Additionally, late uniform make up realizes a 10 point deduction in grade. Failure to make up required uniform days results in a grade of 60 for the Term. Receipt of a grade of 60 for both terms in the semester results in a failing grade for the semester. Viewing Grades in ASPEN (optional)Points you receive for graded activities will be posted to the ASPEN Grade Book. Click on the My Grades link on the left navigation to view your points. NJROTC instructors will update the online grades each time a grading session has been complete—typically within 1 day following the completion of an activity. You will see a visual indication of new grades posted on your ASPEN home page under the link to this course.Letter Grade AssignmentLetter grade assignment will be in accordance with Cocke County School grading matrix below.

ParticipateEnrollment in the NJROTC Program is voluntary, therefore active participation is a course expectation. There is a NJROTC requirement to grade in Aptitude, which overall is 10% of a student’s grade. However, additional participation is required in wearing the NJROTC uniform weekly or as required by the Naval Science Instructor. Uniform grade is 20% of a student’s grade. Active participation is required in Drill and Ceremonies as this is a major aspect of the Unit’s grade by the NJROTC Area NINE Manager. Drill and Ceremonies is 20% of a student’s grade. An additional expectation is that cadets will participate in all six of NJROTC competitive teams. While there is no personal grade for such participation, team competition is a major aspect of the NJROTC Unit’s annual NJROTC Area NINE Manager award of Distinguished School with Honors. Cocke County NJROTC has been received Navy recognition for excellence since it 2003 Commissioning. Expectation is high in the Unit to receive such honor each year. Student (Cadet) participation is being constantly monitored by the NJROTC Instructors. Build RapportIf you find that you have any trouble keeping up with assignments or other aspects of the course, make sure you let your instructor know as early as possible. As you will find, building rapport and effective relationships are key to becoming an effective professional. Make sure that you are proactive in informing your instructor when difficulties arise during the semester so that they can help you find a plete AssignmentsAssignments must be submitted by the given deadline or special permission must be requested from instructor before the due date. Extensions will not be given beyond the next assignment except under extreme circumstances. All discussion assignments must be completed by the assignment due date and time. Late or missing discussion assignments will effect the student’s grade.Academic Dishonesty PolicyNJROTC operates under the same core values as the United States Navy and Marine Corps – Honor, Courage, and Commitment. NJROTC Cadets are expected to incorporate these and other standard leadership core values into their personal value system. NJROTC teaches the value of core values in all aspects of leadership. The following is taken from the Cocke County NJROTC Standards of Performance (SOP), which dictates several aspects of this policy. Section 2 – CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN & GRADING POLICY201. Cadet Code of Conduct. Expectations of NJROTC Cadets are much higher than of other CC/CHS students. As such, NJROTC Cadets shall hold themselves to the highest possible standards as set forth in the Code of Conduct section of the student handbook. These standards apply not only in NJROTC class, but also in all other classes cadets attend at CC/CHS. Teachers often refer NJROTC Cadets to their Naval Science Instructors before referring them to the school administration for resolution. Infractions of the student code of conduct will be dealt with in the following manner: (1) instructor/student counseling; (2) after school study hall in the NJROTC classroom; (3) parent notification and/or conference; and as a last resort, (4) administrative referral, which could result in assignment to ISS and/or OSS.202. Navy Core Values. The Navy Core Values are Honor, Courage and Commitment. This value system is foundational to good order and discipline in not only the U. S. Navy, but also to the NJROTC Program. Solid core values provide standards of conduct that provide guidelines for every aspect of a person’s life. Core values aid in decision-making, fulfilling personal responsibilities, promoting self-discipline and self-esteem, and building character assets of value to every citizen. Extensive classroom instruction will be provided to further explain Navy Core Values and their usefulness to NJROTC Cadets.203. CC/CHS NJROTC Cadet Honor Code: Cadets do not lie, cheat, steal, nor do they tolerate those who do. The Cadet Honor Code enhances and supports the Navy Core Values, and is basic to the American way of life. NJROTC Cadets are expected to adopt the Cadet Honor Code as a personal behavioral standard in their daily lives. Failure by the Cadet to abide by the Cadet Honor Code will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with appropriate disciplinary action taken by the Principal and the Naval Science Instructor (NSI). Infraction may result in the Cadet’s removal from NJROTC, temporarily and/or permanent. Cadets will sign an NJROTC Honor Code Card affirming their willingness to conform to the NJROTC and Cocke County/Cosby High School Honor Code standards. Cadets who do not sign an affirmation card are ineligible for competitive team sports, extracurricular activities and field trips.Your personal honor and integrity are about your character, and your character is one of the most important personal attributes and leadership trait. NJROTC expectation is that you will adopt it as your personal behaviors and as example for other cadets.204. Classroom Management.a. NJROTC classes will begin and end using the following military procedures:1. Beginning of class - Platoon Leader will command “PLATOON ATTENTION,” lead the class in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of our Country, and call them to “PARADE REST.” The Platoon Leader or person assigned will call the