All prohibited items will be confiscated.
Health and Safety Inspections
Residential rooms, furniture, etc. are the property of St. Mary's Preparatory – not the residents. Residents are expected to maintain neat and orderly rooms. A member of the Residence Staff will inspect rooms every morning before class. Rooms will be checked for general cleanliness, made beds, empty trashcans, bathrooms, etc. Offensive and vulgar materials that do not correspond with and uphold to Catholic-Christian Values will not be tolerated and will be immediately confiscated and disciplinary action will be taken. Every evening at lights-out, rooms will be checked to ensure that all residents are accounted for. Every Thursday evening, rooms will be thoroughly inspected for cleanliness in preparation for Friday's departure. Beds should be made, floors vacuumed, rooms straightened and orderly, bathrooms cleaned, etc. The St. Mary's Preparatory Administration reserves the right to inspect and search rooms at any time. Students are responsible for providing their own cleaning and toiletry supplies.
Signing-out and Signing-In
Guardians must complete an Off Campus Permission Form consenting to the terms and conditions that the Dean of Residents and/or a member of the Residence Staff can permit their son to leave campus. Residents may not depart campus without the permission of the Dean of Residents or an appointed member of the Residence Staff. Residents must inform the Dean or Staff Member where they are intending on going, who they are going with, how they are planning on leaving campus, when they are planning on returning, and how they can be reached. Residents must sign-out and sign-in upon leaving campus and immediately upon return. This procedure also includes leaving and returning campus over weekends and vacations.
Residents leaving for the weekend may do so between 2:45 PM and 6:00 PM on Fridays. Students returning from the weekend must return between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM on Sunday. Residents may not return to the Residence Hall after 11:00 PM on Sunday. If returning to the Hall is not possible on Sunday evening, arrangements must be made with the Dean of Residents to return early on Monday morning and to sign-in at the Residence Hall Office before the start of the school day. Residents unable to arrive before 9:00 PM on Sunday must have a guardian call the Residence Hall Office.
Automobiles
Having a vehicle on campus is a privilege and its use will be granted on an “access need basis.” A Vehicle Registration Form must be completed upon arrival to the dorms. Guardians must also complete Off Campus Permission Forms, which allows your son(s) to travel as a passenger in another car, or in their car with or without passengers. Those students with this privilege must ask the Dean of Residents if he may leave campus with the use of the vehicle. If there happens to be another student wanting to travel with the student who is using their vehicle for transportation, and it is okay for the driver to have passengers, then.
