Check List for New Cadet Parents

** Join the West Point Parent Club of Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia. You will get lots of helpful tips for your WP Parent experience and as a bonus meet lots of great new friends!
** Make hotel reservations for R-Day
** Make hotel reservations for Acceptance Day
** Make hotel reservations for Plebe Parent Weekend
** Write a letter or card to your new cadet and mail at West Point on R-Day.
** Purchase Class T-shirt and/or bag at visitor's center on R-Day.

Plan to attend one of the plebe Parent Potlucks in Virginia or Maryland during July (dates TBA). The potlucks are a great time to meet other Plebe Parents and hear about the latest news from West Point.

All members will automatically be added to our Club's list server, (wppc-capdist@west-point.org) but you need to sign up for Plebe Net the West-Point.org listserv for the current Plebe Class. Prior to Plebe Net opening for incoming parents several weeks before R Day, please join Prospective Net for discussion about R Day and Beast.

Purchase Army-Navy Football tickets (if planning to go!). Your Cadet will be allocated four tickets, and you may purchase them in person at the "A" Club desk in Eisenhower Hall on R-Day. Otherwise, to purchase tickets on your own, you must join The "A" Club. Only parents of Cadets can join, so you will have to wait until R-day to do so. Ask to purchase tickets in Block #1324, WPPC of MD-DC-VA. Each member of the A-Club can purchase 4 priority seating and 4 additional seats. Further ticket information can be found at goarmysports.com.

You may also call the Army Ticket office at 845-446-4996 Monday through Friday (toll free 877-TTX-ARMY).
