Lights Out – By assigned lights out times, students should turn off computers and all lights (except for small night lights) and be in bed. After lights out, students are expected to stay in their rooms. Students may ask for late lights if necessary and may stay up past lights out time if permission is granted by the dorm parent or prefect on duty. They are not allowed to hang out in the lobby or in someone else’s room because the adult supervision has gone to bed. Breaking this “after lights out expectation” can lead to a change in a student’s conduct status

Visitors, Guests & Dorm Visitation
Boarding students are expected to introduce all guests to the Deans Office and/or the dorm parent on duty. Non-WMA overnight guests, including relatives of students, are welcome to sleep over in a boarding student’s room if cleared by the Deans Office before 3 p.m. on Friday. Parents/guardians are not allowed to sleep in the dorms. Please see the Visitors & Guests section of this handbook for more information.
WMA recognizes the wish of students to visit each other in the dormitories. Accordingly, visitation is allowed under the following conditions:
• Dorm visitation takes place on Friday and Saturday evenings from 8 - 10 p.m.
• Non-WMA students are not permitted to participate in dorm visitation unless approved by the Deans Office or Administrator On Duty.
• Students must introduce their guest (WMA student or visitor) to their dorm parents and request permission for visitation; any change of location requires the student to notify the dorm parent.
• Guests are escorted through the dorm by their hosts.
• During dorm visitation, doors are open, lights on and music is kept at a reasonable level.
• Students’ conduct should reflect respectful and reasonable social interaction.
• Visitation occurs when it is healthy and safe to do so.
Students who fail to abide by these guidelines or comply with the requests of dorm parents will lose this privilege and may face disciplinary consequences.
