Return to Boarding Program Handbook 2020-21

Expectations for Daily Room Cleaning Before leaving Boarding each day, students are asked to: ● Make their beds; ● Clear the floor of all articles of clothing, shoes, books and paper; ● Clear/organize desk and dresser surfaces; ● Ensure all valuables are in their closet and the closet is locked; ● Turn off all lights, radios, cell phones and electronics; ● Open blinds; and ● Tidy bathroom surfaces and hang bath towels on hooks provided.

Students are responsible to ensure that rooms are kept tidy daily. At least twice per week, rooms will be cleaned thoroughly by the Housekeeping Staff. Rooms will be inspected weekly on Sunday afternoons at 3 pm by the Weekend Don. If student rooms are not clean and tidy by this time, students will be notified and will be expected to use their free time between 4 to 5 pm on Sundays to get their rooms ship-shape.
