Academic dishnesty is defined as an intentinal act f deceptin in ne f the fllwing areas: Cmplete r partial academic dishnesty will immediately result in a grade f zer. Absences Due t ur blck schedule, an absence t a blck-schedule class is equivalent t tw absences (Perid 1 nly cunts as 1). It is very imprtant that students make every attempt t be present fr all classes. We cver many cncepts in a blck schedule class perid. Please d nt plan n extra days ur extending lng weekends and hliday perids. An absent student is respnsible t btain the infrmatin/tpic cvered during their absence. An absent student will be held respnsible fr btaining all make-up wrk. Being absent frm class may hinder a student s academic prgress. If pssible, dn t miss class at all. Students missing class fr extracurricular activities are nt exempt frm assigned wrk deadlines. An absent student participating n an extracurricular activity is respnsible fr any assigned material, and must request make-up wrk/test upn returning t class. As stated in the Parent Handbk: Teachers are required t prvide students with make-up assignments nce the absence has been excused; hwever, it is the respnsibility f the student t request the assignments frm the teacher(s). It is the student s respnsibility t infrm the teacher when the excuse fr an absence has been turned in. Tardies In an effrt t minimize the disruptins in class caused by tardy students, the administratin has set the fllwing rules: Students tardy t their first perid (7:30am & 8:30am), r caught n a Tardy Hall Sweep during the day, will nt be allwed int the classrm, will receive an unexcused absence fr that perid, and will nt be allwed t make up the day s wrk. Students tardy t a class withut a MDCPS fficial hall pass may receive a detentin, at the teacher s discretin. Students will be assigned t detentin fr every tardy after the secnd unexcused tardy. A student will be referred t Administratin after the third tardy. In the event that a student is tardy t a class withut a MDCPS fficial hall pass n a test day, the student will nt be given extra time t cmplete the test. 3
