It should be noted that participation on a team does commit a student to the season's schedule for that sport. An annual physical examination is required for all Pingry students. Students can be refused admission to the school if immunizations are not complete. If the administration of oral medication is required during the school day, parents must complete a Request for Medication form and send it to the school along with the medication. Forms are available from the school nurse.
Homework is an important part of the daily academic program.
It gives the students an opportunity to practice what has been presented in the classroom and to prepare for the next day's academic activities. Assignments are given regularly by every teacher. Each student is responsible for completing the work assigned in a careful fashion according to the guidelines set up by the teacher. It is expected that parents will work at home to reinforce good study habits and self discipline. Students in the Middle School should expect an average of two hours of homework each night while students in the Upper School should expect an average of three hours of homework each night.
