When a student disrupts learning by chronically disobeying or egregiously violating a classroom rule they are subject to an after school detention. Students who are sent out of class are automatically eligible for detention. Detention is a 45 minute reflection penalty served after the school day is over. Students will write some form of reflective work to explain their action and describe how they will prevent another incident. A teacher may elect to hold the student after school in the classroom rather than take official disciplinary action. • IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION – A student may be placed on “in-school suspension” by an administrator. During any such designated time, the suspended student will have no contact with other students during the school day. Assignments will be carried out under the direction of the Principal or someone designated by the Principal.
