Attendance Policy
LCHS Attendance and Discipline Procedures
Lunch Detention: Lunch Detention is an existing attendance and discipline strategy employed for minor offenses. Students assigned to lunch detention are required to spend their lunch period in the ISS Room. Students who fail to attend Lunch Detention will be assigned additional consequences.
Night School: Night School (detention) is an existing attendance and discipline strategy at LCHS. Night School operates Tuesdays from 2:40 pm until 4:10 pm in a designated LCHS classroom and on Fridays from 12:00pm until 2:15pm in the ISS room. Students that are assigned Night School will not be admitted if arriving late and are expected to quietly study while in attendance. Additional consequences will result for any student who fails to attend or is asked to leave during Night School because of inappropriate behavior.
In-School Suspension: In-School Suspension is an existing strategy for students who have had a serious discipline or attendance infraction. Students will spend the entire day in the ISS room, which is located in the Attendance Office. Students will be required to study quietly and work on any school work that has been collected for the day. Students who are disruptive or have behavior issues will be suspended out of school.
Consequences for Attendance Issues:
Unexcused Absence (skipping): One Night School is assigned for each unexcused absence. Students that have repeated incidents of skipping may receive more severe consequences.
Tardies: Tardies are tracked on a weekly basis. Students receiving two or more tardies during a school-week will receive disciplinary consequences.
