The Owen J. Roberts Middle School expects all students to maintain the highest level of academic integrity. Cheating occurs when a student has taken another’s ideas, writing, or work and submits it as his/her own. Examples of cheating include talking during an assessment, making work available for someone else to copy, copying another student’s answers on an assessment, and using published works bearing copyrights without giving credit to the author or publisher. Students who violate these standards will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
