DETENTION POLICY
A teacher may assign a detention to any student for the violation of any school policy or procedure.
The teacher will notify the parents, in writing, of the offense and the time when detention will be
served.
SUSPENSION
Suspension is a disciplinary action taken by the school when all other means have failed to change
the student’s disregard for standard school procedures. Prior to the student’s re-entry to school a
parent conference may be required with the school administration.
In-school suspension is a disciplinary action used for continued minor infractions of school
regulations. Continued violations that are seriously disruptive to the learning environment will
result in suspensions from school.
