Dear Parents/Guardians,
Happy Sunday Patriots! Our cadets had a fun Red Ribbon and Spirit Week. We also had fun rewarding all the cadets who had no D’s and F’s, no referrals, and attend school regularly for the first quarter, with a BBQ and a Dance at the end of the day on Friday. We will do this again at the end of the second quarter.
It is officially jacket weather. Cadets are authorized to wear their school uniform jacket to school and in classrooms. We do ask that cadets not wear them when transitioning from class to class. There is no AC/Heat in the halls, and we need to be able to see cadet ID’s and uniform compliance. They may wear them in classrooms, but they are not allowed to put their phones in their jackets during the school day.
