NJROTC Classroom Guidelines and Requirements

The class schedule is listed below for your information:

Uniform/Inspection Day:  All cadets are expected to come to school in uniform and remain in uniform the entire school day.  Cadets may receive permission from their instructor to change out of uniform if they have a class where the wearing of a uniform would not be appropriate.

- The uniform must be clean, pressed and neat.

- The uniform must not be altered or cut in anyway.  Trousers may be tailored without cutting.  Hemming of trousers is provided at no charge.

- We recommend sending the uniform to the dry cleaners when dirty.  The uniform trousers and jackets must be dry-cleaned.

- The cadets will be taught how to shine their shoes and maintain their uniforms.

- Not coming to school in uniform on uniform day will result in a 50% for a major grade. The instructor may allow a make-up grade on the next day.

- If a parent has an unusual/unexpected emergency and is unable to get their child's uniform out of the cleaners the parent must personally contact or leave a message for the appropriate Military Instructor via voice mail or e-mail to verify the problem.  It is your child's responsibility to plan ahead and ensure their uniform is ready for inspection.  Please do not relieve them of their responsibility.  All uniforms are issued at no cost to the student. 

- If a student loses an item they must pay for the item prior to being issued a replacement.  All uniform items must be returned at the end of the year.

Drill Day:  Drill Day will be conducted each Thursday. Cadets must wear clothes suitable for marching.

PT Day:  Physical Training will be conducted every Friday and a participation grade will be given.  The training will be progressive, challenging and varied.

-    Students with health limitations should have those health problems listed on the Health Physical Forms which are filled out at the beginning of the school year. 

-    All students will be expected to dress out for physical training and participate up to their capabilities. Students who are unable to participate for whatever reason are still required to dress out.  Failure to dress out will result in a grade of 0.
