Many schools have specific policies in place for handling ISS (In-School Suspension) or detentions during Finals week to ensure that students can focus on their exams while still maintaining accountability for their behavior. Here are some common practices:
Postponement of ISS/Detentions: Some schools may choose to postpone any ISS or detention assignments until after Finals week. This helps minimize distractions, allowing students to concentrate on their exams.
Alternative Arrangements: In some cases, schools might provide alternative arrangements for students serving ISS or detentions. For instance, students may be required to complete their assignments in a separate location, but still have the opportunity to study for their finals.
Flexible Scheduling: Schools might adjust the schedules for ISS or detention to accommodate students’ final exam times. This could include holding these sessions at different times to ensure students aren’t pulled away from important study periods or exam sessions.
Support Services: Some schools may offer support services during Finals week for students in ISS or detention, giving them access to resources or tutoring to help them succeed academically.
It’s always best to check with your specific school’s administration for their policies during this critical time. How does your school approach it?
