It is our expectation that students take
responsibility for their learning and experience the pride that
accompanies academic achievement. This ensures a positive learning
environment that emphasizes intellectual integrity.
Plagiarism/Cheating impedes a student’s academic progress and
compromises the trust between teacher and student which is
fundamental to the learning process.
Plagiarism: Submitting work done (in
whole or part) by others as if it were one’s own.
Cheating: Using unauthorized
information, notes, aids or technological devices to gain unfair
advantage.
Consequences for Plagiarism/Cheating
Category I: Graded
Projects/Research/Presentations/ScienceLabs/Tests/Quizzes/Exams/Essays
1st
Offense: Warning with maximum half credit on alternate
test/assignment/lab/essay for all parties involved. For example, if
the original assignment is being graded on 100% and the student
earned an 80%; the student’s grade would be 40%.
Parent called by
teacher and documentation sent to department administrator
2nd
Offense: 0% - All parties involved will receive a grade of zero or
zero credit for the assignment.
Parent called by
teacher and a conference held with department administrator,
teacher, parent and student
3rd
Offense: Administrative Hearing
Category II:
Homework: Consequences are left to the teacher’s discretion.
Students will be given the
opportunity to discuss a violation with their teacher and/or
department administrator for both Category I and II offenses.
Progression of offenses will be implemented concurrently across all
departments. For example, an infraction in English would qualify as
the first offense, a subsequent offense in social studies
constitutes a second offense and an additional offense in math would
be the third offense.
