Boarding

On Sunday through Thursday nights, 10:30 p.m. is the check-in time for boarders. At this time, all students are expected to be on their dormitory floors or in their rooms as the resident faculty on duty and the senior proctors do the nightly check-in. Lights-out is at 11:00 p.m., at which time the overhead lights in the rooms should be turned off and the rooms should be silent.

On the weekends, check-in time is at 11:00 p.m., at which time students must check in with the resident faculty member on their floor and thereafter remain in the dormitory.

Unless granted specific permission by the Dean of Students or the dormitory supervisor, all boarding students are expected to remain in their respective dormitories after the final check-in at 10:30 p.m. Students found outside their dormitories past the final check-in will immediately speak to the AOD and disciplinary committee will convene.

2. The Dean of Students or his/her designate will review the weekend request, check parents or host, and determine if all obligations (athletic events, classes, etc.) have been met before giving final approval.
3. The student returns Sunday night by 7:00 p.m. to prepare for the evening study hall at 7:30 p.m. If an emergency occurs or if they are going to be late, students must call the Administrator On Duty at 207- 966-5333.
4. The student is not to embarrass Hebron or their family with inappropriate behavior on the weekend.

7. If the student is involved in any falsification of weekend plans or leaving campus without permission, the student may lose weekend privileges for a period of time to be determined by the Dean of Students, be placed on probation, be suspended or be called before the Disciplinary Committee to discuss the student’s continued presence at Hebron.

Students are responsible for the complete care of their rooms. Regular room inspections are conducted by the dormitory faculty. The Housekeeping Staff does not clean student rooms.

Shortly after arrival, students will fill out and sign a Dormitory Inspection Form with their dormitory supervisor. Students will be held accountable for the condition of their rooms. Each room will be inspected again in June. Student accounts will be billed for damage. There is a sizeable cleaning fee for rooms not left in reasonable condition

Students are responsible for damage done in their rooms and will be charged for the damage.

In cases of damage to the corridors or common areas where responsibility cannot be placed, the cost of the repairs will be divided among all students on the floor or in the dormitory.

Hebron hopes that all students will wish to decorate their rooms in a bright and cheerful fashion. Such decoration must be in good taste and must adhere to the state fire laws. Hebron is dedicated to the health and growth of its members, therefore decorations that relate to alcohol and other drug use are not permitted.

Each room is equipped with a bed, bureau, desk, chair and wastebasket. All mattresses are 36 inches wide by 80 inches long (an extra-long twin size mattress).

Curtains are not provided for dorm windows. If you should choose to provide curtains, the following dimensions may be helpful. The measurements provided are the approximate inside dimensions. Students may not use nails and tacks on either the woodwork or walls. We suggest using a spring rod to hold the curtains in place. Most rooms have only one window.

• Atwood: 40 3/4 inches wide by 62 1/2 inches long
• Halford: 42 3/4 inches wide by 52 3/4 inches long
• Sturtevant: 32 inches wide by 66 3/4 inches long

Resident faculty will conduct regular inspections of the room to see that housekeeping is properly done, the contents of the room are adequately cared for and safety and health regulations are enforced.

Consideration of safety, common sense, and good taste are to be adhered to in all matters. This means no interference with fire prevention or detection apparatus and no hindrance of access to rooms.

The school is obligated to see that illegal or contraband materials, dangerous items or stolen articles are not kept in students’ rooms. In recognition of the privacy and integrity of the student’s residence, rooms will be searched for illegal, dangerous or stolen items only when warranted. Students are responsible for their rooms and the contents at all times.

Boarding students are issued room keys at the beginning of the year. Students who lose their keys during the year will be charged $20 for a replacement.

Rooms are assigned prior to the opening of school, and after the dorm faculty has returned to the campus. A great deal of attention goes into the assigning of rooms and room changes will only be permitted in exceptional circumstances.

The Post Office is located on the edge of the campus, next to the Academy’s Business Office. It is open from 7:30 am to 10:30 am and 11:30 am to 2:30 pm daily. Students may visit the Post Office during a free period or break time.

Boarding students who rent post office boxes should bring identification with them.
