Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty
is the purposeful reproduction of material that was not
created by yourself. This
includes copying homework,
copying internet material
without properly citing it,
cheating on tests/quizzes, or
taking credit for work you
did not perform.
This is a serious
crime and is considered
plagiarism, which is punished harshly in the
world.
Consequences of breaking
Academic Dishonesty are as
following.
1st offense: a conference with
me and half credit.
2nd offense: a call home and
zero credit.
3rd offense: results in a parent
teacher conference and office
referral.

Materials
Folders
I will have a folder in my classroom with every students name on
it, this is where I will communicate
with the students and hand back all
assignments. This is also where you
will turn in all assignments that are
not in the Springboard textbook.
When turning in work you will need
to turn it in standing up so I can see
that stuff has been turned in. will
have the folders divided by classes
and they will be located in colored
crates.
I will use these folders to easily
keep track of turned in work, this is
also where you will turn in all absent or late work with the correct
slip attached.
Students will need to have all of these materials each and everyday in order to be successful. Please let me know if there are any
issues in acquiring these items so I can make
correct accommodations.
