Detension Guidelines

Disciplinary Consequences

Any staff member can recommend detention to the Principal or Vice Principal. Detention may be assigned after school and on the weekends. Students who receive more than five (5) detention notices per semester will be placed on conduct probation. Detention will not be rescheduled to accommodate for extra-curricular activities (i.e. athletics, student activities, etc.), or any non-essential family matters. Reasons for rescheduling detention will be reviewed and approved by administration on a case by case basis.

Detention will be broken down into three (3) different categories: Academic, Dress Code Infractions and Inappropriate Behavior. Examples of the following include, but are not limited to:

Academic

Academic Consequence

Dress Code Infractions (Needs to be served within 5 days of receiving detention)

*Lunch Dish Room Duty

Students who have earned dress code detention notices will be placed on lunch dish room duty list each Friday. Students on the list will be required to work during their free lunch period beginning the following Monday through Thursday in the Keawe Dining Hall to any task assigned to them by administration or the Dining Hall staff. The list will be posted during lunch each Friday at the Keawe Dining Hall, Student Activities Center, Counseling Center and Learning Center.

Appeals Process

Once a decision has been made by the principal, it will usually be communicated to the parent first verbally and then with a written, follow-up letter. Once the decision has been communicated, the parent has ten (10) working days to appeal that decision to the Headmaster in writing. Only disciplinary decisions by the principal that result in a release may be appealed to the Headmaster. All other disciplinary decisions by the principal that result in consequences less than that standard may not be appealed.

Appeals must be based on one or more of the following specific factors:

Once the written appeal has been received, the Headmaster will review the information gathered by the principal (or designee). If the Headmaster determines that there are sufficient grounds for the appeal, a time will be scheduled for the Headmaster to meet with parent(s), student, and if determined necessary by the Headmaster, with the principal. If there are insufficient grounds for the appeal, the Headmaster will notify the parent(s) in writing.

After the scheduled meeting, the Headmaster will render a final decision of the appeal in writing to the family and principal as soon as practical. The decision by the Headmaster is final and not reviewable.
