Life is great when youre in control! Altamont operates effective student suspension policy Altamont High School has initiated an innovative means of disciplining students who are repeatedly tardy, or who sluff classes. Since the beginning of this school year, they have operdeated an after school, tention, replacing the traditional suspension from school. The detention was started for tardies, and later expanded to include shilling; explains Delyse Bellon, one of the teachers at Altamont who regulates the program. Three tardies in one class result in a visit to the office; with no more; the process ends there, with just a warning. But one more tardy results in two hours worth of suspension time, and the student is required to come as soon after school as possible. An additional tardy results in four hours of suspension, as does one truancy. The second sluff results in eight hours of detention. If the problems continue, the student would require stricter punishment, but Bellon says the policy has been working very well to cut down on both truancy and tardies. The teacher remains at school on Tuesdays and Thursdays to allow students to fulfill detention time. The students must utilise the time by completing school work; if they have none, the teacher on duty assigns some. Detention time starts when the student arrives, and they can only fulfill one two hour block per day, so the teacher isn't forced to spend entire evenings at the school. The supervising teacher is paid per hour for the extra time they put in during the detention. "The detention is really well, Bellon says, with the students working hard during the time allotted; in addition, both tardies and truancies are down since the program was begun.

CNCC students who cany 12 or more credit hours for a semester and earn a grade point average of 3.5 or better are elected to thia list This is an accomplishment in which these students can take pride. It is the product of their own labor. CNCC would like to recognise and congratulate these students for seeking high personal standards and achieving them. one of 49 students s' Uf A oi STUDENTS OF THE MONTH-Ju- lie Brough and Roger Burton were chosen as Students of the Month for December at Union High School paya the teachers wages. Dorcas Tuft, another teacher at Altamont High, trades evenings with Bellon. The detention time is being used effectively by other students, Bellon adds. Students who need to earn credits to graduate are allowed to use the time, with the benefit of teacher assistance. She points out one example of a boy who has missed a considerable amount of school for cancer treatment Through no fault of his own, his graduation was in jeopardy, but he can nowmake up credits by ' putting in extra time after school, and still graduate on time. The detention policy ends the inadvertent reward to students who want to be out of school, by suspending them from class and giving them exactly what they were looking for, says Bellon. The program appears to be a success, and current plans see it continued next year. ...
