● to provide housing for said students in the event of suspension or expulsion from Boarding. In the event that a designated local guardian is unable to accommodate hosting their assigned Havergal Boarding student, the parent(s) must arrange alternative accommodation and transportation within 24-hours of being notified by the school. We strongly encourage you to identify the guardian of your choice, as it is preferable that you make this decision. If you do not identify a guardian, Havergal requires that you be prepared to attend the school within 24 hours after notification of a health or disciplinary issue concerning your child. In the event of a school closing, Havergal will temporarily assign your child to a host family. Once you have selected a Local Guardian for your child, you give standing permission to the Boarding Staff to allow your child to leave Havergal College Boarding overnight throughout the year to stay at the Local Guardian’s home address (i.e., the Boarding Staff does not need to obtain your permission each time your child goes to their guardian’s home). This includes during any school breaks and holidays when Boarding is closed and your child is staying with your Local Guardian. Some Boarders do not require a guardian because their parents live in close-enough proximity to the school. The Admissions Office will make clear what your guardian obligations are. The Guardian Agreement form​ is accessible for new Boarders on the New to Boarding Admissions website. Returning students will receive the form in the Summer Mailing sent out in August. Meal Sign-In Policy Students will be signed into meals by face to face check-ins with the Dons on Duty in the Dining Hall. Students must be at meals by their assigned, staggered meal times. If a student has missed a meal, the Dons on Duty are expected to follow up to ensure that the student is accounted for. Community Living Expectations When living in our Boarding School community, there are certain behaviours and attitudes that are constructive to the wellbeing and happiness of all Boarders and staff. Boarders are expected to respect and comply with the ​ Havergal Code of Conduct​ , as well as the policies created to address the issues of community life. The cooperation of each student and their family is vital to providing a supportive, functional, comfortable and healthy environment.

General Expectations Boarders are expected to: ● leave their rooms tidy when out of Boarding;
