Flour Bluff Junior High 2015-2016

The last aspect of LOTC is to provide a stepping stone for our cadets to the next phase of
leadership skill development and application, the nationally acclaimed Flour Bluff NJROTC
program. Cadets have the opportunity to join a myriad of competitive teams ranging from drill
teams, air rifle shooting teams, academic teams, and athletic competition teams. There, they will
be able to apply what they have learned in LOTC while on the teams and in the classroom. The
cadets will have a chance be become part of a program that has a long history of competitive and
academic success not only at the State level but at the National level as well.
Read Right®
Read Right (Reading Improvement) is a unique approach to teaching reading that enables
students with reading problems to significantly improve their reading skills. This course takes the
place of an elective.
Career Planning
During the 7 th grade year, students will be expected to develop a five year plan and will explore
post-secondary training, i.e. community college, technical school, or college/university
coursework. These plans are completed through the Exploring Careers classes.
The counselors will also be working with the 8 th graders as they identity their values, strengths
and abilities using the online ACT profile website. These inventories will assist them in
determining what career options are best for them so that they may be better prepared to
complete their field endorsements for graduation according to House Bill 5. This information
will help students plan for academic and career success.
