Falcon Battalion LET 1/2

Welcome Back, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! Parents we have 3 1/2  more weeks until the end of the semester. Before the break I gave ALL students another copy of their grades in order to give them the opportunity to do make-up assignments if necessary (with maximum grade of 70%). All make-up work is due tomorrow at the beginning of class. This is also the last week students will wear the uniform, we have added 2 additional days (Tuesday and Wednesday) to make-up missed uniform inspections. Please encourage your students to do any make-ups this week. With that being said, we will start uniform turn-in next week, December 4. Students will turn in ALL ITEMS EXCEPT for SHOES and SOCKS. Students have the option of either getting shirt, pants and jacket dry cleaned at their expense or pay $4 and we will get it done for them. This weeks schedule is as follows: Monday  - Drill ...
