Academic Integrity Policy
St. Francis de Sales promotes integrity in
every part of one’s life. This
includes all aspects of academic work, such as exams, quizzes,
homework,
assignments, papers, and so forth. It is the student’s responsibility
to avoid behavior that might be construed by a reasonable person
as
cheating. This also includes the individual who aides in academic
dishonesty
by providing another student answers or work. St. Francis de Sales
regards plagiarism, or the representation of someone else’s
work, as if it
were his or her own, as seriously as cheating on an exam or quiz
and will
treat plagiarism as such. The consequences for academic dishonesty
are
as follows:
- A zero (0) for that particular homework assignment, paper, quiz,
exam or other academic work
- Parental notification by teacher
- Parent meeting with the teacher, the Curriculum Director, and the
student
- Other disciplinary and/or academic consequences, as determined
by
the Curriculum Director.
Repeated occurrences of cheating will result in
further academic and
disciplinary action, with a recommendation to the principal for expulsion. |
