Copenhagen Central School - Math: Algebra 1 Overview
Family involvement is an essential element for a student’s success in mathematics. Be positive and support homework, don’t do it for them. Think of yourself as a guide rather than your child’s teacher. You can help by asking questions and listening. You may also help by visiting the online resources and encouraging your child to take advantage of the tutorials, interactive activities, and other online resources.

A student will be expected to take notes during class. Once every five weeks, an open notebook evaluation will be done to determine a student's notebook grade.
Participation
A student's participation grade will be a combination of a student's willingness to participate in the classroom and of a student's effort and note taking through each lesson .
Student Absences
A student who is absent from class is responsible for all material missed during that day. This material includes notes, homework, worksheets, and tests. For an assignment that is due the day of absence, the student will be expected to hand it in the next class. If a student is absent on a day of a test or quiz, he/she will be expected to make up the test on the next class day.

Academic Honesty Policy
Students are expected to demonstrate honesty and integrity while in attendance at Copenhagen Central High School. Each student is expected to do his or her own work. This includes test taking, homework, class assignments and the original creation of essays, compositions, term papers and scientific research. All work submitted by students should be a true reflection of their effort and ability.
The following are considered cheating: Claiming credit for work not the product of one’s own honest effort. Students should be prepared to share with the teacher the resources they used to generate their work (for example, written passages, essays, Google slides, projects, and the like). Providing access to materials or information so that credit may be dishonestly claimed by others. Sharing work with another student or assisting him/her to obtain another’s work unless permitted by the teacher. Accessing electronic devices, such as cell phones or smart devices, during a test. Taking pictures or screenshots of questions on a test. Any behavior, which can be defined as cheating, represents a violation of mutual trust and respect essential to education at Copenhagen Central High School. Students who cheat should expect to be confronted by their teacher and be subject to the following penalties: Zero on the assignment or test. Notification of parents. Establishment of a cheating record in the student's file until graduation. Let's make some things clear... The underlying assumption in all schoolwork is each student does his or her own work. The teacher is not required to tell the students each time that they are to work alone. If teachers choose, they may give permission for students to work together, but this is the exception.
Schoolwork The rule is simple: Academic honesty requires that work submitted by the student be his or her own work. If other persons contribute to the work, they must be given credit for their contribution. If contributors are not cited, the student has cheated. Students who quote or paraphrase from sources such as books, periodicals, the internet, interviews, other students, etc. must cite the source of the material. Failure to cite sources is called plagiarism.
Tests, Quizzes During or before tests or quizzes any attempt to discover answers from others or by using "cheat sheets", cell phones or any other means is cheating.
Artifical Intellingence (AI) Acceptable Use Policy This Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) outlines the guidelines and rules for the appropriate and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by high school students at l.. AI is a powerful tool that can offer numerous educational benefits and opportunities for personal growth. However, it must be used responsibly, ethically. By using AI technologies, students agree to abide by the rules and principles set forth in this policy. AI is not a substitute for schoolwork that requires original thought. Students may not claim AI generated content as their own work. The use of AI to take tests, complete assignments, create multimedia projects, write papers, or complete schoolwork without permission of a teacher or administrator is strictly prohibited. The use of AI for these purposes constitutes cheating or plagiarism. In certain situations, AI may be used as a learning tool or a study aid. Students who wish to use AI for legitimate educational purposes must have permission from a teacher or an administrator. Students may use AI as authorized in their Individualized Education Program (IEP). Students may not use AI, including AI image or voice generator technology, to violate school rules. In order to ensure academic integrity, tests, assignments, projects, papers, and other schoolwork may be checked by AI content detectors and/or plagiarism recognition software
