THE POST OFFICE The Post Office, located on the first floor of the Main Building, is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Mail arrives and is picked up daily except Sundays. Outgoing mail pickup is at 3:00 p.m. daily. Stamps are available in the School Store. STUDENT DEBIT CARD, SCHOOL BANK AND SCHOOL STORE Most student purchases on campus require a Student Debit Card and students are responsible for maintaining a sufficient balance on the card at all times. Students may deposit or withdraw money on their debit card accounts during Student Bank hours. The school imposes a $15 charge for the replacement of a lost debit card and a $20 fine for student checks returned for insufficient funds. School supplies, toilet articles, and athletic equipment are available in the School Store in the basement of CPT. Store and Banking Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday Wednesday, Saturday 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. STUDENT SERVICES TELEPHONES The school’s main switchboard phone number is 860-945-7777. The school switchboard is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Students or parents can reach the school duty officer until 11:00 p.m. at 860-945-7800. If the school Duty Officer is not available, the Health Center can be called in the event of an emergency at 860-945-7762. Phone service is provided in each dormitory room, although students must provide their own phones. Local service is provided free of charge, but students must pay for any long-distance calls. Students are not permitted to use their phone during study hall or after lights, even if it is mom or dad calling. They can leave a message. If it is that important, they will call back. There is a Messages Center at 860-945-7979 where messages can be left in individual student voice-mail boxes. Students who have phone service in their dorm room can be dialed directly. Students are permitted to keep cellular phones at the school. However, the use of cell phones is not permitted in public places. This includes, but is not limited to classrooms, school hallways, the walkways and outdoor areas around campus, dormitory common rooms, and the gym. Cell phone use is permitted in private spaces, such as a student’s room, but is contingent to the same rules and regulations governing land-line phone use. 62 The Taft School
