Dear Parents,
Christmas Break is just around the corner! As with every Major Leave, we aim to ensure a smooth and efficient process for your cadet's departure. Christmas Break begins on Friday, December 20, at 12:30 PM, and ends on Sunday, January 5, at 7:00 PM. Please note that all cadets must depart campus during this time.
Cadets cannot leave before 12:30 PM on Friday, December 20, unless approved by the Commandant's Department and the Academic Department. All boarding cadets must return to campus between the times of 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
To assist with planning, please follow these important steps and deadlines:
All families are required to submit a Leave Request for Major Leaves, including Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Break, Spring Break, and End-of-Year Departure. This request ensures proper planning for your cadet’s transportation and departure from campus.
The deadline to submit the Leave Request for Christmas Break is Friday, December 6. Please submit your request before this date to avoid any complications.
If your family requires transportation assistance from Fork Union Military Academy, we offer the following options:
