When a staff member puts a pupil in a detention there is a 'Work Set' field to enter work the student needs to do in the detention. Please can that 'Work Set' field be added to the notification e-mail that the pupils receive?
The staff member taking the detention will not know what work has been set for any/all pupils so to have that information sent to the pupil in advance would be useful
Control Panel > E-Mail Manager > Outbound E-Mail Templates: Manage E-Mail Templates > Discipline Manager ...
The merge field that you need to use in the template to output that is <!--WorkSet-->
