Disciplinary Consequences

Guidelines

Detentions are assigned for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to students who violate certain provisions of the Code of Student Conduct. Repetition of that behavior could lead to additional detentions and/or suspension

Students assigned to detention are to report promptly to the designated room by 2:45 p.m. The detention period will conclude at 4:25 p.m.

Lateness to detention will not be tolerated. If you are late, you will receive more serious consequences.

**Students may NOT meet with teachers in lieu of serving a detention.

Rules for Detention:

1. Report on time.
2. Students must do academic work.
3. No talking or making noises.
4. No eating or drinking.

7. Do not rearrange the furniture (all students must sit and face forward at their desks).
8. Do not deface any furniture and/or walls in the detention/EDD room.

**Violation of these procedures may result in further discipline.

**YOU MAY NOT RESCHEDULE A DETENTION.  FAILURE TO ATTEND A DETENTION ON THE DATE ASSIGNED WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL DISCIPLINARY CONSEQUENCES. A DOCTOR’S NOTE MUST BE SUBMITTED THE NEXT DAY IF A DETENTION IS MISSED DUE TO A DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENT TO AVOID THE ADDITIONAL CONSEQUENCES.

Guidelines

The Extended Day Detention (EDD) is designed to provide an alternative to an out-of-school suspension thus allowing students to maintain continuity in their school work.

The Extended Day Detention is scheduled each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 2:45 p.m. until
5:30 p.m.

When this type of detention is imposed, the parent is contacted by phone. In many cases, a meeting with the parent is necessary and is scheduled by the appropriate Administrator.

Students whose conduct results in an Extended Day Detention may NOT participate in ANY school related activity or function on the date(s) of detention.

Students may not meet with teachers in lieu of serving an EDD.

Procedures for Extended Day Detention

Students must arrive at the Extended Day Detention center by 2:45 p.m. on the day of suspension. Students will be dismissed from EDD at 5:30 p.m.

Students are expected to have textbooks and notebooks along with known assignments. All students serving an Extended Day Detention must remain in the room with the exception of lavatory use. Students absent for excused reasons on the designated day of EDD will serve the EDD at a later date determined by the appropriate Administrator. Students may be involved in the following activities along with their regular assignments during their stay in the EDD center:

1. Individualized study skills programs.
2. Other work activities under direct supervision of the EDD Staff.

Students who are uncooperative in the EDD center, or refuse to report to their EDD in the center, may be assigned to an out of school suspension.

Guidelines

The In School Suspension is held daily Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 2:40 p.m.

Students suspended in-school will report to the main office by 7:30 each day of their assigned suspension.

Procedures

Attendance will be taken by the In School Suspension supervisor. Students will remain in the in-school suspension room until the end of the school day. No student will be excused prior to the end of the school day except for a medical emergency. Hall passes will not be issued.

There will be two (2) five minute lavatory breaks-one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Students may bring their lunch or will order one from the cafeteria in the morning.

Students absent from school on any day they are assigned In School Suspension will report to the In School
Suspension room immediately upon their return to school. A student will not be readmitted to class until his/her suspension time has been completed. Students not completing their assignments will receive a zero for those assignments.

Students who are tardy to school on days when they are assigned In School Suspension must still report to the In School Suspension room after signing in with the Attendance Office. All missed time must be made up during the next school day.

Depending on how much notice is received, teachers will send assignments to the students assigned to ISS. Otherwise students are expected to collect work and bring it with them to ISS. Students will receive credit for work completed during the suspension period.

STUDENTS WHO ARE ASSIGNED AN IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL DAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTING THEIR OWN WORK FROM THEIR TEACHERS.

The strictest study rules will be maintained in the In School Suspension room.

Rules for In-School Suspension:

1. In School Suspension will run for the entire school day. Upon arriving at school, students will report to the In School Suspension room. The only legitimate excuses for not reporting to or being dismissed from ISS are medical emergencies or doctor/dental appointments. Doctor/ dental appointments need prior approval. All missed time needs to be made up the following school day.
2. Students need to bring all of their textbooks, a pencil and some paper to the ISS room at the beginning of the day. (Note: only school approved materials will be permitted in the room). Assignments will be provided by the appropriate teachers whenever possible. Students who fail to bring school work/materials MAY be provided with assignments.
3. Talking is not permitted unless addressed by a faculty member or administrator.
4. Students must be courteous and cooperative at all times. Disruptions will not be tolerated.
5. Students are not permitted to leave the room unless escorted by a member of the faculty/staff or an administrator. Loitering in the halls will not be permitted.
6. Students will be responsible for maintaining the condition of the room.  Marking the desks and/or chairs is prohibited.
7. Students will not be permitted to nap/sleep.
8. Students may eat food only during the designated lunch break. Glass bottles are not permitted in the room and will be confiscated.
9. Students serving in school suspensions may not participate and/or attend any school sponsored event and/or activity. Students serving ISS may not be on school property after school.
10. When a student commits an offense warranting a fourth ISS during any school year, he/she will be given Out of School Suspension.
11. Violations of ANY of these regulations will result in additional disciplinary action.
12. Students are not permitted to return to their regular classes until the entire ISS has been served.

A student may be suspended if he/she disrupts the educational and social life of any part of the school and/or repeatedly disobey school regulations. The “Code of Student Conduct,” a policy statement of the Board of School Directors available in the library and the Principal’s Office lists the types of misbehavior and disciplinary options.

• If a student is suspended from school for 1-2 days the students is responsible for collecting the work he/she missed.
• If a student is suspended for 3 or more days, the guidance counselor will collect work for the student.

Seniors about to graduate in June are subject to suspension like everyone, and therefore, risk removal from commencement exercises, if the days of suspension include the day of commencement.

During suspension a student may not attend school functions, participate in school sponsored activities, or be permitted on school premises. If this rule is violated, the suspension can be extended.

A suspension is recorded on a student’s disciplinary record, which is maintained in the attendance office, and is reported to the Superintendent of Schools and the Pupil Services Office; in the event of very serious offenses – weapons offenses, assault, and extensive vandalism – the suspension may be entered into a student’s cumulative record, which is maintained in the student services office.

Parent contact is part of the suspension procedure and will include a parent conference.

Referral forms are sent home for all infractions (detentions, EDD, ISS, and out of school suspension)
