ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Hopewell Middle School is a comprehensive learning environment that presents students with a wide range of learning opportunities. The success of our learning environment depends on the good will and serious purpose of students, teachers, administrators, and parents. Securing the right of all students to learn in an honest environment characterized by academic integrity requires that we clearly define the expectations for honorable behavior and the serious consequences for dishonest academic performance.
Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to: Copying the work of others or allowing others to copy your work, including unauthorized collaboration on homework; quizzes; possession or attempted possession of tests, quizzes, or other teacher materials without permission; “cheat sheets” of any type in any form (i.e. answers, formula data, or other information that can be used without the teacher’s knowledge during a graded assessment ); use of private communication concerning graded assessments by any means, including electronic and telecommunication devices, gestures, sign language, talking, leaving the room, etc.; unauthorized use of on-line translators.
Consequences of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:
The teacher notifies parents or guardians.
The teacher completes a discipline referral which is forwarded to the grade level assistant principal; the record remains in the student’s file.
The student is assigned to administrative detention.
High school credit classes may have additional consequences as stated in the course syllabus
Additional Consequences that may be assessed:
The student may be denied membership or be declared ineligible for organization activities, put on probation, or expelled from student organizations requiring an Honor Code (such as the National Junior Honor Society, Student Council, etc.,as well as student leadership positions).
Actions that involve collusion and/or theft of tests or teaching materials may result in suspension or other disciplinary actions to be determined by the building principal.
A pattern of cheating behavior may result in suspension or assignment to the DAEP
