glasses/contacts

The list for R-Day says to bring one month supply of contacts and current prescription (and two pair of glasses). Does this mean that after they run out their prescription will be filled at the academy or will more contacts need to be sent from home?

The list for R-Day says to bring one month's supply of contacts? That's not very many, about one set.

Bring a full refill box of contacts per eye, 12 oz.bottle of solution and an extra lens holding container. The academy doesn't fill any contact prescriptions, but will provide a pair of ugly birth control glasses if really needed. Your family will have to keep you supplied with contacts throughout your time there.
