In case you’re wondering…
Conferences with parents will take place according to the posted schedule. If you would like to schedule conferences prior to arriving to Fishburne, please contact Ms. Morgan to set appointment times beginning Monday, February 8th.
Although all scheduled activities take place on Saturday, parents and guests who plan to stay in Waynesboro Saturday night are invited to make reservations for our Sunday Brunch in the mess hall. This breakfast is optional for cadets and guests.
The Admissions Department will be filming parent testimonials throughout the day on Saturday – please contact Brock Selkow at 540/946-7703 if you would like to participate!
We ask your help, cooperation, and understanding of the following school regulations for Cadets during this time:
Cadets are REQUIRED to attend all Winter Weekend Review events listed in bold print on the schedule.
Cadets may NOT drive a car unless a parent is a passenger in that car.
Cadets may not ride in a car driven by anyone under the age of 21.
(Do not permit your cadet to drive if another cadet is a passenger).
We ask your cooperation in not allowing cadets to consume alcohol or illegal substances in any form. Consumption of alcohol by anyone on school grounds is against school policy.
The entire FMS campus has a NO SMOKING POLICY; this applies to visitors as well as guests.
Cadets will be allowed to leave campus with their own parents for lunch on Saturday and may also sign out with their parents during the day on Sunday
(all cadets must return to the barracks by 7 pm on Sunday).
Cadets will not be permitted overnight leave with their parents on Saturday night unless they will be returning home for the night (in other words, cadets are not permitted to stay in local hotels); cadets may leave with their parents following the dinner program but must return to campus by 11:30 pm (cadets not in the barracks by 11:30 pm will be considered AWOL unless they have officially gone on leave for the weekend).
Parents must sign their cadet out in the TAC Office when leaving campus.
Cadets must be in uniform while they are on campus.
