Course Policies:
Basic Behavior Expectations: Be on time and in your seat when the bell rings, raise your hand to ask or answer questions, do your best in all course activities, no eating or drinking in classroom, and no sleeping in class.
Consequences: Verbal warning, parental contact, and administrative referral if needed.
Attendance: Regular attendance is required in order to learn the material, complete assignments, and participate in classroom activities. Therefore, consistent with school policy, you may not miss more than eight (8) classes during the semester. Instructors will help you with forms to make up a maximum of five (5) absences at the Hunt Learning Lab after school.
Tardiness: Students are EXPECTED to be to class on time. If a student is late we will follow the school policy. On the third tardy the student will be assigned an After School Detention.
Bathroom Breaks: Students are expected to use the bathroom during class changes; however, students are also allowed two classroom bathroom passes per month in AFJROTC.
Class Participation: Active participation is required. Students are expected to participate in classroom discussions, Wednesday uniform inspections, and Friday physical fitness training unless student is exempt for medical reasons.
Electronic Policy (i.e., cell phones and laptops): Cell phones are not to be used in AFJROTC during class time, if seen or heard they will be confiscated for the class period on the first offense and then turned into the office for subsequent offenses. Student laptops are only used when directed by an instructor, or after the student asks and receives permission for use by an instructor.
Missed tests or assignments: Missed items will be placed in the flight (class) box hanging on the wall in front of the instructor office window. The Cadet Class Leaders will assist the instructor by checking this box daily and help ensure missed information is made up at the next possible opportunity. Make up work is the ultimate responsibility of the student. Good options for making up work include before or after school in JROTC or in the Hunt Learning Lab after school. All missed work will be made up to complete the course.
Cheating: Cadets are expected to abide by the Cadet Honor Code, “I will not lie, cheat, or steal; nor tolerate those who do.” Cheating will result in a “0” grade for the assignment and exclusion from any cadet extracurricular activities (i.e., field trips).
Grading: AFJROTC follows the Hunt High School grading scale:
A: 93-100 B: 85-92 C: 77-84 D: 71-76 F: Below 69
Tests and uniform inspection scores will be weighted equally at 40% each. Proper wear of the AFJROTC uniform on Wednesdays is an important part of the JROTC program and, therefore, is heavily weighted regarding course grades. The other 20% of grades are related to class assignments and participation in classroom activities to include drill and physical fitness training.
All Hunt High School Policies will be adhered to and enforced
