Disciplinary Consequences

Grades 5-12

Detention

• The purpose of detention is not punishment; instead, it is to serve as a reminder that certain actions have consequences and then act as a deterrent to the repeating of that action.

• Detention is held by school division:

Intermediate school detention (grades 5-6) will be held from 3:20 - 3:50 on Tuesday and Thursday in the Intermediate classroom building. Students will report to the designated classroom and work as assigned by the detention teacher.

Middle School detention will be held from 3:40 - 4:00 on Tuesday and Thursday in the designated Middle School Classroom. Students will work as assigned by the detention teacher.

High School detention will be held from 3:45 - 4:15 on Tuesday and Thursday in the designated high school classroom. Work will be assigned by the detention teacher.

• Students and parents will be notified by 1pm. If detention is assigned after 1pm, it will be assigned for the following detention day. (The only exception may be performance days or game days if out of town trips are scheduled or home games require the students to be there before detention would end.)

• Any student who misses detention without prior notice and approval may receive an additional detention. LCCS co-curricular activities are not a valid reason to miss a detention. (This includes all practices for Athletics and rehearsals for Fine Arts.)

• Once a high-school student reaches 3 detention assignments or a middle-school student reaches 5, they will be required to attend Saturday School ($25), as well as meet with the administration to delineate future disciplinary expectations via a behavioral contract.

In-School Suspension (ISS)

• In-School Suspension is served by a student on campus in an isolated location.

• Students are required to pay $120 when serving an ISS to offset the costs associated with supervision.

Out-of-School Suspension (OSS)

• During Out-of-School Suspensions, students are not permitted to be on campus, including extra-curricular activities.

• Days of suspension will be recorded as unexcused absences. 

• Students assigned OSS are required to make up any missed tests upon their return. Routine classwork and homework may be made up for a maximum of 50% credit.

Extracurricular Participation Policy for Suspended Students

• Any student who receives In-School Suspension (ISS) or Out-of-School Suspension (OSS) will not be permitted to participate in any extracurricular activities on the day(s) the suspension is served. Furthermore, the administration reserves the right to suspend or revoke a student's inclusion in extracurricular activities at their discretion based on the severity of the incident or recurring behavioral concerns.

Expulsion

• Expulsion is the most severe discipline step taken by LCCS.

• Upon expulsion, students are not permitted to return to campus without administrative approval.

• In the case of expulsion, families are still obligated to the LCCS tuition contract.
