After School Detention Expectations

Detention is a tool Douglas High School utilizes to change student behavior. Therefore, students are expected to follow these guidelines during after school detention:

Behavior. Students are expected to work on homework or read a book during all detentions. You are to remain seated in a chair and quiet. Students are not allowed to sit on tables or desks. Students are not allowed to play with other students (or teacher’s) personal belongings. You are not allowed to visit. You should be working for the entire detention period. Students must follow all school rules, including dress code.

If you are uncooperative or defiant you may be asked to leave, immediately. If you refuse an administrator or SRO will be notified immediately. A referral will follow.

If you miss an assigned detention you will be given a referral for missed after school detention.

Douglas High School

Thought for the day: Twixt optimist and pessimist the difference is droll; the optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist the hole. ---Mclandburgh Wilson
