Study Hall Policy

1. Students must check in with the study hall monitor, who will take attendance.

2. What can students do during study hall?

-study

-students may go to the Church for prayer time.

-chat or play games with other students, not so loudly that they disturb others

-Students must remain with/in-view-of the monitor. Changing the location of study hall to another room or outside is up to the discretion of the monitor.

3. We do not allow media use (electronic devices) among students who are socializing. Please promote student relationships without the electronic element.

4. Internet use in study hall:

To support our students in all their studies, students may use the internet in study hall for school work only. Students need to provide their own internet signal, as the internet access at school is not reliable enough for this purpose. The study hall monitor must be clearly informed of what the student will be doing, i.e. “I am going to work on my English paper,” “I am going to do biology flashcards on my phone,” etc. The screen must be easily visible to the monitor. Monitors may ask students to sit in such a way that they can see any screens in use at a glance. Laptops only, please; we cannot permit studying on phones because this is too difficult to monitor. This privilege will be revoked for the rest of the year for any student if misused even once. Depending on the nature of the offense, other disciplinary measures may also be taken.

5. The consequences for violations against study hall policies are the same as other infractions of the Student Code of Conduct. In this situation we might see

• • • 1. unauthorized leaving of school building or grounds during school hours

      2. unauthorized use of cell phones or electronic devices in school

For the ASSG Discipline Protocol, please refer to the Discipline Policy page.

6. Study hall will have a $30 fee per semester per class period that is paid along with tuition each semester. For example, if a student is in study hall during first and second period for the whole year, the total fee will be $120 for the year. This money will be used to pay the study hall monitors. Please see the Fees page for more details on this.
