6 PARENT COMMUNICATION Congratulations! Welcome to the West Point Family! Having a cadet is both a proud and unique experience. West Point cadets appreciate support from parents and family members. To help you support your cadet, information is made available via the West Point website, West Point social media platforms, and West Point Parents Club. Please keep in mind this is a college/military experience, and your cadet is responsible for navigating much of it on his or her own. We encourage open communication between parents and cadets. It is the role of the Parent Communications Liaison to help answer questions or redirect parents if/when the need arises. Please know cadets have access to a variety of support all around the academy. They are encouraged to reach out for help and use the many resources available. West Point Parents Clubs also facilitate communication between the Academy and cadet parents promoting West Point, assisting the Academy with its recruitment efforts, and providing camaraderie to parents of cadets. The Public Affairs Office and the Parent Communications Liaison assist parents and the Parents Clubs around the country. Please refer to the resources posted by the West Point Public Affairs Office and/or the Parent Communications Liaison for up to date information. As shared above, there are resources available on the West Point website, to include the Parent Handbook. This handbook is an excellent source of information. Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with this resource. We have worked to compile information from across the Academy to help you have a better understanding of West Point and cadet life. We encourage you to join your local Parents Club. To find a club nearby, please contact the West Point Parents Communications Liaison at 845.938.8826 or via email at deb.dalton@westpoint.edu. Again, congratulations! Go Army! Beat Navy!
