Families with one (1) student:
- aged 5 and under, enrolled in one single class, are not required to complete hall monitor shifts.

Families with two (2) or more students:
- will complete a minimum of 15 hours of hall monitoring shifts.
Shifts will be scheduled on Saturdays, 9am-12pm, 12-2pm or 2-3pm.
The sign-up calendar is here https://mrs.setmore.com/hallmonitor and is first-come-first-served.
A site map of classrooms, hallways, and hall monitoring posts is available here.
We welcome non-Russian speaking parents as hall monitors – you are members of our community and we welcome the chance to get to know you too!
In the event that a family fails to participate in this cooperative effort, there will be a penalty of $25 per missed shift – which will have to be covered by some other family. [Covenant has 2 elevators, 6 flights of stairs, and multiple corridors which will be off limits to us. Experience has shown that we must have engaged monitors stationed at these locations at all times in order to guide children away from zones that are off-limits.]
Please note that requiring all enrolled families to join together in monitoring the stairs and hallways is a necessary measure to ensure an enduring, mutually supportive relationship with our hosts. Please join us in embracing your hall monitoring shifts as an opportunity to connect with fellow parents and with your children’s friends.
Educating our children is a team effort between parents, teachers and community. Please also remember that the more time each family spends actively participating in the life of our school, the more we all get to know one another and the more we each have a hand in guiding our school’s future – together.
