New Cadets

Congratulations and welcome to the extended West Point Family. The network of parents clubs are here to help you and your cadet make the transition from civilian life to the West Point regimen.

Check List for New Cadet Parents

  • Join the West Point Parents' Club of Massachusetts. 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 Acceptance Day, August 15, 2009.
  • Make hotel reservations for Plebe Parent Weekend, March 12-14, 2010.
  • Write a letter or card to your new cadet and mail at West Point on R-Day.
  • Purchase Class of 2013 T-shirt and/or bag at visitor's center on R-Day.

 

All members will automatically be added to our Club's list server, (wppc-mass@west-point.org) but you need to sign up for parent-forum, plebe-net, and wpp-net, individually.

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. Click here for further ticket information. 

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