RETURNING FAMILY RESOURCES

Army and Navy Academy has three primary high school sports for the fall season: Football (Varsity and Junior Varsity), Cross Country (Varsity and Junior Varsity), and Water Polo (Junior Varsity only). High school cadets wanting to participate in these sports must report to campus on August 2rd, 2023 for registration.

We know that you and your cadet value his summer vacation time, but we ask that you make every effort to report on this move-in day if your cadet is an athlete. Other schools frequently engage in whole-summer training camps for their student athletes, and this three-week period is the Academy’s sole chance to get our Football and Cross Country athletes conditioned after a summer off. Failure to report on this date may jeopardize your cadet’s spot on his athletic team.

Cadets will remain on campus for athletic training until the start of the school year. Please contact the Athletics Office at 760.547.5259 or email Nehemiah Brunson, the Director of Athletics, at nbrunson@armyandnavyacademy.org with questions or concerns.

Every Army and Navy Academy patron is automatically a member of the Patrons Association, commonly referred to as ANAPA. We encourage all parents to remain involved in their cadet’s life here at the Academy through the many events that ANAPA hosts throughout the year. The Association strives to provide key insights to the parent community and support the Cadets and the administration for various Academy funds and events.

All parents with a Facebook account are encouraged to join the ANAPA Facebook Group.

Local hotels offer discounted rates to Army and Navy Academy families. Check out the list of hotels that offer discounts to Army and Navy Academy families on our Where to Stay page.

On your designated move-in day, your cadet will receive an initial issue of uniform items and other essentials to get them settled for their first few days at the Academy. He will change into uniform PT (physical training) gear upon receiving his room assignment. Once your cadet has access to his room, civilian attire is no longer authorized for wear on campus. We recommend that parents take all civilian clothing home at that time. Your cadet will receive a second full uniform issue at a later date that includes all required clothing and books.

Please ensure that your cadet arrives with the following items:

Your cadet will receive an issue of bed sheets and a pillow upon arrival and these do not need to be packed.

Prohibited Items: electric blankets, weapons of any kind, skateboards, expensive jewelry, small kitchen appliances including hot pots, dietary supplements (protein powder, creatine, preworkout, etc.)

Army and Navy Academy does not carry insurance on the property of cadets and accepts no liability for lost, damaged, or stolen personal property.

Returning cadets were issued Chromebooks when they first arrived at the Academy. If your cadet has lost or irreparably damaged his Academy-issued Chromebook, he will be required to purchase a new one from the Cadet Store.

These Chromebooks have been pre-provisioned by the Information Technology department with a suite of monitoring and educational tools. Teachers will typically only allow Academy-issued Chromebooks for use in classes, and the Academy requires each cadet to own an issued Chromebook irrespective of whether they have any pre-existing digital devices.

In cases where a Chromebook incurs minor damage, the IT department may be able to repair or replace the device at no additional cost to parents. When a Chromebook has been deemed a total loss, either through destruction or loss, your cadet will be required to purchase a new Academy-issued Chromebook from the Cadet Store.
