Welcome to the 2020-2021 new school year. 1stSgt Cox and I are excited to get started this year with the new tools we have from Cobb County. I know technology is not always as easy as intended, but I believe that once we get going, CTLS will be a big benefit for all of us. Attached is a quick guide for your cadets to help them access CTLS and figure their way around that may be a little easier to follow, although it may be very easy for them. I remember when I was the only one in the house that could program the VCR clock…
As we get started your cadet will find assignments already loaded for the first week of school. These assignments are the paperwork we need each school year to include our behavior contract, syllabus, standard release form and health risk screening questionnaire. In addition to this, each cadet must have an up to date sports physical on the Cobb County School District sports physical form: CCSD Sports Physical Form. The form is also attached here. We only need pages 3-7 turned in, and 7 only if your cadet meets that criteria. The Navy, school district, along with myself and 1stSgt Cox want to make sure your cadet does not have any health issues that would be exacerbated by our physical fitness training which culminates in a fitness test near the end of each semester. The physical is also required if your cadet wants to participate in one of our competitive teams. Please get the physical completed by September 15 and have your cadet load it into their Lesson Uploads folder in CTLS.
At the moment, we are not allowed to gather and have practices for our competition teams, which are the drill team, orienteering team, academic team and rifle team (.177 cal air rifle). Once restrictions associated with COVID are relaxed and we can participate, we will make an announcement on tryouts, practice schedules and competition dates. We know this is a big part of the program for our cadets and we are all looking forward to getting back at it, safely.
Each year the unit has an inspection. Every other school year the Area 12 manager conducts the inspection and this is our year for the manager to conduct the inspection. Our inspection date is January 27, 2021. If we can hold this inspection in person, called an Area Manager’s Inspection or AMI for short, we will ask for assistance to put this together.
Lastly, we have a booster club to assist 1stSgt and myself throughout the year called the Cadet Parent Organization. This year’s president is Molly Raynor and she can be reached at lpk.njrotc.president@gmail.com. The CPO will communicate with you all about the organization and the support provided along with some open positions we need volunteers for. Please consider volunteering some time and energy to help make the program be the best it can be.
I know that is a lot of information I am throwing at you, but since we cannot have our annual return to school picnic this year, I have to do it “virtually”. I hope you are all as excited to start the school year as we are. “See” you all soon.
Warm Regards.
