Assumptions and Critical Success Factors
! Recruits will be responsible for their own preparation each morning, and will
make sure they have all equipment needed for the academy day.
! Parents will make sure the recruit is dropped off and picked up on time each
day!!!
! Parents will take the time to open the lines of communication with the recruit
EACH evening.
! Parents will make sure the recruit is in charge of their own equipment.
! Parents of recruits will be available to assist with Classroom Assignments and
Graduation Superdome Trip.
! Parents will regularly check their email account, as updates will be issued on an
as needed basis.
! If you know your child will be late or absent you must send a written note the
day before explaining the same. If they are sick that morning, please Text
Officer Stewen at the provided number (cell 551.206.7378).
The note must be handed to the recruit’s leader, or a text made.
If you are interested in being a chaperone for our trip to Mountain
Creek Water Park, NYPD ESU or the Superdome, please send an email
to Academy@mahwahpd.org
Communication Requirements
Each night the recruit WILL educate the parent about everything they learned at the
Academy that day. They will explain in detail the lessons learned at the academy and all
pertinent information learned during the course of the day.
The next morning, the parent WILL be able to repeat that information to the Officer In
Charge as they drop off their recruit. This process is placed in effect to promote open
lines of communication between parents and their children for years to come. It also
fosters an environment where you children can relate specific and detailed information to
you about the things they have seen and done.
Parents MUST advise academy staff of any daily medical conditions (soreness, allergies, etc) so
we may closely monitor your recruit. Handwritten notes to Platoon Leaders will suffice.
If you need to take your child out of camp early (Music class, doctor appointment, etc), you must
sign them out in person that day. NO recruit will be allowed to leave unsupervised. They must
bring a note explaining that they will be taken out of camp early.
