Sometimes your student may have gaps between classes, students are not allowed to be unsupervised. Study hall gives your student a place to come and study, do homework, maybe meet some new people while being supervised. Students may be in Study hall at any time they're not in class. This isn't a place to be loud and obnoxious, you'll be asked to leave if that is the case; but it is a place to throw in your earbuds, study by yourself or with a friend and make the best use of your time.
Must bring their own material.
