Detention
No student shall be required to remain in the classroom during any recess or lunchtime.
Detention before or after school hours is considered an appropriate means of discipline.
A student shall not be detained in school for disciplinary or other reasons for more than one hour after the close of the school day.
The school must give a notice of the detention to the parents/guardians verbally by phone, in writing (hard copy or electronic), or in person during a conference. Under no circumstances shall a student be detained at school without the knowledge of the parents/guardians, who should also be informed of the reason for detention and the exact time the period of detention will begin and end.
Students will receive an automatic detention for a serious infraction of school/classroom rules or policies at teacher and staff discretion. Detentions will also be given after three written warnings. The detention period at St. Anastasia Catholic School is held on Wednesdays from 7:15 AM-7:45 AM. Parents will receive written notification of the reason for detention and the date the detention is to be served. This notification must be signed and returned to school the next day. Students who arrive late will be given another detention to serve the following week. Failure to serve detention will result in suspension. After two detentions, the student and parent will meet with the principal and the Pastor. After three detentions, the disciplinary board will be called and next steps will be determined.
