What is detention?

Detention is assigned by the classroom teacher with 2 days advanced notice.
When a student receives detention he or she must report to Mrs. Pulcastro in 
W101. The student must arrive by 7:30a.m. and stay until 
8:00a.m. I will occasionally sign lunch detention if necessary. During this 
time the student can make-up work and get needed help.
