7. NJROTC Mandatory Events: Mandatory events make up 10% of the overall NJROTC grade. If your cadet cannot attend any mandatory event, then we (instructors) need a note from parents/guardians informing us that your son or daughter cannot participate in that particular event PRIOR to the date of the event. We do not accept emails or phone calls from parents/guardians, just a hand written note will suffice. Thank you for your future support in this endeavor.
