Who will help my child get out of bed in the morning?
Boarding school can be a hard transition for some students and sometimes one of the hardest things is getting out of bed in the morning. For students who are used to a family member waking them, it can be especially difficult to get up because the student know that there will be no one giving reminders. We encourage students to get used to waking up with an alarm clock before they get here if they are not already accustomed to this. If a student is still having trouble waking up, we might ask a roommate or senior to make sure that he/she is awake at least 10 minutes before their first required activity, but ultimately, we want each student to be responsible for getting up every morning.
