Academic Integrity
All work that you submit must be your own work. You may not do any of the following:
- Turn in or copy someone else’s work.
- Copy someone’s work and change a few of the words.
- Copy words from a source without citing it and giving credit to the source.
- Attempt to use any notes on a closed-note assignment.
- Look at someone else’s work during a quiz, test, or otherwise individual assessment.
If you are doing any of the above or anything else that constitutes cheating, you will receive a zero on the assignment, your parents/guardians will be called, and you will be referred to administration for disciplinary action.
Additional Classroom Information
Cell phones are to be completely out of view and silent unless we are working on an instructional activity that permits cell phone usage. I will let you know when cell phones can be in use during class. If cell phones are not needed for what we are doing in class but I see them or hear them, I will confiscate them.
Offense #1: We will have a conversation and I will remind you to put the phone away.
Offense #2: I will confiscate the phone and return it to you at the end of class.
Offense #3: I will confiscate the phone, turn it in to the Main Office, and your parent/guardian will have to pick it up from school.
Offense #4: Parent phone call and discipline referral.
Please refrain from leaving class during the first and/or last 10 minutes of class.
You may bring a clear water bottle to class.
