Detention List
Students assigned a discipline referral for a detention through the tardy tracking functionality will display on the Detention List. The scheduled job "Create Detentions from Tardies" will also create detentions based on tardy thresholds for tardies entered manually by teachers or office staff. Students who receive a non-tardy detention will display on the Detention List, as well. Students who have served their detention can be marked as Completed, which will update the action logging field on the referral. The Action Record Notes will update with the date(s) the detention(s) were served. The Days Completed will increment by 1 for each day of detention that was completed. The Date Begins and Date Ends will also be updated based on the date(s) the detention was served.
The Detention List is year-specific. Ensure the school year you want to view is selected at the top of the screen.
1. In the menu, click Reports > Discipline > Detention List.
Students who have a pending detention are displayed, along with their current Grade Level, the Referral Reason (discipline code), the Action that was assigned, the Record Action Note from the referral (if any), the Detention Period from the referral (if any), the Assigned date, the Due date, the Length of Action, and the Days Completed. The Due date is highlighted in red if it has passed.
Click the student's name or student ID to open the referral in another tab via Students > Referrals.
2. To mark a detention as completed, select the Completed check box for the applicable student.
3. Click Save.
For students with a 1 day detention (Length of Action equals 1), the Days Completed field will update to 1. The Completed field will populate with today's date. Once the screen is refreshed, the student is removed from the list.
For students with a multi-day detention (Length of Action is greater than 1), the Completed field will populate with today's date. Days Completed field will increment by 1. When the screen is refreshed, the student will remain on the Detention List until the Days Completed equals the Length of Action.
To mark the entire list of students as completed, click Check/Uncheck All at the top of the screen to select all the Completed check boxes, and click Save.
1. In the menu, click Reports > Discipline > Detention List.
2. Select the Show Completed check box at the top of the screen.
The list is updated to include completed detentions. The Completed column displays the date the detention was marked as completed. Any detentions that have not been completed have the check box in the Completed column.
Teachers with the "Add Detention" profile permission have the ability to add a detention for a student. You will select the student, date, discipline code, and action. Only discipline codes associated with "Detention" actions will be available for selection, and only actions set up as "Detention" will be available for selection. Upon finalizing the detention, the student will be added to the Detention List, and a discipline referral will be created for the student.

2. At the top of the screen, click Add Detention.
