Code of Ethics

3 You are expected to uphold the school's standard of conduct relating to academic honesty. You assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work you submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity shall be that a student's submitted work, examinations, reports, and projects must be that of your own work. You will be guilty of violating the honor code if you: Represent the work of others as your own. Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work. Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or report for the purpose of obtaining additional credit. Misrepresent the content of submitted work. The penalty for violating the honor code is severe. Any student violating the honor code is subject to receive a failing grade for the course and will be reported to Student Resource. If a student is unclear about whether a particular situation may constitute an honor code violation, the student should meet with the instructor to discuss the situation. Cheating Giving or receiving assistance on an exam/project/class work will not be tolerated, and will result in a grade of zero on the assignment and possible disciplinary action. Tardy Policy Tardies are not permitted. First Tardy is a Warning. Second Tardy is a call Home. The third tardy to class will result in you owning me 30 or a referral. That is a 30 minute detention after school. Multiple tardies will result in calls home and alerting guidance and discipline. You are to silently sign-in when you come to class late. Phone Policy Students will be expected to follow the district phone policy. At NO time is a phone to be turned on or out in the classroom. Absences/Late Work/Remediation Volusia County Schools Secondary Grading Policy will be used. What you can expect of me: Class to start on time. I will be prepared for class and you will not have to wait for me to begin. I will not interrupt your conversations and will listen to you about appropriate classroom topics. I will attempt to fix any computer issues that may arise in a timely manner. I will provide feedback to you in a timely manner. I will share the knowledge I have gained with you. Grading Policy 60% or the grade is Summative (i.e. Projects end of quarter/semester tests) and 40% is Formative (i.e. graded observations, quizzes, teacher questions, worksheets).
