All work will be turned in on Google Classroom
All work will be original. Using someone else’s work and claiming it as your own, even if unintentional, is considered academic dishonesty.
Plagiarism, copying, cheating, claiming someone else’s work as your own, and/or any other form of academic dishonesty may result in both academic and disciplinary repercussions at the discretion of the teacher. AI is also considered plagiarism. Therefore, all essays and writings will be checked for AI usage and infiltration. All school policies will be followed in regards to academic dishonesty.
Students must cite sources and use quotation marks appropriately. Students suspected of plagiarism will receive reduced points on the assignment and are expected to conference with the teacher and/or guardian before the assignment will be recorded for a grade. If a student violates these guidelines, they will face the following consequences:
1st offense: Following the teacher conference, the student will be allowed to redo the assignment, receive a warning, and guardian(s) may be contacted.
2nd offense: Following the teacher conference, the student will be allowed to redo the assignment for a maximum grade of 70%. The student will receive a formal second warning, an administrative note in Intellispark, and the guardian(s) will be contacted.
3rd offense: Following teacher, guardian, student, and administrator conference, the student will receive a zero for the assignment and a formal administrative referral.
Students and guardians should be aware that a teacher will reach out regarding a student’s coursework if there is a question of academic integrity. These conversations are not meant to be an accusation, but rather an opportunity for students to discuss the process of completing the assignment and demonstrate mastery of the concept.
If a meeting/conference is requested regarding plagiarism, the assignment grade will not be finalized until after it has occurred.
