COMMUNITY
BUILDING
DAY-BOARDING EXCHANGE If you are interested in experiencing the life of a day student, you may have one free overnight on any night of the week, provided you are not missing a school obligation (Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday community nights included) and you are in good academic and behavioral standing. You must obtain permission from the Director of Residential Life 48 hours prior to your overnight. The parent of the SMS boarder and the parent hosting the SMS boarder must confirm with the Director of Residential Life, as well. We offer one DayBoarder Exchange per student per semester. We request that you reciprocate by inviting your day student host to stay with you in the residence hall for a night. COMMUNITY NIGHT Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday evenings include community dinner, hall meetings, dorm activities, vespers. The residential community will participate in residential COMPASS programming on one Wednesday per month, following an informal dinner. Please note the following dates: o o o o o o o o
September 23 October 7 November 11 December 13 (in conjunction with vespers) January 20 February 3 March 9 April 13
Students who miss community night receive a “missed obligation” (automatic detention). Students are given one community night PASS per semester. Students may use their PASS to have dinner with a family member or guardian. Students may not bring another boarder when they use their PASS. Excessive community night absences weaken the quality of the program. Cell phones must be turned in before dinner on community nights. They will be returned following study hall. CAMPUS WEEKENDS All boarders must stay on campus to enjoy the activities and weekend. Any extreme circumstances of missing a campus weekend must be approved by the Director of Residential Life. Boarders are encouraged to host overnight guests – the more the merrier! If you miss a night during a campus weekend, it counts double towards your allotted overnights.

COMMUNITY NIGHT PASS
Community nights strengthen our boarding community. However, we understand rare circumstances arise which may conflict with a dinner. Students are given one community night PASS per semester, which may be used only for dinner with a family member or legal guardian. A 24-hour advance approval from your Dorm Head, Director of Residential Life, or Dean of Students must be given in order to use the PASS. No last minute, unplanned, or unapproved use is allowed. Parent or legal guardian must verbally confirm plans with same faculty member giving the advance approval. Students may not bring another boarder along; excessive community night absences weaken the program.
