Student Services Offered

Ground transportation to airports is offered three times during the school year: after first term (Thanksgiving Break), prior to Winter Break, and after second term (Spring Break). Vans depart from the Edith Memorial Chapel. A fee of $25 is donated to the School Camp. As transportation dates approach an announcement will appear in Parents' Net and the Houseletter and a notification e-mail will be sent to students. Contact the Dean of Students office for more information: (609) 895-2068 or BCornell@lawrenceville.org.

Personal Development

Second and Third Form students are required to take a personal development seminar. The 10-12 week seminar addresses adolescent issues such as time management, nutrition, self-esteem, relationships, drug and alcohol use, and human sexuality. The approach is designed to promote communication skills, values clarification, and effective decision-making skills. The adult-led seminar provides for peer discussion and an opportunity to explore development tasks and challenges that affect their lives.

Fourth and Fifth Form students will participate in periodic discussion groups led by House teams and outside speakers. Topics will include residential/community life, transition to college life, separation and loss, and human sexuality issues. These sessions will be conducted during the School day through the Dean of Students office.

Lost and Found

Students can drop off found items and check for lost items in the Registrar's Office, located on the second floor of the Noyes Center. There is also a lost-and-found in the Lavino Field House for athletic equipment. The Houseletter also posts a daily lost-and-found list.

Insurance

The School cannot take responsibility for items lost or stolen from students' rooms or lockers. The School's insurance policy does not cover students' possessions while they are at School. Many homeowners' policies do cover such possessions against theft or loss. The School recommends that parents check their policy to be sure they have riders that provide the appropriate coverage.

Storage

Due to local fire code restrictions, Lawrenceville discourages students from leaving any personal belongings on campus during the summer. Students who do store items in approved areas must understand that all belongings are stored at the owner's risk. The School cannot and will not take any responsibility or make compensation for lost, stolen, or damaged goods Announcements will be posted on Parents’ Net with information.

Laundry

Each House is equipped with coin-operated washing machines and dryers. In addition, students may send their personal clothing to an outside commercial laundry, the All Prep Laundry Company (609 393-4446). Families contract directly with this company. This service is independent of The Lawrenceville School.
