3) Academic Dishonesty/Cheating/Plagiarism: Our K12 student handbook says that "cheating includes, but is not limited to: (1) use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examinations; (2) dependence upon the aid of resources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments; or (3) the acquisition, without permission, of tests, answer keys or other academic material intended for the exclusive use of an instructor; or (4) unauthorized acquisition of/or alteration of school records.
Consequences:
1. First offense - Individual classroom teacher will deal with the infraction and hold a conference with the student. Student may receive a zero (0) or grade reduction on the assignment or test. The teacher will notify parent/guardian upon each occurrence and document in the "visits" tab in MISTAR.
2. Second Offense - Parent contacted by teacher (and referral to administrator) for additional discipline up to and including suspension/expulsion from school.
