Boarding School Handbook 2025-26

Electrical Appliances Due to the limited number of outlets per room and the residence fire regulations, students must limit the number of small appliances they bring to school. Computers, radios, low wattage hair dryers, curling irons, fans and humidifiers are permitted in rooms. Gaming units, TVs, refrigerators, kettles, rice cookers or other small appliances are not permitted in rooms. Energy Stimulating Beverages Energy drinks (such as RedBull, Rockstar, Monster, etc.) are not permitted in Boarding, nor may these beverages be purchased and stored for consumption in Boarding. Students are encouraged to limit the consumption of other caffeinated beverages such as teas and coffee, to 100 milligrams per day. Food Allergies Staff, students, parents and volunteers should refrain from bringing peanuts and other food products containing nuts into the school. Havergal College is nut aware, which means that we can not guarantee the school premises are nut-free. Students who are highly allergic to specific food products and food groups need to alert the School Nurse before moving into Boarding. These students must carry an Epi-Pen with them at all times. 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 Smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited on campus at ALL times. Students found in possession of these items will follow Havergal’s Progressive Discipline Procedure outlined in 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.
