Lower School Residential Life

Lower School students retrieving their mail.

The residential life of Lower School Institute students is deliberately scheduled to assist them in meeting all of their academic requirements with proper rest and adequate time for recreation.

 

 

 

 

  • Breakfast Check-In: All LSI boarding students are required to check-in at breakfast before 8 a.m. on school days. House counselors of students who miss, or are late to check-in are notified by e-mail.
  • Evenings in the Dorms
    • Sign-In on Nights Before Classes: LSI boarding students are required to check-in for the night by 7:30 p.m. on nights before classes. LSI students participate in study activities monitored by their teachers. Tuesday nights are the only exception.
    • In-Room on Nights Before Classes: LSI boarding students are required to be in their own rooms by 10 p.m. on nights before classes.
    • Lights-Out on Nights Before Classes: There is a 10:30 p.m. lights-out policy for LSI boarding students on nights before classes.
    • Sign-In on Saturday Nights: Like all Summer Session boarding students, LSI boarding students are required to sign–in by 11 p.m. on Saturday nights.
    • In-Room on Saturday Nights: LSI boarding students are required to be in their own rooms by midnight on Saturday nights.
    • Lights-Out on Saturday Nights: It is left to the house counselors discretion whether or not to institute a lights-out policy on Saturday nights.
  • Student Activities
    • LSI Tuesday Night Activities: Each Tuesday night there will also be an activity planned solely for LSI students. Unlike the Saturday events, all LSI students are required to attend the Tuesday night activities. These typically run from about 6:30 until 9:30 p.m. A list of these activities is e-mailed to the students.
    • LSI Saturday Night Activities: Each Saturday night there will be an activity planned solely for LSI students. Although all students are encouraged to attend these activities, their attendance is not required. A list of these activities is e-mailed to the students.
    • Flyers for all LSI Activities are posted in their dorms and in the day student locker area.
  • Day Excuses: While Lower School Institute students may walk downtown during free periods and take part in school-sponsored trips off campus, they are not permitted to take Day Excuses (as described in the Summer Session Handbook).
  • Visiting Dorms Of The Opposite Gender: LSI students are not allowed inside dorms occupied by the opposite gender. Students are directed to study and socialize in common areas on campus.
