Subject: Beginning of Year Packets

Greetings from the Palo Verde AFJROTC instructors! Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year. We have an exciting year planned for your cadet. So that your cadet can participate in all of our activities, there are a number of data sheets and signatures we need to get from you.  Please do this as soon as possible. Your cadet must turn in the signature and data sheets within one week of receiving this checklist. The time crunch is important because we must get all of this information before we can plan the many activities we have coming up. Thanks for your help and understanding. The following is a checklist to help you ensure your cadet has everything they need:
