Removal from Class
When all reasonable and usual appeals to a student have failed to bring about a student's conformity to a teacher's request for cooperation in the classroom, the student may be suspended from class. The student may be removed from class for the rest of the term. If the student is permanently removed from the class, all credit for the class will be lost and an F will be computed for that semester.
Saturday Detention
For those offenses that warrant a more serious response than a detention, but are not grave enough to warrant a suspension and probation a Saturday detention will be issued. The penalty for a Saturday detention is to spend two hours in school on the first detention Saturday following the Saturday detention notification. Students are to report to the detention room by 9:00 a.m. Tardiness will not be tolerated. Students are to dress according to the dress code and are to bring writing instruments and paper.
