The Upper School Day

Arrival Students are expected to enter the school using their swipe cards at their designated grade-specific doors closest to their lockers. Students are not permitted to enter the main door of the Upper School after 7 am, and before 4 pm. This entrance, and the associated waiting area in the Rotunda, is reserved for parents and guests who must sign in with Security before being issued a Visitor Pass. Attendance Regular attendance at school is critical for student learning and success. Havergal students are expected to be committed to their academic responsibilities and co-curricular commitments. The school makes accommodations, where possible and appropriate, for elite athletes and for exceptional family requests. In such cases, parents must advise the school well in advance of the anticipated absences (when possible) so that the appropriate arrangements for academic support can be put into place. Daily student absences must be reported by a parent or guardian to the Day School Office (DSO) prior to the start of the school day; that is before 8 am. This may be done by telephone or an email message sent from a parent or guardian’s email account. The DSO will call home if no call or email is received.

The Day School Office hours are from 7:30 am to 4 pm, Monday to Friday.