roll. Cadets will respond to roll in the following manner: Cadet will snap to attention, in a loud clear voice respond “HERE SIR,” or “MA’AM” and snap back to parade rest. After roll call is completed, the Platoon Leader will command the Platoon to Attention, followed by “CADETS, SEATS.” Cadets will drop to their seats and sit at attention until told to sit at ease.2. End of class - The Platoon Leader will call the class to attention and dismiss the class when directed by the Naval Science Instructors.b. At any time the Principal, Associate Principal or Vice Principals, Deans, Teachers, Parents/Guardians, or any other guest enters any of the NJROTC spaces, Cadets will announce “Attention on Deck.” All Cadets will immediately come to Attention and will remain standing until told to “Carry On” by the guest, Naval Science Instructors or Platoon Leader.c. The following are NOT permitted in any NJROTC space, during class at any time or on any NJROTC field trips/events of any kind: (1) illegal drugs/tobacco products; (2) talking without permission; (3) leaving seats without permission; (4) cheating; (5) damaging in any manner any school, NJROTC or classroom equipment/furniture; (6) radios, tape players, electronic games/devices, or beepers; (7) disrespectful conduct toward fellow Cadets, other students, faculty or staff of the school or any person in positions of authority, including NJROTC Officer Cadets; (8) males wearing earrings; (9) wearing of hats in any school classroom during class, or any other time when social customs and traditions prohibit wearing of headgear indoors; (10) foul language of any kind, including acceptable words used to infer words considered foul language; (11) wearing the NJROTC uniform in an inappropriate manner at any time or place; (12) PDA – Public Displays of Affection of any kind: hugging, kissing, holding hands, arm-in-arm, and/or any other kinds of affection; and (13) sexual harassment of either males or females.d. Cadets are expected to be READY TO LEARN. This means having the necessary tools of the job (paper, pencils/pens, & books), homework completed, and motivation to learn. 205. Behavioral Management.Student learning is maximized when there is positive control in the classroom by the NJROTC Instructor. To foster a sense of respect for the rights of others to learn, to hold Cadets accountable for their actions, and to create a value for proper individual and group demeanor, the NJROTC Instructor routinely uses various tools for effective classroom management. As shown in numerous studies, physical exercise improves not only physical strength and stamina, but also mental attentiveness, attitude toward self and others, and self-confidence. Furthermore, as a discipline tool, it reinforces within the Cadet a decision-making process that considers the consequences for their actions -- desirable and undesirable. In the NJROTC Program various types of individual and group physical exercises, such as drill, standing at attention, push-ups, jumping-jacks, etc., are used as tools for effective management in the classroom. 206. Absences/Tardies. In accordance with CC/CHS policy.207. NJROTC Grading Policy.NJROTC is more than just a typical elective class. Cadets are involved in a number of activities encompassing academics, participation in class and in extracurricular activities, attitude toward assigned activities, completing of homework and in-class assignment, ability to work cooperatively with other students in and outside of the classroom, acceptance and adherence to high standards of conduct and military bearing, wearing of the NJROTC uniform, weekly inspection grades, conduct at all times while enrolled in the program, and aptitude toward all aspects of NJROTC. NJROTC Cadets are evaluated in all aspects of their involvement in the program. Grading in the NJROTC program is determined using the following criteria:Academics/Homework 25 %Uniform Inspection/Drill25 %Drill & Ceremonies 20%Physical Fitness 20% Aptitude10 % Total100 %b. NJROTC Grading System. The Cocke County school year is divided into two semesters, two quarters per semester, with grade report issued at the end of each quarter and semester. The grading system, based on 100 points, is per the Cocke County High School grading criteria.c. Cadets are required to wear the NJROTC Uniform one-day a week, every week of the semester. For excused absences, Cadets must wear their NJROTC uniform the next day they return to school. Failure to wear the uniform each week will result in a grade of “F” in NJROTC for the semester. Delay in making up a uniform day will result in an automatic aptitude grade reduction of 25 points in the week the inspection was missed. Failing to wear the NJROTC Uniform as prescribed for two terms of the semester will result in the cadet being released from the NJROTC program. The intent is to wear the uniform on regularly scheduled uniform days.d. Aptitude is a weekly grade based on a cadet’s attitude, homework completion, uniform maintenance and wear, physical fitness participation and dressing out, and overall participation in the classroom environment. Failing to complete and turn-in homework when assigned, failing to make-up uniform days within two weeks of the missed day, disciplinary infractions in NJROTC or any other class/classroom at CC/CHS, and assignment to ISS or out-of-school suspensions will reflect in a degraded aptitude grade. Conversely, increases in Aptitude grades will result from going the “extra mile” or working beyond the minimum requirements. Examples include: Outstanding “Intel Reports,” school spirit, volunteer activities, and SNSI/NSI discretion. The below list contains the affect on a cadet’s aptitude grade for the above mentioned areas.Failure to turn-in homework-25 pointsFailure to make-up uniform days-25 points each weekRefusing to give Intel Report-25 pointsFailing to Dress for PT (DPT) Friday-25 points Disciplinary infractions (ISS/OSS/other)-25 points (depending on severity)Outstanding Intel Reports+50 or more points depending on thereport presentation.Volunteer Activities+50 pointsCommendations from other teachers/staff+50 pointsOutstanding Uniform Inspection+50 points208.

