Consequences:
All management of plagiarism, associated actions, and consequences are initially the responsibility of the
classroom teacher in collaboration with the Unit Principal. After an accusation of plagiarism, the student,
his/her parent[s] and the student’s Unit Principal will be notified. The Unit Principal will record this
violation in the student’s discipline record and assign consequences. In the case of summative
assessments, the classroom teacher will determine the alternative assignment, in order to ascertain the
student learning, although the grade may reflect a percentage reduction.

The Unit Principal will use the following guidelines for consequences:
1st Offense – Formative assignment = Wednesday PM Detention and a zero on the assignment

– Summative assignment = 2 Days of ISR and a 33% reduction in the student grade
Subsequent Offense Possibilities – OSS, expulsion, loss of credit, loss of leadership roles in the school,
and loss of college recommendation letters

CLINIC PROCEDURES

The Clinic is located in the Main Office. Its purpose is to provide temporary first aid for minor injuries
and illness. If you need to go to the clinic, you must get a pass from your teacher. If you become ill
during the school day, do not stay in the restroom or you will be considered unexcused. If your condition
is so severe that you are unable to make it to the clinic, notify a teacher or have someone get help.

LEAVING DURING THE DAY/CLINIC
Students needing medication (Advil, Tylenol, cold medicine, etc.) during the day must report to the Clinic
and sign in. Parents will be notified to either:
1. Bring the medication to the student at school or give permission for the student to go home.
2. Any student leaving the building due to illness should not return to school that day.

COMMONS AND FLEX PASS PRIVILEGES

Upperclassmen have the opportunity to receive commons privilege and a flex pass for free periods. These
PRIVILEGES are earned through solid citizenship and achievement. Commons privilege means that
instead of being assigned to a formal study hall, juniors and seniors with commons privilege report to the
commons during study hall time. Commons privilege is simple to maintain. Students need to be in good
academic standing, meaning passing all of their classes. Otherwise, they will have shown they need the
extra structure to complete work and will be assigned to a Study Hall.

To earn a Flex Pass, students must meet the following criteria:
 Have the appropriate credits to qualify as a junior or senior
 Have passed all parts of the OGT or received passing scores on the AIR/PARCC subject tests
 Have passed all classes in the last grading period/semester
 Be in good standing with regard to attendance (less than 3 absences or tardies in the previous

quarter)
 Be in good standing with regard to disciplinary issues
