Detention time is assigned by the administration and teachers as a corrective measure for certain infractions of school policy ˆ such as repeated tardiness, class cuts, truancy, and behavioral problems.

               (Elem.) All Discipline Reports will be handled by the classroom teacher or teacher on duty.  All serious
                            infractions will be handled by the administrator.

               (J.H.) Definitions of Detentions

                     Upon receiving a 4th Disciplinary Report, students will receive a Class II detention and a Class II
                          detention for every Disciplinary Report thereafter during the school year.

                     Class III Detention ˆ Three Class II Detentions equal one Class III detention.  For each Class III   
                           Detention the student is subject to the following:
                               #1. The student serves an hour detention.
                               #2. The student‚s record is examined.
                               * Suspension may result upon the student     
                                 receiving a second Class III Detention.
 
    Students serving detention are expected to:
          1.  report to the detention room in the Junior High Building immediately after school,

          2.  bring adequate schoolwork and supplies to keep busy for the entire period,

          3.  report to the detention room every afternoon EXCEPT FRIDAY at 3:10 until the detention time is made
               up,

          4.  remain in the detention room until the 3:40 p.m.

     Teachers may come to the detention room and take a student to their classroom for individual help and study.

     Whenever possible, students will be allowed a 24-hour period for starting to serve detention time.  This is done in order for the student to notify his/her parents of the detention, and if need be, arrange for transportation to arrive at 3:45 p.m. on the day or days of detention.  Conflicts with transportation or jobs will be taken into consideration if the student indicates there is a problem prior to the detention being served.

     Any student who thinks they have a valid reason for not reporting to the detention room as assigned must be excused only by the detention room teacher prior to when they are to report to the detention room or another detention will be added.  Parents may call or speak to the detention teacher in person to request their child be excused.
