From the "Student Rights/Responsibilities Handbook": 

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY/ CHEATING/ PLAGIARISM 

Students are expected to engage in ethical academic practices. Students found engaging in dishonest academic practices shall receive no credit on assignments completed by unethical means; are unable to retake or resubmit said assignment for credit; and depending on the nature and scope of the offense will be issued detention(s) by their teacher and possibly subject to informal or formal discipline per administrative discretion. In the case of appeal from a student, instructors must provide evidence to administration to substantiate a student violation of Howland High School academic dishonesty policy. The policy on academic dishonesty pertains to all subjects, including tests, quizzes, homework, projects and all academic work in and out of the classroom. The following list provides examples of actions that are considered academic dishonesty: 

● Submitting another student’s or author’s work as one’s own 

● Copying another student’s homework or course materials intended for individual student completion 

● Using online or outside resources for completion of assignment without expressed permission of an instructor 

● Sharing information about assessment contents with other students 

● Facilitating academic dishonesty by providing other students with your work to copy or submit as their own 

● Using “cheat sheets” or other aids (including electronic retrieval) on assessments *Students enrolled in College Credit Plus courses may face additional punishment based on the respective college’s academic standards policies. *Other conduct violations not specified in the list above may also fall under the context of and be considered Academic Dishonesty. 

Tips for students to avoid these situations: 

● Have positive and consistent dialogue with your instructor about materials being used for preparation and/or completion of assignments and assessments. 

● If you are accessing material through an outside source other than resources provided by your instructor, seek advice or permission about the validity of the source prior to use. 

HOMEWORK 

Per our District Homework policy, students should expect about 30 minutes of homework per night, 150 minutes of homework per week, in a core content area. 

Homework is to be turned in on the day assigned by the teacher. All teachers have a website with posted assignments. If a student is absent from school, the student can go to the website to get his/her assignments.
