Policies & Procedures

Discipline



Detention Procedures

Detention meets everyday of the week from 2:50 p.m. until 3:35 p.m. You are to report to the teacher who is supervising detention with books to study. Listen to the morning and afternoon announcements to identify the teacher for that day. Because detention assignments have included the understanding of transportation, missing detention may result in progressing to one day in in-school suspension.



In-School Suspension Procedures

ISS meets everyday. If you are assigned ISS, you are to report to ISS on time after first period with your assignments, books, paper and materials needed for the rest of the day. ISS has been assigned one to two days prior to assigned date. It is the responsibility of the student to collect work needed for ISS prior to the day of assignment. Please do not expect to be released for any reason. Students will attend their first period class. ISS will begin after first period (second period on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and third period on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
