Dorm Life

At Eagleton, a student's daily residential life includes two residential meetings each day to discuss his goal of the day, his progress toward that goal, and any obstacles to meeting that goal.  The meetings also involve discussion of issues in the residence and other subjects the students may want to address.

Daily chores are also part of the structured home setting. These chores include setting the table for meals, clearing after meals, cleaning rooms and maintaining their home environment.  During chore time, the childcare worker monitors and supports residents through instruction and demonstration.
