A Day at Rumsey - Upper School

Each dorm parent supervises the students making their beds and cleaning their rooms.

Each morning, before the school day begins, students and faculty gather for announcements, captain's reports from games, and the traditional opening of each day. At Rumsey it's important that we start the day together.

This is a break between 3rd and 4th periods when students have the opportunity to be outside, get cookies from our daily cookie line and just enjoy each others company.

This special class period built into the schedule provides time for teachers to offer students individualized extra help or extra challenge. Though students may voluntarily attend these sessions, it is the teacher's responsibility to notify students when attendance is required. Depending on their status in the Effort System, students not called in for extra help/challenge may have free time or must attend a proctored study hall.

This is an opportunity for students to participate in a variety of activities that range from competitive team sports to a medley of other activities.

Quiet time in the vicinity of the dorm after a busy day provides an opportunity for students to either relax inside their dorm or play outside with their peers.

All meals are family style with assigned seats.

This is a quiet hour and a half study hall monitored by either dorm parents within their dorm or by different faculty or other administrators within the main study hall.

Depending on each dorm.
