Currently we are tracking a weather system that may bring inclement weather on Tuesday, 16 January. Day Student Cadets need to be prepared to make arrangements to stay in the barracks the evening of Monday, 15 January.
As a reminder, here is our Inclement Weather Policy as stated in Enclosure 7 of the Cadet's Blue Book and as found in the FAQ found on our website at this URL: https://www.forkunion.com/parents/faqs/
In the event of inclement weather, all day students are expected to attend class and should make arrangements with their respective TAC Officer to stay overnight if hazardous traveling conditions exist or are expected.
To be clear, day students at Fork Union Military Academy are NOT subject to the Fluvanna County school system's "snow day" delays or cancellations. They must be in class as expected.
If the forecast is predicting possible hazardous traveling conditions that would impact travel to FUMA, day students should make arrangements to stay on campus. For example, if the forecast is for severe weather for Monday travel, cadets should plan to report to campus on Sunday.
Staying on Campus
If a day student decides to stay on campus, they must stay in the barracks. Day student cadets each have an assigned room—bed sheets and a pillowcase will be supplied. During their stay, all meals will be provided in the dining hall.
Day students staying on campus are expected to adhere to all rules and regulations in the barracks (i.e., CQ or study hall, no cell phones, lights out, etc.).
Pack a Bag
It is recommended that day student cadets who drive to campus keep a packed bag in their vehicle in the event of winter weather. Day students should have the following recommended supplies for an overnight stay in the barracks:
