Each student should have his/her classroom assignments or other work before entering detention hall.  A school board employee will supervise the detention hall at all times.    The rules and guidelines listed below will apply to morning detention:

1. Morning Detention begins at 6:30AM. Students must be in the main office before 6:30 AM.  Students reporting late to detention will not be allowed to attend and are considered skipping detention.
2. Students must bring appropriate study materials (textbooks, dictionaries, notebooks, pens, etc.)  Students are not allowed to visit their lockers before or during detention. Newspapers and magazines are not to be used unless they are directly related to an academic assignment.
3. Students are not allowed to talk, sleep, eat, drink, exchange personal notes or engage in any otherwise inappropriate behavior while in detention. 
4. Students may not bring any type of food or drink to detention.
5. Students are not allowed to leave detention after 6:30AM to visit the restroom or the water fountain.  If a student leaves detention without an administrator's permission, they will not be allowed to return.
6. Students are expected to adhere to all Code of Conduct rules including dress code, while in detention.
7. Students will enter the building and report to the main office upon arrival for detention.  Because the hours of detention are 6:30-7:30 AM, students may not arrive prior to 6:15 AM.
8. Students are not allowed to make-up tests or visit teachers during detention.
9. Students who break any of these or any other Jefferson County Code of Conduct rule will be asked to leave, the detention time will not be counted and further disciplinary action will be taken.
10. Students who do not attend assigned detention must have a doctor's excuse for the day of the detention or they will face additional disciplinary action for Defiance.
11. Detention may be rescheduled one time IF arrangements are made by the parent prior to the day of assigned detention. 
12. Parents should note that as morning detention is scheduled outside the regular school day, the school office is not staffed nor are the phones monitored.  Calling the school and leaving a message IN NO WAY relieves the student of the detention.  Furthermore, sending a written note to school after detention has been missed IN NO WAY relieves the student of the detention.
