Happy Monday Parents and Students!!


Congratulations goes out to our Female Raider Team who walked away with (5) 3rd place trophies as they competed at the Osborne HS annual Raider meet!

We are back on our normal JROTC schedule this week after last weeks adjustments. Next week students will be will be graded on Rank, Drill and Ceremony, and the Cadet Creed. All things they SHOULD know at this point of the semester. Our promotion ceremony will be held the first week in November during uniform inspection. How well they do on these evaluations will determine their promotion status.

 

Parents, I can not stress enough that participation in uniform inspection, drill and ceremony and physical training 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 gradebook.



Monday - Drill & Ceremony



Tuesday - Class Instruction (Learning Styles (LET I), First Aid for Cold Injuries (LET II)


Wednesday - Classroom Instruction (Leadership Defined (LET I), The Preamble (LET II)


Thursday - Uniform Inspection


Friday - Physical Fitness


**Raiders will compete in their final regular season meet at Hiram HS, please come out and support**

**Please support our candle fundraiser, last day to place an order with one of our cadets is October 29, 2017**

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****
