How do I serve my detention?

•Students are expected to serve detentions on their own and will not be picked up by staff members.

• Students who do not serve their detention may face further disciplinary action

• Students may serve their detentions during lunch or after school.

If students do not serve their detention willingly, they will not have the option to serve the next day.

Next day detentions can not be served during lunch.

Where do I serve my detention?

This is an incentive to serve a shorter detention. Students who wish to serve a detention during lunch should report directly to the detention room. They will be offered a bag lunch until the lunches run out.

Students will serve a detention after school in a designated room. Students will report to the detention room on their own.

The attendance office is located in Room 137
