English term or phrase: remandment

The end of this student's remandment is scheduled to end (date). I am requesting that he be allowed to return to his school of zone on (date) so that he will be able to begin the (next) semester with his schoolmates.

This is part of a letter requesting early release from an alternative school where students who have been expelled from school can continue their education, at a school with stricter rules, etc. They arrive each a.m and are searched for weapons, etc., and they leave each p.m. It is not a jail or detention center. So I think the word "condena" might be too strong for "remandment." I didn't find it in the dictionary.

I thought about sanción but wasn't sure if it would be accurate enough. It seems to be the only one that fits, though. Thanks.

Explanation:
Notice:
While expulsión means that the student has to leave school, reprobación means the he/she has failed a course.

Example sentence(s):

Alumno fue expulsado tras insultar a una profesora por Facebook
ALUMNO FUE REPROBADO Y LE PEGó TROMPADA A PROFESORA

Asker: Thanks for replying. But no, because a suspended student could also be remanded. And this isn't talking about a failed grade, but rather "tolerance zero" or other unacceptable conduct.

internado en correccional de menores/ reformatorio

Explanation:
Esto puede explicar bien de qué se trata la palabra "remandment", aún siendo un poco largo.

Reformatorio ya no se usa tanto, tal vez por resultar un poco fuerte.

Espero que ayude
