Boston, or dinner out at a restaurant and a movie. 2. Students’ plans include checking in by 11:00 p.m. 3.

Laundry Each house is equipped with coin-operated washers and dryers for student use. Machines require quarters. The School contracts E & R Laundry Service, and as part of boarding student tuition, E & R will wash students’ linens (6 towels, 4 sheets, and 2 pillow cases) weekly. Students may substitute linens brought from home, however, E & R laundry bags must be picked up during registration or requested from facilities after the opening of school. Laundering of clothes, as well as dry cleaning, is available at an additional cost through E & R Laundry Service and contracts are sent to boarding families over the summer directly from E & R.
Lock boxes We expect that students will do their part in maintaining security by locking their doors, reporting lost ID swipe cards and room keys, and by reporting any malfunctioning doors or locks. For added security of small valuables, each student room is equipped with a lock box for each resident. Boarding students are urged not to keep large sums of money in their possession (see “Allowance” on page 43). 1. Milton Academy bears no responsibility for items lost or stolen from lock boxes. 2. Tampering with or modifying lock boxes is prohibited. Students are responsible for the condition of their assigned lock box; the cost for repair or replacement will be charged to the student’s incidental account, and violations of this regulation may result in disciplinary action. 3. Any lock placed on a lock box by a student must be removable with bolt cutters. Students are responsible for their key and/or combination. 4. Students should expect the contents of lock boxes to be inspected by the School. a. If a lock box cannot be opened at the time requested, for any reason, the lock will be removed at that time. The School will not bear the expense to replace the lock. b. Students will be held accountable for any contents in their assigned lock box.
Medication Policy Prescription Medication Boarding students taking prescription medication must bring their prescriptions to the Health and Counseling Center for review by the medical staff. We ask that students only keep a limited amount of over-the-counter medications in their rooms. We prefer students to obtain over-thecounter medications (i.e. Tylenol or Ibuprofen) from the Health and Counseling Center.

The Health Center will fill prescription medications prescribed by the School physician for all boarding students. The student’s Incidental Account (IA) will be charged for the co-pay. In order for the pharmacy to fill the prescriptions, the School must provide them with the pharmacy codes from the student’s insurance card. It is imperative that parents provide the Health Center with the policy’s Rx Bin #, PCN number (if applicable) and Rx Group # (if applicable). The Rx Bin number, also known as the Business Identification Number, can be found on the front of your health insurance card; if you have a separate prescription plan, it can be found on the prescription card. It may show as BIN, a number, and then Rx, or it may be in the Rx Bin (number) format. It usually appears on the lower corner of the card. In some cases it may appear beneath your policy number. In the rare instance that this number is not located on your card, we ask that you call your member service department to request this information. If you do not provide this number and your child requires prescription medication, we will have to charge your child’s IA account for the full pharmacy cost.
