Wakefield High School Honor Code
The students of Wakefield High School are committed to being honest and responsible in the
completion of academic materials and interactions with the school administration and community.
Cheating, stealing, plagiarism (passing off another’s work, words, or ideas as one’s own), and lying
(including willful distortion or misrepresentation) are considered violations of the Honor Code.
Through a joint fulfillment of this code, students and faculty will achieve their fullest potential in
academic excellence and character.
Classroom Expectations
Virtually: Please participate daily in live instruction time and arrive on time. Ask questions when you are unsure of what is going on and be respectful of others online (i.e. Keep microphones off when others are talking, your camera can be turned off but feel free to turn it on so we can see your smiling face!)
When we return to school: Be prepared and be on time! Please bring usual items to class that are part of a productive school day. This includes pencils, pens, spiral notebooks (paper), and if you don’t plan to eat the school food, please, don't forget to pack a lunch.
We expect all students to respect one another, follow instructions provided by all adults present in the classrooms and most importantly, keep your hands to yourself. Please do not touch item s that are not yours and do not touch fellow students. We have to be respectful of others at all times.
Grading Policy
All work should be turned in on time. If you are absent, you need to speak with your teacher to see what assignments were completed while you were absent from school. Per WCPSS policy, you are given one day per each day missed to make up your work up to 3 days. For example, if you miss two consecutive school days, you have two days to make up your assignments that you missed while being absent. When absences exceed 3 days, you will have at least 2 days for each day missed to complete the assignments you missed during your absence. Special consideration will be given when a student has an extended number of absences due to an injury or chronic illness.
Grading Scale
A=90-100: indicates excellent achievement
B=80-89: indicates good achievement
C=70-79: indicates satisfactory achievement
D=60-69: indicates minimal achievement
F=Less than 60: indicates insufficient achievement
--Tests are 35% of your grade
--Quizzes make up 30% of your grade
--Classwork counts as 35% of your grade
Summary
We are excited to see each of you, New students and Returning students. Please know that we are looking forward to a year of learning, growing, and helping you find success here at Wakefield High School!
