Overnights

If you would like to have a dorm student over to your house for an overnight during the weekends the dorm student will need to complete and submit an “Overnight Permission Form” by 6 p.m. on Friday. As the host, you will be contacted by a Dorm Parent before the overnight is approved. For weekday overnights please contact Bonnie or Jordan.

Meals are served in the cafeteria for dorm students at the following times:

Weekdays (Monday-Friday):

Responsibilities:

• Dorm students are expected to follow major school rules at all times (See the US Handbook and the Boarding Handbook for details).
  
• When you sign-out a dorm student you assume parental responsibility for that student. We ask that you be aware of the student’s whereabouts and supervise the student while at your house.
  
• Please communicate with the student you sign-out about your expectations of their financial responsibility. Unless previous arrangements have been made, we do not expect dorm students to be charged for their time with you.
