Assemblies are planned during the school year to compliment and enhance the regular school program. Since an assembly brings a large group of students into a small area, certain expectations of courtesy are appropriate:

1. All students will move to the assembly accompanied by a teacher unless specific instructions have been given otherwise.

2. All students will sit by classes in the company of the teacher in charge.

3. Any loud behavior, socializing with a neighbor, or booing is discourteous to those on stage, and will not be tolerated.

4. Students are expected to understand the instructions for the assembly prior to entry, and to leave the auditorium in an orderly manner.

Instructions for classroom conduct and procedures to follow in each of the classes, the sports areas and the Learning Resource Center will be explained to the students at the beginning of the school year. The rules may vary as teachers are individual persons and may have different expectations and accept different kinds of behavior from their students. What each student has to do is recognize these differences and comply with them.

Detention is assigned by administrators as a result of a disciplinary action. It may be assigned before or after school. Students are expected to report to detention on time with appropriate materials. They are expected to use their time wisely. Failure to report on time or acting inappropriately during detention may result in additional detention days or further disciplinary action. Scheduling conflicts must be worked out in advance so that detentions can be rescheduled and served.

Teachers may assign and supervise their own detentions. Parents will be notified if their child receives detention.
