You can always catch me, Rowan, in the halls, or any other member of the SGA: Phoebe and Jon, Head Monitors, Dilan and Dylan, Day Monitors, Shira and Jace, Boarding Monitors, Remy and Edward, Class I Representatives, Laura, Class II Representative, and Isabella and Ali, Class III Representatives. You can also always send us a message or DM with questions—we are your student government, and this is your column! Here, we’ll share important updates, SGA meeting notes, and the perspective of various SGA members.
Recently, the Boarding and Day Monitors have been working closely with the administration to question the necessity of the new REACH sign-in protocol. Here are some questions they’ve been asking:
What’s the priority—morning class attendance or the check-in? Should we prioritize getting to class on time or scanning in?
Why is a second morning attendance procedure necessary when teachers already take attendance?
Can we install tags on the inside of each classroom for more options of where to sign in?
Why do boarders have to do a second check in? What’s the purpose of a second check-in for day students if they’re never signing out and still on campus at 6 P.M.?
Why do parents need an email every day?
Come back next issue for the administration’s answer to each of these questions.
