(3) Contact parents and 30-minute detention where manual labor (ex: cleaning my classroom up) will be assigned and two levels lower on conduct/citizenship grade.

tardy policy:
During each 9 weeks: 1st Tardy = Warning; 2nd Tardy = second warning and possible detention; 3rd Tardy = referral to attendance office, detention, and call home to guardian(s); 4th Tardy = LATE = an unexcused absence! Each subsequent tardy is considered an unexcused absence. At this point, your citizenship grade will be lowered. After four unexcused absences, you will receive an attendance failure for the 9 weeks grade.
cheating definition and policy:
It is the same as stealing––because the work belongs to someone else. Stealing is wrong, and cheating is wrong. The worst thing about cheating is that in the end, you cheat yourself out of the one thing no one else can ever take away from you––an education. Cheating includes:
• copying someone’s homework or classwork
• copying someone’s answers on a test
• submitting someone else’s work (including anything copied from the Internet) as your own (plagiarism).
The penalty applied for cheating is a zero
• for the person who copies someone else’s work.
• for the person who allows someone to copy his/her work.
Other penalties are outlined in the school discipline plan. If you are copying someone else’s work for another class during my class, I will take both papers and give them to the person who teaches that class letting them know who it was that was cheating. That’s right, I will tell on you.
