Senior Privileges
Recognizing that MSSM seniors are leaders and stewards of the community, they have special responsibilities and privileges not extended to students in the lower grades. MSSM expects its older students to conduct themselves appropriately, cultivating a positive tone and decorum. The School offers certain privileges in the spirit of responsibility and leadership. Senior privileges will be determined at some point during the first semester. The group will provide a list of their requests and then will be determined by the Director of Residential Life.
Students will be notified when they have mail. Mail will be brought down to the dorm office where they can pick it up. Parents if you are mailing medication, please address it to the School Nurse.
Student mail should be addressed as follows:
Student Name

Meals
In addition to helping maintain a student’s physical health and nutrition, meals are an important time for developing connections with members of the community. All students are encouraged to eat regularly in the dining hall with their peers. Proper behavior must be maintained at meals, and good manners are expected at all times. To-go meals should only be taken out for academic purposes. We strongly encourage our students to eat in the dining hall with the community.

Sign In/Out Procedure
Sign In/Out Procedure
While MSSM cannot guarantee knowledge of all students' whereabouts at all times, regulations governing signing out are designed to give the staff a reasonable knowledge of each student's location, and thus a way of reaching them in the event of an emergency.
The sign in/out process requires the student to fill out a REACH leave request and must check out with the staff member on duty to obtain approval.
Students must sign out any time they leave campus for a non-sanctioned school trip. The one exception to this rule is the weekly trip toPresque Isle. Permission from the residential life staff is needed for any unsupervised trip lasting longer than two hours or extending outside of Limestone town limits.
REACH
REACH coordinates Leave Request procedures for School Staff, Parents, Hosts and Students by creating an easy to use, paperless system that you can access from anywhere at any time and from any device. REACH is available for you to use from any PC or mobile device 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The following sections are all coordinated through REACH during the school year.
Going Off-Campus
Students must sign-out each time they wish to leave campus. Students may sign-out if he/she/they are in good standing with academics and within the boarding community, has the proper permissions, and acts in accordance with the guidelines set in place by the Residential Life Handbook. Students must sign back in upon return to campus.
Leave Requests
Students are permitted to leave campus on the weekends to visit family and friends, provided the student is in good academic and social standing and has no work hours scheduled with the Residential Life Staff.
Overnight Permission
Students seeking permission for an overnight excursion are required to submit an Overnight Leave Request through REACH. Students given permission to go on a non school sanctioned overnight trip must check out with the staff member on duty to obtain approval.
Automobiles
Automobiles on campus are a privilege. Students may have vehicles on campus from August 21st - November 17th. Students may return to campus with their cars upon arrival from April break. When students arrive on campus with vehicles, they must park their vehicles in the assigned area and report directly to the residential staff to turn in all their keys for the vehicles. Students who have brought cars to school may use their cars only when departing for extended weekends or vacations. All exceptions to this must be approved by the Director of Residential LIfe. Student vehicles are subject to search at any time while they are at MSSM.
Business Office Monthly Account
MSSM regulates your students' account using My Kids Spending. Students may charge weekend activities and expenses for other programs that the school offers as long as their account contains a positive balance.
