Academic Honesty

Students are expected to complete their own work for English class.

Plagiarism is the use of any idea or phrasing of an idea traceable to a single source without proper acknowledgment. Plagiarism is also turning in someone else’s work as your own or supplying your work to another student for him/her to use.
Academic dishonesty includes copying homework, websites, requesting to access other student's work, sharing classwork, quiz, and test answers from other students with or without their permissions.
Students who work ‘together’ should not have identical work.”

Students who elect to make academic dishonest choices will not receive credit for the assignment.

Assessments

EWCSD utilizes a variety of assessments to monitor student growth and achievement. Our teachers engage in daily informal formative assessments to make timely decision about whether a student understands the material and concepts being presented. We also utilize several summative assessments to determine if a student has mastered grade level skills and standards.

Absent Assignments

If a student misses an assignment due to an excused absence, he or she should access the class website to find out what was missed and make-up the assignment promptly. Students are granted the number of days they are absent to make-up the assignment (ex. If a student is absent for two days, he or she has two additional class days to make-up the assignment from the time he or she returns to school). Students must make arrangements with Mrs. Peterson within one week of returning to school in order to make-up missed quizzes or tests.
