SAVE ROOM

The save room provides a safe place for students who have been removed from class or who have been sent to the main office by a staff member. Upon removal, teachers should call ‘2120’ to let the save room aide know that a student is on their way. Upon arrival, the save room aide will contact parents/guardian of the student, who will then explain why they have been removed from class.  This student will spend their time in the save room completing the assignments from the class they were removed from. If a student fails to make it to the save room they will be scheduled for a lunch detention the following day.  If A student is sent to the save room at least three times in a week they will be scheduled for a lunch detention.
