Detentions

Detention hours may have been assigned to students by school staff for various infractions of school policies.  Hours may also be auto-assigned to students based on attendance issues (such as: 15 minutes detention per tardy, 1 hour detention per class missed, or 4 hours detention for missing multiple classes, leaving early without permission, or arriving to school significantly late).  Please note that hours accumulate from year to year, so, hours may have rolled over from the previous school year(s) as well.  

 

How many detention hours do I have?

  • Log in to your student Aeries account

    • Select “guidance”

    • Select “demerits” - the number listed in demerits is the number of detention hours owed.  For example: “3.5” would mean 3 ½ hours of detention owed.
