Procedures

• Parents will be billed monthly ( the same fee structure as extended care) for the time spent at Study Hall.
• Students will be dismissed directly to Extended Care.

Expectations

• Study Hall is intended to provide students with a quiet place to complete their homework. Some assistance is available, however, it is not intended for consistent one-on-one tutoring.
• If a student becomes distracting to others, the behavior will be addressed. If the distraction continues, or if the student is disrespectful to the Study Hall monitor, he/she will be directed to the Middle School Director for the remainder of the period. Parents will be billed for the time spent in each of the locations.
• Study Hall ends at 4:30. Students will be dismissed directly to Extended Care.
