DAY STUDENT REMINDERS:

NEW! INTRODUCING STUDENT DEVELOPMENT OFFICERS (SDOs)

We are excited to introduce a new enhancement for the 2026–2027 academic year: Student Development Officers (SDOs) within each company. SDOs are dedicated members of our professional staff who will serve as mentors and leaders, focused on knowing, guiding, and advocating for every cadet under their care. Through this model, your son will receive consistent, individualized support across all areas of his development. These staff members will build meaningful relationships with cadets, closely monitor their progress, and ensure that any needed support, whether academic instruction, discipline, or counseling, is delivered in a timely and effective manner. In addition, each cadet’s SDO will serve as the family’s primary point of contact, providing a clear and direct line of communication with someone who understands your son’s journey and can speak to his growth and progress.

REMINDER: RE-ENROLLMENT REMINDER FOR 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR

Did you miss the re-enrollment deadline? There is still time to secure your son’s place for the 2026–2027 school year.

We encourage families to complete the re-enrollment process as soon as possible. Please notify our Admissions Office of your intent to return so we can assist you with next steps and ensure a smooth transition into the new school year.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to admissions@fuma.org.

UNAUTHORIZED DELIVERY SERVICES ON CAMPUS

To help maintain the safety, security, and structure of campus life, we want to remind families that independent delivery services are not permitted to deliver directly to cadets on campus. This includes services such as Instacart, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and similar vendors. We have recently seen an increase in unauthorized delivery attempts, and unscheduled drop-offs create safety and logistical concerns that cannot be accommodated.

Approved Process: All outside deliveries must follow Academy procedures and be coordinated through the Quartermaster.

Shipping Guidance: If your cadet needs items, please send them through approved commercial carriers such as UPS or FedEx, which are able to deliver securely and efficiently. We appreciate your partnership and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe, orderly, and distraction-free environment for all cadets.

We are pleased to recommend Kristin Firewicz Studios to our cadet families for senior and cadet portraits. Kristin is a professional photographer contracted by the Academy to capture campus photos throughout the year and has been specializing in high school senior photography for over 10 years.
