Definition
A supervised period during the school day — common in K-12 — set aside for students to complete homework, study, or read independently. Study halls may be supervised by a teacher or paraprofessional and can be held in classrooms, libraries, or cafeterias. In some schools, study hall is mandatory; in others, it is an elective period option for students with free periods in their schedule.
