Plagiarism: Plagiarism, cheating, and the use of any AI will not be tolerated.  Students caught plagiarizing, cheating, or trying to pass AI work as his/her own will receive a zero on the assignment, no opportunity for retake, and possible additional consequences. As stated in the Student Handbook, “academic integrity is foundational to effective learning at Eagleton College & Career Academy.  Academic integrity is expected when any and all assignments are submitted, including digital formats”.

Classwork: Based on the design of our curriculum, most work is to be completed in class. With this in mind, students should have more than enough time in which to complete assignments; therefore, students who are present for the majority of the class who actively choose not work on an assignment will not receive any extra time in which to complete the work; this may result in the final grade being a zero with no opportunity for a retake.

It is also Important for students to bear in mind that each assignment should be approached and completed as if it were for a grade even though not every assignment will be taken as a grade. This means taking all assignments seriously and completing them to the best of his/her ability. 

Late Work: Due to the amount of students enrolled in my classes and the amount of time given to work on assignments in class, no late work will be accepted. Should students need more time in which to complete assignments, students will be asked to complete an assignment extension request by the end of the period; however, this will be to my discretion and is not a guarantee. 

Make-Up Work: It is the responsibility of the students to check their class' folder for what notes or activities they missed while out. Should a student have questions regarding the work, it is his/her responsibility to reach out to me. Students will have a full calendar week (7 days) from the day he/she returns in which to complete any and all make-up work; any work after that will be considered late and not accepted. If, for whatever reason, this is not an adequate time frame in which to complete the work, the student is responsible for bringing it to my attention so that an alternative date can be set. 

Retakes: Depending on the nature of the assignment, students will be allowed one retake per assignment. Since students will only have one opportunity to achieve a better score, retakes should not be taken lightly and should be chosen and prepared for carefully. Due to their nature, certain assignments, such as essay planners, discussions, or essays, are not available for retake. Retakes will be scheduled every three to four weeks; once the retake date for a particular assignment has passed, it won't be available for retake again. 

Homework:

9th & 11th Grades: Should a student have homework, it is more than likely because he/she wasn't able to finish an assignment in class; however, intentional assigning of homework will be posted in Classroom and will be discussed in class before dismissal. 

9th Grade Honors: While students won't have homework every night, honors students should expect to complete certain assignments or projects outside of the classroom. Assignments or projects will be discussed ahead of time in class and posted to Classroom with reminders before they are due. 

• Have an open mind and a positive attitude. 

• Be on time and prepared.

• Bring a charged Chromebook and its charger every day; consistently dead Chromebooks will result in a citation. 

• Maintain a clean work environment; this includes keeping all personal items at your desk or as close to your desk as possible, cleaning up any messes you make (intentional or not), and being mindful that while you are only in my room for a limited amount of time, I'm there all day.

• Treat borrowed items or school materials with respect. 

• Use and navigate technology wisely; it is a privilege, not a right. 

Last, and most importantly...

• Treat everyone in your class with respect; not because they "earned it", but because they are people.
