AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION

AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION

After school detention ranges from 30 to 60 minutes. Detentions are intended to serve as a disciplinary aid in improving students' behavior, tardiness, and completion of classwork. Students may be assigned campus clean-up as a consequence or they may be allowed to work on homework. Students are required to return all discipline forms to the Discipline Office BEFORE SCHOOL starts. Detentions are doubled if students fail to return the form.

Students assigned to detention must adhere to the following rules:

1. Student must attend on the day he/she has been assigned.

2. There is no talking, standing up, or moving around during detention without teacher permission.

3. Students are to follow the directions of the detention teacher.

4. No one will be excused without permission.

5. Each student assigned to detention is expected to take care of all personal needs before he/she enters detention.

6. The teacher may assign specific seats in detention and specific instructions must be followed.

7. Students assigned to detention must bring school books and work material

to detention.

8. Students who have finished assigned homework will be expected to finish the detention by reading appropriate books. Comic books, teen magazines, etc., are not to be brought to detention.

9. Students will not be allowed to go to their locker once they have reported to detention.

10. Students who create a disturbance in detention or do not follow the teacher's directions will be asked to leave. Teacher discretion is the determining factor. If asked to leave, the amount of time assigned to detention will be doubled.
