JROTC CLASSROOM RULES

1.  Cadets will report to the classroom each day of class.  They will be inside the classroom at the sound of the tardy bell.  Cadets tardy to class will be sent to a member of the Administrative Team for a readmit slip to class.

2.  Doorways are for entering and leaving a room.  Cadets will not stand in or block doorways.

3.  Each JROTC classroom instruction period will begin with the class attendance being taken by the first sergeant or senior non-commissioned officer

4.  Chewing gum, eating, talking, whispering or horseplay is not acceptable conduct and will not be tolerated in the JROTC areas.

5.  No open drink containers will be brought into the JROTC classroom or office, before, during, or after the school day.

6.  Classroom instruction will be conducted with all students at ease.  Cadets will not slouch in their seats, put their feet on other desks, or be inattentive to instruction.  Cadets are expected to sit erect with both feet under their desk.

7.   During classroom instruction cadets will raise their hands in order to ask or answer a question.

8.  In the military service, the expression of courtesy is more formal than in civilian life.  The most important expression of courtesy is the hand salute.   The salute is the military way of saying "Hello".  It is also customary to exchange greetings such as, "Good Morning, Sir (or Ma'am)", or "Good Afternoon, Sir (or Ma'am)".  In JROTC classes, drill and other JROTC activities, cadet officers will be addressed as "Sir" or "Ma'am", and be accorded salutes and courtesies by their juniors.  Cadet NCOs will be addressed by their rank, and all other will be addressed as "Cadet/Mister/Miss".  Military courtesies are required at all times when cadets are present in JROTC areas (classrooms, formations, drill field, and all JROTC events).  These same courtesies, as well as the exchange of salutes, will be observed in all areas of the school on days when the cadet uniform is worn.
