LINDEN HALL PARENT/STUDENT HANDBOOK 2020-21 The Linden Hall Parent/Student Handbook is published and distributed to members of the Linden Hall community for the purpose of providing information on aspects of student and campus life so that students may gain as much as possible from their experience at the School. Students, parents, faculty, administration, and staff should all read and be familiar with the contents of the Handbook, so that each member of the community knows and understands the expectations of students within our community.
