semester, I want to say WELCOME to all the new JROTC students and WELCOME BACK to my 2nd year cadets. We are definitely off to a good start! So far we have done introductions, identified leadership positions, learned the JROTC Cadet Creed and the Battalion Motto. We have also discussed expectations in the class and a few ice breakers to get to know each other. In addition, new students were introduced to drill and ceremony and physical fitness training.


ALL uniforms were issued and the students had their very first inspection on last Thursday. All students were given a class on how to properly wear the uniform in accordance with the cadet command regulation. Parents as a reminder, THE JROTC UNIFORM IS DRY CLEAN ONLY, THE ONLY THING THAT MAY BE WASHED IN THE WASHING MACHING IS THE SHIRT.


The schedule for this week is as follows:


Monday - Drill and Ceremony


Tuesday - National Guard Recruiter Presentation


Wednesday - Navy Recruiter Presentation (Early Release Day)


Thursday - Uniform Inspection


Friday - Physical Fitness/Cadet Challenge Events

Week 9, March 12-16 2018

Happy Monday I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend! This starts week 9 of the second semester, and 2 weeks before our major JROTC Program of Accreditation Inspection. This inspection happens every 3 years and we want to continue to get outstanding results in order to maintain our "Gold Star" for unit of distinction.  The past few weeks we have been preparing the cadets for this inspection because everyone will be involved at some capacity. This preparation involved the cadets studying questions that will be asked by inspectors; ensuring they know how to wear the uniform properly to include hair and nails; and perfecting their cadet portfolio's. Progress reports went home March 2, 2018. I have spoken individually with the students who are failing and informed them of what they need to do to pass my class. If your student is absent and miss an assignment, it is their responsibility to come to me and find out what they missed. If it was a uniform day, the make-up is

Week 5, February 5-9 2018

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****

Week 13 October 30 - November 3, 2017

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
