Boarding Handbook 2024-25

Lost Room Keys A fee of $60 will be billed to the student’s account for the first lost key and $75 will be billed to the student’s account for the second lost key. Loss of the third key will result in the lock being changed with costs charged to the student’s account. Student accounts will be billed at the end of each school year. Smoking/Vaping Please refer to the Havergal Code of Conduct. Travel/Vacations Reservations for air travel should be made well in advance of school vacations in order to fall within school holiday dates, which generally occur at peak times of travel and as airline travel is much more limited this year. Exam schedules will not be changed to accommodate travel arrangements. Havergal gives generous holiday time. Time for travel is included in the holiday periods. Parents should not allow students to be absent from classes before or after any holiday for more than three days. If a student’s parent(s) or guardian(s) plan to be away, Boarding Staff must be informed. A forwarding telephone number and address should be left with the Boarding Office or an alternative emergency contact must be provided. Valuables Boarding students are encouraged to leave valuables at home. Purses, wallets and personal belongings of value must be kept locked in bedroom closets at all times. The school will not accept responsibility for lost items if they are not stored in the Boarding Office. Visitors Day students and approved visitors are welcome to visit with students in the Boarding School. All visitors are required to sign in and out with Security in the Rotunda. Additionally, any visitor to the Boarding community must sign into the Visitor’s Book located in the Boarding School Office and with the Staff on Duty. All guests and visitors must be accompanied by their Boarding School student and visit in the approved spaces. Students may ask permission to host a guest at dinner. Students must submit their request to staff for approval at least 24 hrs in advance, when possible. Student accounts will be charged accordingly.
