DETENTIONS
Students will be issued detentions for various rule infractions not warranting stronger disciplinary action. All school personnel may issue one detention for each instance of student misbehavior. Multiple detentions for a single infraction may be issued by the administration. Should a student be assigned more than five detentions over the course of the year, which is a repeated violation of the Code of Conduct, Rule A, they may receive progressive discipline for each detention received; the student would not also serve the detention with the progressive discipline. The discipline for students refusing to serve detentions is progressive and follows the following format:
1st Unserved Detention: 2-day In-School Assignment
2nd Unserved Detention: 3-day In-School Assignment
3rd Unserved Detention: 4-day In-School Assignment
4th Unserved Detention and after: Progressive Discipline up to 10-Day Out-of-School Suspension with recommendation for expulsion.
A single detention is 30 minutes long. ALL detentions must be served. If a student fails to show up for a detention, progressive discipline may be issued.
Detentions may be served before school from 7:15 to 7:45, and after school from 2:50 to 3:20 in the Media Center, or Attendance Office. Students will normally be given the option of when they will serve their detention, morning or afternoon. However, the administration reserves the option to assign students to morning or afternoon detentions.
DRIVING PERMIT
School Board policy permits only licensed motor vehicles to operate on school property. The operation of licensed vehicles is restricted to the driveways and designated student parking areas. All student vehicles must be registered with the office. The Parking permit cost is $30.00. The school cannot assume responsibility for the driver, his/her passengers, or his/her vehicle. However, driving a motor vehicle to school and parking on campus is a privilege, not a right, first accorded to our seniors, second to juniors and then sophomores based on parking space availability. Any student who purchases a driving permit will also be required to take part in the random drug testing policy.
