Discipline Reminder:
Just a reminder to students serving discipline - if you have assigned discipline, you must serve a full 30-minute AM or PM detention in rooms #13 for morning detention and #14 for PM detention. If you have more than 1 detention assigned, you can pre-arrange to serve a full 30-minute detention with a teacher if they have work for you to help them with and you must work for a full 30 minutes. Lunch detentions will give you credit for 15 minutes so that you will have time to get lunch prior to reporting.
