Falcon Battalion LET 1/2

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 o...

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.
