Detention When a teacher assigns a student detention, the following steps are taken:
Assignment of Detention
1. Teacher completes a Detention Notice form, which is sent home for parent / guardian signature. Alternatively, the teacher may email or call the parents / guardians to notify them about the detention. The reason for the assignment of detention and the date and time of detention are noted on the form, and / or may be relayed through email or phone communication. 2. After the Detention Notice form is signed and returned to the teacher( or confirmed via email or phone call), the student serves the detention.
3. Detention is served on Tuesday mornings from 8:00 a. m. to 8:45 a. m. or on Thursdays from 4:30 p. m. to 5:15 p. m.

Students are expected to complete all work while in ISS. Students who are serving ISS are required to adhere to school dress code and all school policies.
