R-Day date for class of 2023

[SAparent2023]

I have looked but cannot find the actual date the new plebes or new cadets need to be at West Point for R Day this summer? Any help is appreciated.

Look for the WP Class of 2023 Parents Group on Face Book. Join it, they will keep you up to date with all pertinent information as it develops.

Congrats and enjoy the ride.

Go Army!

Not official but looking at the calendar and based upon my experience, I would bet my bottom dollar it will be Monday July 1st.

I just called the Thayer Hotel and they confirmed July 1 or at least that is what they are using for booking rooms (and setting prices)! Haha.

In the BFE, the superintendent’s letter says it is July 1st.

So...R-Day. It is exhausting for you as parents. Depending on your drive or flight, you might wish to have two nights of hotel: Night before R-Day; Night of R-Day--because the Oath Ceremony often does wrap up until after 6 p.m.--or is that when it starts? You are up super early with your nervous child--and then you stand in line and then try to fill the time in a meaningful and enjoyable way until the Oath Ceremony. It is a long, long day. Also, if your kid is recruited for a sport, there will normally be a team BBQ and there is the AoG event for families on the day before R-Day (If your kid or you are worried about what to where--like "I don't want to be a nerd in a West Point t-shirt or polo shirt"--everyone is in a West Point t-shirt or polo shirt...on pre-R-Day. On R-Day--blank t-shirt or shirt polo style shirt.)

Amen ta that! Looong day. And then, when it ends, you'll wish it hadn't.
