Detentions
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 (Behavior Form).
Detentions are held on Thursday mornings from 7:05 am – 7:45 am and students must report to the assigned room.
Parents will receive written notification of the reason for the 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. Detentions not served will be doubled. Repeated detentions (3) in a single trimester will result in a Suspension or Disciplinary Probation Period (to be determined by the Discipline Board), or may indicate a need to evaluate a student’s continuance at Visitation School.
Parent signatures on the detention notices do not grant or deny permission to serve the detention. They are an acknowledgment that the parent is aware that the student has received a disciplinary consequence. Students must serve them regardless. Each detention impacts the student’s Behavior Grade.
