No teacher should issue numerous detentions to any student. Habitual violators should be referred to the department supervisor for further action.

Detention will be conducted after school during the Activity Period on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Students should report directly to the teacher issuing the detention.

Classroom teacher detentions are issued for disturbances and infractions of classroom behavior guidelines as measured by the teacher's discretion and school policies.

When a student fails to serve a detention, the department supervisor should be notified by referral so that further action can be taken.
