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.  Deten ons  Deten ons are given  for  infrac ons of  the  school  rules. 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.
