Welcome to Patriot NJROTC 2016-2017 School Year
August 16, 2016 / News
Please join us at Back-To-School night, Wednesday, August 17th from 5:00 – 7:00.
Though intended for incoming and returning T.J. students, the NJROTC program uses this event to welcome ALL cadets from both in and outside of Governor Thomas Johnson. If you will be joining us from another Frederick County school, we encourage you to join us for a parent information presentation and student information session with returning cadets. This event is also (especially) suitable for those not attending our program until the Spring.
The NJROTC presentation will take place in the T.J. main auditorium at 1800. All students will be escorted to our classrooms after a welcome introduction, while the parents remain for a 30 minute presentation. Immediately following, we will join the students and answer any questions you may have. In addition to the presentation, our NJROTC Boosters will be selling unit clothing and meeting new parents.
We look forward to seeing everyone!
My son, Taylor Monk, is new to the JROTC program this year. I have left my email. My son’s father’s name is Rex Monk and his email is [email protected]. My son is on the Walkersville high school soccer team. Do you have any recommendations as to how to manage the after school activities?
Hello Ellen,
While the teams and after school activities are a challenge for non-T.J. cadets, with transportation, everything is possible. As you may have noticed from our calendar, our first team meetings and practices will begin the second week of school. They will receive competition schedules and a handbook explaining team expectations. The soccer peace will be a challenge. As will any high school activity from football to band and drama, each has an expectation from participants as do we. If the practice times don’t conflict, it can work. If they do, it will eventually come down to choosing one or the other. Only Taylor can make that decision. I welcome the opportunity to share the benefits of each of our teams, but put no pressure on anyone to participate. Does Taylor have a specific NJROTC team he is interested in?
Thank you for contacting me, and don’t hesitate to call or e-mail anytime.