Cocke County High School Attendance Policy.a. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVERY CHILD ATTEND SCHOOL EVERY DAY. The Cocke County School System attendance goal is perfect attendance for every student. Also, it is the goal of the System that every student attending school in Cocke County graduate from high school. b. It is the responsibility of each student to insure that they attend school every day, that they make-up all missed work, and that they meet all requirements to pass in each of their classes. c. Students are permitted to miss five school days (excused absences) each semester. In addition, each student is allowed to miss five school days for school related field trips and activities. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH STUDENT TO ENSURE MISSED WORK IS COMPLETED AND THAT ALL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET FOR PASSING THE CLASS.d. Cocke County NJROTC supports to the maximum extent the CCHS attendance policy.1. Academic dishonesty includes such things as cheating, inventing false information or citations, plagiarism and helping someone else commit an act of academic dishonesty. It usually involves an attempt by a student to show possession of a level of knowledge or skill that he/she does not possess.2. Course instructors have the initial responsibility for detecting and dealing with academic dishonesty. Instructors who believe that an act of academic dishonesty has occurred are obligated to discuss the matter with the student(s) involved. Instructors should possess reasonable evidence of academic dishonesty. However, if circumstances prevent consultation with student(s), instructors may take whatever action (subject to student appeal) they deem appropriate.3. Instructors who are convinced by the evidence that a student is guilty of academic dishonesty shall assign an appropriate academic penalty. If the instructors believe that the academic dishonesty reflects on the student's academic performance or the academic integrity in a course, the student's grade should be adversely affected. Suggested guidelines for appropriate actions are: an oral reprimand in cases where there is reasonable doubt that the student knew his/her action constituted academic dishonesty; a failing grade on the particular paper, project or examination where the act of dishonesty was unpremeditated, or where there were significant mitigating circumstances; a failing grade in the course where the dishonesty was premeditated or planned. The instructors will file incident reports with the Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs and for Student Affairs or their designees. These reports shall include a description of the alleged incident of academic dishonesty, any relevant documentation, and any recommendations for action that he/she deems appropriate.Student Testing Code of Ethics and Security It is important for you as a student to know that the following guidelines are to be strictly followed. This year the TNReady EOC test will count at least 15% of your final semester grade. Your work on this test is very important and it deserves your best effort. I understand that during testing on the days of the assessment, I am responsible for:Not having any electronic devices on me or in my purse/backpack/pocketsIncluding but not limited to cell phones, smart phones, smart watches, etc. during testing or during breaks.Best practice is for students to leave devices at home or in their lockers on the day of testing.If I am caught with a device during testing or during breaks, my test may be nullified, resulting in a zero as at least 15% of my semester grade, and any school level disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by the administration.Trying my best on the testIf I do not attempt to test (I give no answers or randomly answer questions) my test score may be nullified, resulting in a zero as at least 15% of my semester grade, and any school level disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by the administration.The testing administrators and proctors in the testing environment will determine if no answers or random answering is taking place.I will focus and put forth effort on the test .Being honest and not cheatingIf I am caught cheating (taking pictures of the test, writing down and passing answers, talking to other students, looking on other computers, using software outside the testing platform), my test may be nullified, resulting in a zero as at least 15% of my semester grade, and any school level disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by the administration.Important Note: Any form of academic dishonesty, including cheating and plagiarism, may be reported to the office of student affairs.Course policies are subject to change. It is the student’s responsibility to check for corrections or updates to the syllabus. Any changes will be posted in the classroom. ................
