Important Messages
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
As a boarding school, we do not have snow days, nor do we adhere to other local school bulletins regarding closures or delays in the event of inclement weather. Day student cadets are expected to attend classes on inclement weather days, however, no one should be put at risk in order to make it to campus if conditions are unsafe.
Day Student cadets are welcome to stay in the barracks either prior to weather or after inclement weather has started. The Academy will provide bed sheets, pillowcase, and any meals during the cadet's stay, at no additional cost. If a cadet is staying in the barracks, he should bring a blanket, pillow, any necessary toiletries, a towel, and all uniform pieces needed during his stay (which include t-shirt, shorts and sweat suit). Day students staying in the barracks are expected to follow the same rules and regulations as the boarding students.
Day Student cadets needing room accommodations are to see their TAC Officer for a room assignment.
ABSENT NOTICES POLICY
If your son is sick and cannot attend school, we ask that you send an email to absent@fuma.org as soon as possible in the morning. All that need to know about his absence will be notified (Dean, Faculty, Infirmary, Commandant).
If he is out for more than 3 days, he will need to return with a doctor's excuse.
DOCTOR/DENTAL APPOINTMENTS POLICY
Medical, dental, and orthodontic appointments should be scheduled after class time. Routine appointments should be scheduled on school days off (certain Mondays throughout year) or during major lealves.
Any medical leave must first be directed to the academy Head Nurse in the Infirmary (infirmary@fuma.org or 434-842-4314). The request is then forwarded to the Deputy Commandant for approval. Any missed class time must be approved by the Academic Dean.
Day student parents are responsible for transportation to any appointments.
DAY STUDENT DRIVERS
Day students that drive to campus, must park near the outdoor basketball courts. Drivers ARE NOT allowed to move or park their vehicle in another location unless approved by Commandant's Department. Day students are not allowed to park in front of or behind Estes Athletic Center at any time. This can cause driving privileges to campus to be revoked by the Commandant's Department.
PARENTS DROPPING OFF & PICKING UP CADETS
Just as a reminder, the road around the Jacobson Hall building is now one way. Please enter from the first corner of the building (at Charlie Company) and follow around to the end. For the safety of ALL cadets, we ask that you form one line and DO NOT attempt to pass stopped vehicles to the left as cadets are bringing dropped off. When picking up cadets, if you would like to park -- please pull off to the side of the road.
For more information, contact Amy Reese, Activities Coordinator (reesea@fuma.org or 434-842-4238)
