TO OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS: - North Hunterdon-Voorhees ...

EXTENDED AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION
In an effort to impress upon students the importance of following school rules, and yet not to penalize them
by removal from classes, an Extended Detention Program will be held each Monday, Wednesday, and
Thursday from 2:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. Students must report to the Supervised Detention room on time
and be prepared to study quietly.
RULES FOR EXTENDED DETENTION
1) Report to the assigned room
2) Extended Detention begins at 2:30 p.m. and ends at 5:30 p.m.
3) Sign in with person supervising the room.
4) Bring work or appropriate reading material with them.
5) If you are out ill on the day assigned are expected to make up the day on the next scheduled
extended detention day.
6) Detentions will only be rescheduled with administrative approval. If an emergency arises,
students are expected to make up the detention on the next scheduled detention day. A note
from a parent explaining the need to reschedule is required.
7) The cutting of extended detention will result in increased discipline explained below.
� CUT EXTENDED DETENTION – AUTOMATICALLY TWO EXTENDED
DETENTIONS.
� CUT ONE OF THE ABOVE ASSIGNED TWO EXTENDED DETENTIONS-
SUSPENSION
IF ASKED TO LEAVE AN ASSIGNED EXTENDED DETENION, OR IF REFUSED ADMITTANCE
BECAUSE OF LATE ARRIVAL, THE STUDENT WILL BE REFERRED TO THE ADMINISTRATOR
FOR INCREASED DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
SUSPENSION
Most suspensions are an indication that the school is seeking parental involvement, responsibility and
cooperation in effecting change in that student’s behavior patterns.
Upon suspension, it is the responsibility of the student/parent to notify the student’s guidance counselor
with a request for class assignments. These assignments should be completed during the suspension period.
Parents who follow this prescribed procedure will make this disciplinary measure a learning experience.
Students’ that are placed on suspension are prohibited from the school grounds for any reason.
MAKE UP WORK
Any student absent from classes for any reason INCLUDING SUSPENSION WILL BE REQUIRED TO
MAKE UP ALL WORK MISSED. The school believes that the student being disciplined should be given
the opportunity to maintain his academic standing. However, it is the responsibility of the student to
contact each teacher regarding make up work. Failure to make up work could affect your final grade.
SEARCH OF STUDENT PROPERTY
The Board is aware that a balance must be made to weigh the constitutional rights of students (as described
in the Fourth Amendment) against the need for school officials to maintain order and discipline.
The Principal and/or designees may conduct a search if he/she has reasonable grounds for suspecting that
the intended search will reveal evidence that the student has violated or is violating, either the law or the
rules of the school. The scope of the search shall be reasonably related to the objectives of the search and
not excessively intrusive in the light of the age and sex of the student and the nature of the suspected
infraction.
Students are permitted to go to their lockers only during class changes. Seniors, however, may go to their
lockers (by the mall) if they choose to spend G.A.I.N. time in the mall or cafeteria. STUDENTS ARE
