Saturday Detention Guidelines

What is Saturday school detention? The requiring of a student to remain outside of normal school hours as a disciplinary action or because of some misbehavior on the part of the student.

Why is the detention process necessary? The detention process exists for the purpose of holding a student accountable for their misbehavior/non-adherence to school rules.

What rationale exists for Saturday school detention? 

1. Sports and activities are abundant at the high school and can be a hindrance to a student getting a detention served during the school week.
2. Student/parent accountability for misbehavior. A Saturday time frame allows for students who have multiple detentions to serve them accordingly.
3. School manageability. This process is more easily managed by administration/detention monitors.
4. Transportation issues. Families can take a more active role in making sure their student is able to serve detention. Parent/student work conflicts are minimized.

Times for students to serve Saturday detention occurs on designated Saturdays and runs from 8:00am - 12:00pm. School transportation to and from Saturday school detention will not be provided.

Time/Process for Saturday school detentions: When a student is issued a detention, they will have two Saturdays to clear their time. All students must report to the Saturday school detention room by 8:00am. Students will then stay the required number of hours. Late students will not be admitted to Saturday school. Failure to serve detention will result in suspension from school.
