Detention Period (See also DISCIPLINARY POLICIES: Saturday Detention, p. 33)
The detention period is conducted daily. The period begins promptly at 2:35 p.m. and ends at 3:05 p.m. A student who has received a detention is to serve it the next day. Any exceptions to this are to be cleared with the Office of the Assistant Principal of Men or Women on the morning of the day the detention is to be served. No one is to presume a postponement; it must be obtained personally each time. Failure to report for the detention period when expected is punishable by issuance of a double detention. The original detention as well as the double detention must be served. Failure to serve these detentions will result in a suspension.
Detention Period Procedures
Students serving detentions are to report to the detention room with pencil/pen and paper. They are not to bring books, jackets, school bags, etc. All school rules are in effect, including dress code. On entering the room, students are to take a seat in the front of the room and put their signed detention stub on top of their desk. The desks in the row along the windows are not to be used. Those who come late for detention automatically receive an additional detention. Students are to remain silent from the time they enter the detention room until they are dismissed by the proctor.
Students who do not return a signed detention stub will receive another detention and must return the original stub to the Assistant Principal of Men or Women the next morning. Failure to do so will result in the student serving the detention again.
Disciplinary Probation
If the Discipline Review Board, upon reviewing a student's records, recommends placing the student on probation, the Assistant Principal of Men or Women will notify the parents by letter of this condition. Students who are suspended for any reason are automatically placed on probation. A student who is placed on probation remains so for at least one full semester or until notified of his/her removal from probation. At the end of each semester the Discipline Review Board reviews all students who are on probation. Students whose behavior has not improved may be continued on probation or dismissed from Padua. A student who is placed on probation if suspended again may be immediately dismissed from Padua. Students on disciplinary probation may be restricted from extracurricular activities at the discretion of the moderator or the administration.
Dismissal
A student who exhibits poor behavior over an extended period of time is subject to dismissal at the recommendation of the Discipline Review Board and the concurrence of the Principal. In addition, a student who is on probation and receives a suspension is subject to dismissal. Any unlawful or dangerous act taking place on the school property or at a school sponsored function not only makes the student subject to civil penalties but also could result in suspension or dismissal from school.
