Regarding what may be brought from home for cadet rooms, please click here for the list of recommended and approved items.

Please note that cadets may not bring additional items that are not listed in this supplement. Please do not send your cadet with the following:

• Personal clothing
• Foam mattresses
• Furniture
• Electronics or miscellaneous appliances
  • Table lamps, string lights, etc.
  • Small refrigerators
  • Fans
  • Heating/cooking appliances
  • Personal computer

Unauthorized items brought from home will be shipped home at the guardian’s expense.

The birthday party plans outlined below allow us to recognize and celebrate birthdays, as well as give parents a chance to support their sons.

Celebration with the corps

Each month, cadets who have their birthday that month will be recognized during a special celebration with the corps. This birthday celebration will be in the dining hall with the entire corps of cadets. Ice cream provided by Sage Dining will be served to all cadets, and the corps will sing "Happy Birthday."

Private party for those cadets celebrating birthdays in a given month

In addition, a private pizza party will be held for those cadets who have a birthday during the given month. The Parents Committee will discuss with the parents of those cadets whose birthdays occur in that month to coordinate the purchase of pizza, soda, etc. for the party. Payments will also be organized via the Parents Committee. Only cadets who have birthdays within that month will attend. 

How you can celebrate your cadet on his actual birthday

On your cadet's ACTUAL birthdate, you may send your cadet a singular pizza, small cake, etc. This is not a full party, but rather your special birthday recognition for your cadet. Parents should make their own arrangements for delivery.

No more than $50 cash weekly. We recommend using a reloadable gift card or debit card for spending. Cadets can use these forms of payment in the Quartermaster Store and Canteen. The business office will not issue cash or cash checks for cadets. Cadets are not authorized to have more than $50 cash in their possession at any time.

Open weekends are family weekends, meaning you are welcome to check your cadet out for the weekend. Open weekends are usually four-day weekends, and they are published on the school calendar. 

Please note: Event weekends (such as Homecoming, Fall Family Weekend, Valentine Weekend, Mother's Day Weekend, Spring Family Weekend, etc.) are not open weekends. The cadet check-out schedule will be posted online with the event schedule.
