Boarding Handbook 2024-25

Overnight Leaves All students are expected to be in Boarding Sunday to Thursday overnight. Students may request special overnight leave Sunday to Thursday with a parent or guardian. Overnight requests should be submitted through REACH for weekends, no later than Wednesday night prior to the weekend. Permission may also be given by phone to the Boarding School Office (ext. 6522) or to the staff by email (boarding@havergal.on.ca). Please be advised that Boarding Staff may decline an overnight request even if it has been approved by a parent. Please note that students are not permitted to stay overnight with anyone under the age of 21. Section 7: Rooms and Facilities

Student Rooms Rooms are checked by the Boarding Team on a daily basis for cleanliness. It is the student’s responsibility to maintain a clean and tidy room. Students are required to do a weekly deep clean of their room on Wednesday. Staff will check rooms Thursday mornings. If students are unable to meet the expectations of a clean room, they will be given until 6 pm

on Thursday to do the appropriate cleaning.

Students will not be able to sign out until their rooms are clean.

In order to maintain safety and security, students are required to keep their doors closed and locked when they are not in their rooms. When lights out, student doors should remain unlocked for their safety. It is the responsibility of students to always have their swipe card and room key on them at all times. Students should not lend their swipe cards or keys to other students for any purpose. The student's account will be charged $25 (per item) if their swipe card or key needs to be replaced. Students are also required to take care of the furnishings and fixtures in their rooms. Damage to rooms or room furnishings (including graffiti) will be repaired at their expense.
