ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

HELLO PARENTS AND STUDENTS,

AS WE LEARN, UNCOVER AND DISCUSS NEW INFORMATION IN USH, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE DEDICATE SOME TIME AND EFFORT INTO UNDERSTANDING AND MEMORIZING THIS INFORMATION.  QUIZZES, TO INCLUDE THOSE THAT ARE UNANNOUNCED, WILL FORCE YOU TO STAY PREPARED IN ORDER TO REMAIN SUCCESSFUL IN THIS HISTORY CLASS.  TO PREPARE YOU MUST READ OVER YOUR NOTES AND VOCABULARY TERMS NIGHTLY. 

AS A REVIEW, YOU WILL GRADE YOUR OWN ASSESSMENTS.  RED PENS WILL BE PROVIDED.  WHEN THAT PROCESS BEGINS, YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO PUT AWAY YOUR OWN WRITING UTENSIL(S)...IT SHOULD BE OUT OF SITE...PLACED IN YOUR BOOK BAGS, PURSES, ETC.  AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE YOUR PENS AND PENCILS FROM YOUR DESK (ALWAYS SEVERAL TIMES), AND YOU ARE CAUGHT WITH ONE IN YOUR HAND WHILE WE ARE GRADING,  A GRADE OF ZERO WILL BE GIVEN. 

PLEASE STUDENTS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE REVIEW. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE ANSWERS YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN WRONG, SO THAT YOU CAN STUDY THOSE STANDARDS FOR YOUR RE-TEST.  DON'T JEOPARDIZE YOUR AVERAGE FOR A LAPSE IN JUDGEMENT.  IF YOU FAIL A TEST, YOU CAN RE-TEST (IF YOU COME TO TUTORING AND PREPARE FOR THE TEST).  YOU FORFEIT RETESTING IF YOU ARE CAUGHT CHEATING AND YOU EARN A GRADE OF ZERO. 

YOU ARE CHEATING IF-

1.YOU LOOK ON ANOTHER STUDENTS PAPER AFTER TESTING HAS BEGUN

2. YOU ARE CAUGHT TALKING AFTER TESTING HAS BEGUN

3. YOU ARE CAUGHT W/ A CHEAT SHEET OR NOTES ON ANY PART OF YOUR BODY ( EX. HAND)

4. YOU HAVE YOUR PEN IN HAND AFTER INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN TO PUT YOUR WRITING UTENSILS AWAY AND GRADING PAPERS/TEST REVIEW HAS BEGUN; IF YOU ARE CAUGHT CHANGING ANSWERS

5. YOU ARE CAUGHT WITH YOUR CELLULAR DEVICE IN HAND EITHER LOOKING UP INFORMATION, TAKING A PICTURE OF THE TEST OR TEXTING SOMEONE FOR ANSWERS

6. ETC.  

LET US CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO BE ACADEMICALLY HONEST.  TOGETHER WE CAN WORK ON REINFORCING THOSE DEFICIENT AREAS.  I AM HERE EARLY MOST MORNING AND DO NOT MIND STAYING LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.

TOGETHER WE CAN AND WILL EXCEED EXPECTATIONS IN USH.

THANK YOU,

MRS. JONES
