e granted study hall “relief” (a free bell during all assigned study hall periods) for the
remainder of that marking period. Students may continue to earn, or to lose, this privilege
during all subsequent grading periods throughout their Sem career.
Students will receive “relief” from study hall according to these criteria:
For students in grades PG, 12 and 11:
Attainment of a 2.0 GPA for the report period with no grades below C
For students in grades 10 and 9:
Attainment of a 3.0 GPA for the report period with no grades below C+
PLEASE NOTE: Study hall assignments are meant to reward students in grades 9 and 10
who have earned a 3.0 and help students in grades 11, 12, and PG who are having trouble
earning a 2.0, thus jeopardizing their college prospects. Additionally, students may be
assigned to study hall by their advisor or their Class Dean for reasons of poor academic
effort or on-campus behavior concerns, regardless of having met the above criteria.
Students assigned to study hall must report to the study hall proctor during that bell prior
to leaving for the library, nurse’s office or teacher conference. They may not leave campus
during this time without permission from the Upper School Dean or their Class Dean.
Students may use the library during a study hall ONLY with a library pass issued by one
of their classroom teachers. Students required to be in supervised evening study hall may
use the library for one hour per evening with a note from one of their classroom teachers.
When are grades reported?
Grades and/or comments will be available approximately 5 to 7 school days after the
dates listed below. If you have not received grades one week after the due date, please
contact the Academic Office.
PLEASE NOTE: Midterm grades are not official recorded grades in any course. They are
intended to give students an accurate assessment of progress and achievement at the
approximate mid-point of the term. End-of-term grades are likewise not official transcript
grades for year-length courses, although they are important in calculating the end of the
year final grade.
