Detention is held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 2:50 PM to 4:00 PM. Unless otherwise indicated, detention will be held in Room 165.
Students assigned to detention are expected to complete self-reflection activities. Refusal to do so will lead to a continuation of the detention to the next available detention day.
In cases of certain, more serious infractions, or when a pattern of behavior develops and other interventions have proven unsuccessful, students may be assigned to Saturday Detention. Saturday Detention will be held monthly from 9 AM to 12 PM in the High School Cafeteria.
Detention is assigned when students violate the Code of Conduct. When assigned a detention, parents will be notified by a staff member.
Students serving detention are expected to come prepared with enough books and materials to keep themselves busy for the entire detention period and to be quiet and orderly while there. Any student without work or appropriate reading material will be assigned work by the teacher in charge. Students are not permitted to talk or to write/pass notes during the detention period.
Students serving detentions must arrange transportation home from a parent or guardian.
A student who is absent from school on the day of the assigned detention will automatically have their detention reassigned for the next detention day. Failure to attend an assigned detention will result in the student’s discipline being elevated, to include, possible In-School Suspension.
