Students - Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) or copying word for word and not giving credit to the person who wrote the article may be considered plagiarizing or cheating. Edison teachers are becoming very aware of new ways students are "cutting corners". If you cheat and get caught you can be penalized and may lose credit for the course. If this happens, ACES may no longer be an option. Have questions? Make sure you ask.

HOW TO REPORT THREATS/CONCERNS
HOW TO REPORT THREATS/CONCERNS
OK2SAY is the student safety program which allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, and schools. It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment.
PEER MEDIATION
AHS now has trained student peer mediators to help solve conflicts between students! If you are in conflict with another student, please see me in Room E110 or you can e-mail me at robargeb@alpenaschools.com Remember, peer mediators are trained not to take sides or place blame on anyone.
