Detention Procedures

Teacher-Assigned Classroom Detentions

If a student's behavior is disruptive, teachers may choose to assign the student to a classroom detention. The procedures for teacher-assigned classroom detentions are as follows:

  • The classroom teacher will contact the parent/guardian prior to the assigned detention.
  • The detention is assigned during lunch time or after school in the teacher's classroom.
  • If the consequence is a lunch detention, students must bring a lunch from home or arrange with the teacher to have it provided. Students may not enter the commons during lunchtime on the day of the lunch detention.
  • If the consequence is an after school detention, students are responsible for arranging transportation home from school.
  • If a student is absent from school on the day of an assigned detention, the detention will be made up on the day he/she returns.
  • Tardiness to detention may result in disciplinary action.
  • Missing a teacher-assigned detention or misbehaving during a detention will result in referral to the office for disciplinary action. Subsequent offenses will include in or out-of-school suspension.
  • Participation in athletics, extra-curricular activities, performances, or work does not excuse a student from an after school detention. Students have the obligation to inform the coach, sponsor, or employer of the after school detention.

Office-Assigned Detentions

Students referred to the office for misbehavior may be assigned office detentions. The procedures for
office-assigned detentions are as follows:

  • The detention will be assigned during lunch time or after school in a designated room.
  • If the consequence is a lunch detention, students must bring a lunch from home or arrange with the office to have it provided. Students may not enter the commons during lunch on the day of the lunch detention.
  • If a student is absent from school on the day of an assigned detention, the detention will be made up on the day he/she returns.
  • Tardiness to detention may result in disciplinary action.
  • Missing a detention or misbehaving during a detention will result in referral to the office for disciplinary action.
  • After school detentions are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2:45 – 3:45 p.m.
