In-school suspension

In-school suspension (ISS), sometimes known as "in-house suspension", is an alternative setting that removes students from the classroom for a period of time, while still allowing students to attend school and complete their work. This form of punishment is used often because a student who is given an out of school suspension is not obligated to wake up to attend school. Generally, a student assigned to in-school suspension spends the entire day in the designated ISS location, completing work submitted in advance by the student's teachers, while being monitored by school staff.

One variation of in-school suspension requires the student to arrive at school at a designated time on a Saturday to serve out their punishment, rather than miss class time during the week. This type of punishment is commonly referred to as "Saturday School", though it may go under other names as well (note that "Saturday School" may also refer to the academic detention which may take place at the weekend).
