ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Round Rock High School is a comprehensive learning environment that presents students with a wide range of learning opportunities. The success of our learning environment depends on the good will and serious purpose of students, teachers, administrators, and parents. Securing the right of all students to learn in an honest environment characterized by academic integrity requires that we clearly define the expectations for honorable behavior and the serious consequences for dishonest academic performance.
Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to:
Copying the work of others or allowing others to copy your work, including unauthorized collaboration on homework; asking about, sharing, or receiving questions, answers, or other information pertaining to tests or quizzes;
possession or attempted possession of tests, quizzes, or other teacher materials without permission; “cheat sheets” of any type in any form (i.e., answers, formula, data, or other information that can be used without the teacher’s knowledge during a graded assessment); use of private communication concerning graded assessments by any means, including electronic and telecommunication devices, gestures, sign language, talking, leaving the room, etc.; sabotaging the work of others; organized attempts to subvert the goals, purposes, or design of lessons; unauthorized use of on-line language translators.
Consequences of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:
The student receives a grade of “0” on the assignment and is granted the opportunity to complete an alternative assignment for a maximum grade of 60; OR the student is assigned academic interventions designed to improve the student’s understanding of the material being assessed AND completion of an assessment over that material for a maximum grade of 60.
The teacher notifies parents or guardians.
The teacher completes a referral form and turns it into the student’s assistant principal; the record remains in the student’s file.
The student is assigned a consequence.
Additional consequences that may be assigned:
The student may be denied membership or be declared ineligible for organization activities, put on probation, or expelled from student organizations as stated in the organizations handbook.
Actions that involve collusion and/or theft of tests or teaching materials may result in suspension or other disciplinary actions to be determined by the building principal.
