V. Middle School Residential Life A. Mission Statement & Philosophy Wilbraham & Monson Academy students will develop social and personal skills while living in a diverse educational community. For students who board, their dormitory serves as the nucleus for much of their lives at WMA. Their dorm parents are members of faculty and staff who support them, academically, socially and emotionally. The Middle School residential life staff, Director of the Middle School and Deans work to plan and develop developmentally-appropriate activities to build community among the Middle School boarding population. Students also participate in dorm chores. Our cleaning service still cleans the dorms and, through Tidy Titans, students develop a sense of pride and respect for their communal living space, recycle and learn how to maintain a clean, living space for all those in the dorm. B. Residential Life Policies Dormitory rules are based on common courtesy and respect for the rights and property of others. The purpose of these guidelines is to enable students and faculty to live together in a pleasant, positive environment. Reasonable requests of dorm parents are to be honored by all students. Note: Students are not allowed to have animals or pets of any kind. Weeknight (Sunday-Thursday) Evening Routine Sunday through Thursday at 6:30 p.m., the dorm parent on duty checks on the students and their rooms. Beds must be made, clothes hung in the closet or folded in dresser drawers, dirty clothes in a basket, clutter picked up, desk organized and cleared for work and trash discarded. In general, the entire room should be neat, clean and tidy. 60
