Secret Valentine’s

Ms. Stevens has assigned her classes a secret valentine. All her classes have been assigned two or three fellow students that must do a secret valentine’s service before February 14th. Below are the rules that each Cadet must follow.

The rules are:

• It must be anonymous! Assignments should not be discussed or disclosed with fellow classmates. The person the Cadet has been assigned must NOT find out their identity.

• They may not trade their assignment with anyone.

• This assignment is not supposed to cost them any money.

• Their acts of service should be meaningful and worthwhile.

Ask your Cadet what acts of service they performed or what they received from a fellow Cadet.

Ms. Steven’s 9th graders are reading The Narrative and Life of Frederick Douglass in addition to working on their personal narrative writing assignment.

The Seniors are reading The Count of Monte Cristo. The senior project rough draft has been submitted and they are currently working on edits and revisions. The senior presentations will take place in late March.

The Parent/Teacher Meet & Greet will take place following the McArthur Parade until 3:30 PM on 17 February 2023.

Parents of Day Students:

Please be mindful of our “Day Student” rules and requirements.

• All Day Students must report for class no later than 0730 each school day.

• All Day Students are required to stay on campus until 1800 (6:00 PM) unless other arrangements have been made directly with the commandant. Walking off campus to meet a parent or guardian at the end of the day is not permitted and will be considered as AWOL (absent without leave). We want each day student-cadet to experience as much of the Oak Ridge Experience as possible.

• Reporting late to school or leaving early without authorization will result in demerits with can translate into marching tours.

• Event weekends will require our Day Students to be present with the option of leaving at the conclusion of said event by obtaining authorization from the Commandant.

Please help us by adhering to these rules and regulations as they are designed to establish structure, discipline, and accountability.

Thank you,

Dr. Steve Wilson

ORMA President

The Cadets will have the option of going home during all open weekends. If there is an activity on campus that your Cadets wants to take part in, there are no additional fees for these weekends.
