Students must follow school rules and exert effort toward academic achievement.  Teachers have the responsibility for providing clear expectations and consistent consequences while teaching students how to conduct themselves well in school.
           
If a student breaks a rule, s/he earns a lunch detention. If a student earns lunch detention, she or he fills out the detention slip with his or her name, the date, the name of the teacher who assigned detention and the reason or reasons why s/he earned detention.  The student reports to the lunch detention section of the lunchroom, at the beginning of the lunch period, before the bell.  The student signs in on the attendance sheet. The student sits silently. Students will be released to get their lunches when there is no line or after ten minutes, whichever comes first.
           
After successfully completing lunch detention, the detention teacher will sign the detention slip.  The student must return the signed detention slip to the teacher who assigned detention in order to be done with detention.

The purpose of detention is to change behaviors.  If a student is assigned detention for the same reasons repeatedly or if a student does not attend detentions, the consequence will be supplemented by movement on the referral ladder.
