UNIFORM DAY/ WEAR:  Cadets will be issued an Air Force uniform free of charge. If a cadet does not have the appropriate size in inventory, uniforms will be ordered in October with an expected late November or early December delivery.  Once cadets get uniforms properly tailored to fit they will have to wear the uniform on Wednesdays for the entire day. Uniform wear on the 1st Wednesday of the month will be an alternative assessment that counts towards a student’s grade. Failure to wear the uniform for the entire day will result in a 10-point deduction for each period out of uniform.  All cadets must change back into their uniform after gym.  The only exception to this rule is last period gym.

WELLNESS DAY:  This will occur on alternate Fridays and all classes that meet that day will participate in Wellness.  This is a homework grade and information is provided in your cadet guide.
