Study Periods / Spares A study period is a designated block of me in a student’s metable in which a class is not scheduled. Students commonly refer to study periods as spares. Grade 11 and 12 students with study periods will not be supervised as they are considered to be engaged in independent study. ● Boarding students may not sign out during a spare/study period. ● Grade 11 students may not sign out during a spare/study period. They must remain in the building and sign in at the DSO to indicate their loca on within the school during their designated spare(s). ● As the most senior students, Grade 12 students have the privilege of managing their me more independently. As such, Grade 12 students are not expected to sign in with the DSO during their designated study periods, but they are expected to be present for all school‐related events including Prayers, House/TA and grade mee ngs, regardless of scheduled spares. If Grade 12 students leave the building during their spare, they are expected to sign in and out at the DSO. Recess On most days, there is a 20 minute recess that occurs between the first and second periods in the school day. This me may be adjusted occasionally to accommodate special schedules and events. Lunch ● All students who eat lunch on campus are expected to eat in several designated areas of the school. Students are not permi ed to eat outside of these areas. ● Middle School students are not permi ed to leave the premises at lunch without expressed wri en permission from a parent. ● Students in Grades 9 to 12 may leave campus for lunch, but they must sign in and out at the DSO during lunch me. ● Parents must be aware that students who choose to leave campus are unsupervised and responsible for their own ac ons.

At their discre on, teachers may have students serve a deten on for minor or in‐class infrac ons privately with them or they may assign a formal deten on, which will be served on Fridays during lunch or on Tuesdays a er school.
