Any acts of intellectual dishonesty, such as having someone else complete work, or plagiarizing a source will not be tolerated. On the first infraction, the student will receive a 0 on the assignment and the teacher will notify the student, parent, and home school via email, informing them that if the student plagiarizes again, he/she may be withdrawn from the course with an F. If a second act of plagiarism is committed, the teacher will first contact the GCVSP administration. Then, the teacher will notify the student that he/she may be withdrawn from the course with an F (Withdrawn Failing = WF). The teacher is responsible for communicating with the student, parent, and home school via email regarding these decisions. The GCVSP administration may review and withdraw the student from the course with an F for a violation deemed appropriate for course removal, including but not limited to, academic integrity or student conduct violations. The student may not take another course during the academic school year in which the violation occurred.
