to the dorm leader or other dorm faculty, the Dean’s office or (on weekends) to the staff duty person before going to a doctor. Students may go to any doctor of their parents’ choice for treatment. However, the school is not responsible for the treatment of those students who go to a doctor other than the school’s doctor. Students going to another doctor should make certain that the doctor has permission from the parents before beginning treatment. We ask that the doctor inform our nurse of treatment and condition of the student. Students who have prescription medicine issued to them M<strong>US</strong>T report this to the nurse and arrange a schedule with her to take the dosage. Evening Study Hall All boarding students will study each evening Sunday through Thursday from 7:30 until 9:50 p.m. The tower bell rings a “warning” at 7:20 p.m. and students are expected to be at their desks (either in their dorm rooms or in the evening study hall) beginning to work when the 7:30 p.m. bell rings. Assignments and supplies should be assembled before 7:30 p.m. For the convenience of the faculty on duty, room doors will remain open during study hours. Students who wish to study or confer with other students or faculty during study hours should do so only with permission of the faculty on duty. This permission will be granted during the period from 9:00 until 9:50 p.m. ONLY. The library will be open on Monday through Thursday evenings from 7:30 until 9:30 p.m. Students need a note from the person on duty in the dorm. Studying between 7:30 and 9:00 p.m. must be individual and should require the use of library resources. From 9:00 - 9:30 p.m. students studying for the same test or project may share resources quietly. <strong>Sem</strong>’s evening study hall is intended to be a quiet work session where students are on task. Whether in the dormitory or the Kirby Library, students are expected to remain engaged in academic pursuits and avoid behavior that will distract themselves or those around them. Students are not to be excused from evening study hall except by the nurse, the Dean of Upper School, the Director of Residential Life, a Class Dean or the dorm leader. If excused by the nurse, the student must report this to the dorm leader. Residential Life 40 Students who indicate by their behavior that they cannot handle the responsibility of studying in their rooms will be placed in supervised study and/or given some form of dorm discipline that will be discussed in detail in dorm meetings. Students must put personal cell phones on “vibrate” during evening study hall. Families may call dorm heads in the event of an emergency (see 73).
Special Events During Evening Study Hall In order to maintain an academic priority in view of the large number of evening sports events and other activities during the week, the following policy is in effect during the winter term. Students are advised to check calendars early in the week so that they may choose their events for that week. Students must sign out with the person on duty in their dormitories. • Boarding students on the Dean’s List may attend two evening school functions per week. Afternoon study hall attendance is not required. • Boarding students not on the Dean’s List and not on the D and F list may attend one evening school function per week. Afternoon study hall attendance is not required. • D and F list boarding students may not attend evening events. Evening Free Time The time between dinner and 7:20 p.m. is free time. The Wallis Room is open for coed visiting during this period. During the period from 9:50 until 10:30 p.m., freshmen and sophomores are permitted out of their dorms to go to the Levi Lounge and Coffee House only. Lounge areas within each dorm are open for use. An exception to this rule will occur on nights when the gym and pool are open. It is a junior/senior/postgraduate privilege to visit in the dorm lounge other than their own that is open on a designated night or to leave campus during the period 9:50 - 10:30 p.m. Boarding students may not ride in cars during this period. Dorm lounges are open after study hall on the evenings indicated: Swetland’s Wallis Room – The Wallis Room is open at certain times. A schedule will be posted at the beginning of the year. Carpenter’s Basement Lounge – open to Carpenter residents only Darte Lounge – open to Darte residents only The Levi Lounge - The Basement of Carpenter – a student-run snack bar is open many evenings after study, as announced at dinner. It is important that everyone adheres to the visitation schedule outlined here. While it may be fun to be with students from the other dorms, some of the people in your dorm may occasionally want a little more privacy. Check-in time in all dorms for all students will be promptly at 10:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday evenings. Residential Life 41
