__SUSPENSION__

Suspension may be given as a result of disciplinary action. Suspension is the prohibiting by a school principal (or assistant principal) of a student from attending classes or school for any period short of expulsion. Out of school suspensions are not to exceed 10 (continuous) days for one incident or 10 (cumulative) days during one school year without a formal hearing. Suspensions may be in or out of school. Students are expected to make up all work missed during their suspension. Make up policy is the same as for an excused absence.

__ZERO TOLERANCE__
DoDDS / DoDEA has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy on drugs, alcohol and weapons (real or not). Students possessing any of these items at school or at school-sponsored activities will be expelled from school for the remainder of the semester or school year.
