🚨 Attention Parents: Important update for Afton Public Schools 🚨
Starting Tuesday, January 6, 2026 (the day we return from Christmas break), after-school detention will resume. Please take a moment to review the policy below so you and your student know what to expect. If you have questions or concerns, reach out to your child’s teacher or the school office.
Detention
Detention hall will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:20 pm to 3:50 pm. Students must report to detention on time and have pencil and paper. Student must serve their detention on the assigned day. If a student has an excused absence on the assigned day, they simply make it up on the next assigned date. Any deviation from this policy will be at the principal’s discretion.
Exceptions are not made to fit the student’s schedule. If a student has a detention assigned on a day of a school activity in which they are involved, they cannot go to the activity if it falls during their detention time. If a student is not excused and missed detention, he/she will be placed on the severe clause and will receive two additional detentions.
When a student receives a detention for a school discipline problem, it becomes the responsibility of the student, parent or guardian to provide transportation home. Detentions are assigned on the detention day following the infraction.
When a student accumulates three (3) served or unserved detentions per semester, the student will serve one (1) day In School Suspension. When a student accumulates five (5) served or unserved detentions per semester, the student will receive three (3) days In School Suspension, date will be determined by administration. When a student accumulates seven (7) served or unserved detentions per semester, three (3) days out of school suspension may be assigned. When a student accumulates nine (9) served or unserved detentions per semester, student may be suspended from school for a period up to five (5) days. This suspension will not eliminate the unserved detentions, which have been accumulated by the student. Alternative discipline options may be at the discretion of the principal.
