WPAOG Parent Handbook 2018-19

6 Our philosophy on parent communication is simply that parents should have the correct information in order to support their sons and daughters while they attendWest Point. Please keep in mind that it is a college experience, and your cadet will need to navigatemuch of it on his or her own. And, we encourage open communication between parents and cadets! That said, it is the role of the Parent Communications Liaison to help answer questions or redirect parents if/when the need arises. West Point Parents Clubs also facilitate communication between the Academy and cadet parents, promoting the image of West Point, assisting the Academy with its recruitment efforts, and providing camaraderie to parents of cadets. This office is responsible for assisting parents and the Parents Clubs that have formed all over the country. West Point Parents Clubs offer an opportunity for mutual support, fellowship, and access to useful information about the Academy and cadet life. At present, there are more than 75 clubs throughout the United States. In addition to sharing with the Parents Clubs, information for parents can be found on the West Point website and via social media.
