PERMISSION FOR STUDENT TO LEAVE THE DORMITORY WITH FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND You are giving your child permission to leave the dormitory and spend time with each of the individuals listed below. However, before we allow your child to leave the dormitory with these family members or friends, a member of our staff will need to approve each one of them to ensure that they understand their responsibly, act in the best interest of your child, and communicate with our staff as necessary. Our school’s top priority is the safety, security, and health of your child, and it will be extremely important that we trust and have good communication with the individuals who spend time with your child outside our dormitory.

Important Guidelines for This Process • Students must receive permission to leave the dormitory with a family member or friend directly from their parent(s) or agent • Student leave is managed through Boardingware and all parents, hosts, and students must have accounts in order to request and authorize student leave. Staff will help students and families set up Boardingware accounts at the beginning of the school year. • Students may not use the same email account as their parent(s) in order to give themselves permission to leave the dormitory. This is email fraud and will lead to severe disciplinary consequences. • When first visiting a student, family members and friends will need to come to the dormitory to meet our staff, provide a copy of identification, provide a plan of their time with the student, and provide contact information. • Required Family Member or Family Friend Information (required for each individual – please do not leave any section blank)

RESIDENTIAL LIFE What happens during New Student Orientation? This is a very important and fun time! New students will get to know each other, meet their teachers, learn about safety measures in the boarding program, and become familiar with Lower Manhattan. It is also when new students will receive their school supplies such as school uniforms, and they will go get their New York Physical Exam.

When will I receive my class schedule? You will receive your class schedule on September 4 during the Upper School Open House.

What are the safety and security procedures? Student safety and security is one of our top priorities. We have alarms in every apartment to ensure that students are inside at night, and boarding staff live on the same foor as students and frequently check on student apartments. When signing out of our residential facility, students must get permission from staff and they must carry a charged cell phone.

Will I have roommates? Yes! One of the terrific things about boarding is that you get to make friends with people from all over the world. Each apartment is different, so you may have 1, 2, or 3 roommates depending on the size of your room. You will share a bathroom with your roommates. We do not offer single rooms.

What is the weather like in NYC? What kind of clothes should I bring? NYC can be very hot in the summer (June-Au- gust) and can get below freezing in the winter (December-February). In addition to your regular clothes, we definitely recommend bringing a warm winter jacket and hats and gloves. You will receive school uniform items upon arrival and will wear that on school days.

Where do I eat meals? Healthy, nutritious meals are provided every school day in our cafeteria at 1 Morris Street. Weekend brunches are provided at 37 Wall Street.

What do I do when I’ve got jet lag? Many international students suffer from jet lag when they first arrive in the country after a long fight. As soon as you begin your fight try to adapt your body schedule to the time in NYC. As soon as you arrive, try to get on a sleep schedule appropriate to the time in our area. Drink plenty of water while traveling. Get up and walk around the plane when the seatbelt sign is off and while in airports. During the daytime, get outside in the sunlight whenever possible.

How can I get an account at a NYC bank? Many of our boarding students have bank accounts through Bank of America, which is conveniently located next to the Upper School. However, students who are under 18 may not open up a checking account without a parent or guardian to sign for them. Residential Counselors may not sign any banking forms on behalf of parents.

How do I get a telephone? Students will need to bring their own cell phone. We will provide students with a SIM card if necessary.

What do I bring? Bring whatever will make you feel at home. Léman Manhattan and 37 Wall Street will be your new “home away from home,” so we want you to be comfortable and happy. That said, you can purchase almost anything you need in NYC so don’t worry if you forget something!

What should I not bring? Do not bring medications, unless you have a written prescription from a doctor. Do not bring too much luggage – there is limited storage space in each room. Most students bring two suitcases worth of belongings. You do not need to bring bed linens or pillows; our program provides those items. Rooms are fully furnished upon student arrival. Students may not purchase any large furniture for their room.

What about money? Our program provides all meals and activities throughout the week, so you should not need a lot of extra money unless you plan to eat out, go shopping, or pursue activities outside of our program’s offerings. Please do not bring large amounts of cash or other valuables.

24 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the resources for learning English? In addition to our mainstream curriculum and English Language Learner (ELL) classes, we utilize these additional resources: Rosetta Stone, Bilingual Dictionaries, English Grammar in Use, texts from Cambridge University Press, and ESL Brainpop.

Will Leman Manhattan pay for airport transportation services? We will pay for car service four times throughout the year: arrival at the beginning of the school year, departure at winter break, arrival from winter break, departure at the end of the school year. Additional airport car service will have to be paid for by the student, though our staff will assist students with arranging car service.

Should my student store valuable items in their apartment? We strongly advise against students storing anything valuable in their apartments, including expensive jewelry or luxury goods of any kind. Our staff cannot ensure the safekeeping of expensive items in a dormitory context. If students wish to purchase such items, we suggest purchasing them immediately prior to returning home so that they are being stored in the apartment for a minimal period.

How do I receive mail and packages? Students can pick up their packages from the mail room in the dormitory. Letter mail is delivered to student rooms on a regular basis. An example student address is shown below. Student Name 37 Wall St. APT 4J New York, NY 10005

HEALTH & MEDICAL

Should I bring my own medicine? Only if this medicine is prescribed by a doctor and you have written documentation by a physician that this medication is provided. Over-the-counter medications will be available to students as needed.

Can I keep medicine in my room? Students may not store over-the-counter medicines or herbal supplements in their rooms unless indicated as necessary by a physician and parent/guardian.

Do I need a physical before attending school? While we welcome all medical information to best take care of your child, a physical is required for every student, every year by a New York State physician. This will be provided during the first few weeks of school and is included in tuition.

What happens if I get sick while at school? We have a doctor on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days for week to assist with directing medical care to our students. In addition, Residential Counselors complete medical training in the beginning of the year.

What is covered by the health insurance provided by Léman Manhattan Preparatory School? The health insurance provided by the school will pay for most trips to the doctor or emergency room for illnesses or injuries that may occur over the school year. The insurance does not cover preventive medicine (wellness visits), nor does it cover vaccines, glasses/contacts, cosmetic dermatology, treatment for acne, or routine dental visits.

How do I stay healthy while studying? Our program strongly encourages students to get plenty of sleep, eat well, exercise on a daily basis, and practice good hygiene. We have many options for students who want to exercise and our cafeteria serves healthy and nutritious food. The boarding staff works with students individually to make sure they develop healthy sleep patterns and practice good daily hygiene.
