4. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE AND POLICY:
Academic honesty and integrity are essential to
excellence in education. Since assignments, exams
and other schoolwork are measures of student
performance, honesty is required to ensure accurate
measurement of student learning. Each student,
parent and staff member has responsibility to promote
an academic culture that respects and fosters
individual achievement.
HONOR CODE:
On my honor, as an Eastview High School scholar, I will
neither cheat nor plagiarize on any coursework.
5. DEFINITION OF CHEATING:
Cheating is misleading an instructor in some way as
to receive or attempt to receive credit for work not
originated by the student or work performed with
unauthorized assistance.
Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
Copying from another student
Unauthorized collaboration
Allowing another student to copy your work
Using unauthorized “cheat sheets” or personal
technology devices as “electronic cheat sheets”
Revealing/receiving exam content, questions, answers,
tips
Resubmitting substantially the same work that was
produced for another assignment or course
6. DEFINITION OF PLAGIARISM:
Plagiarism is the use of passages, materials, words or ideas that
come from someone or something else, without properly naming
the source.
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:
Copying someone’s assignment
Copying text or other materials from the internet or
other source without citing them
Paraphrasing items from a book or article without
citing them
Using translation software to translate sentences or passages
Using the same sentence structure or thesis as another
source without citing it
Basically, if someone or something else has done the work (or a
portion of it) for you, and you do not acknowledge it, you are
being academically dishonest.
7. IF THERE IS A VIOLATION:
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:
An investigation will be conducted in a dignified, confidential and
respectful manner.
CONTINUUM OF CONSEQUENCES:
All violations of the honor code will have consequences
appropriate to the circumstances. Consequences may include,
but are not limited to:
•Redo the assignment/exam
•Reduced grade for the assignment/exam
•Zero for the assignment/exam
•Letter of apology
•Referral to administration
•Removal from course with an F
•Loss of EVHS scholarship opportunities
•Loss of National Honor Society membership
•Revocation or refusal of teacher college recommendations
8. HOW DO I, AS AN EVHS SCHOLAR, AVOID CHEATING?
It’s simple: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS do YOUR OWN work!
NEVER let someone copy any of your work on a test or assignment.
NEVER share information about a test afterwards to matter how
much someone begs you to spill the beans!
Do not collaborate or “work together” on an assignment, project or
exam without specific teacher permission.
If confronted by a peer to cheat, or if tempted on your own, just
remember your responsibility as an EVHS scholar to uphold the
EVHS code of honor.
Use the power of technology responsibly.
Listen to your “gut instinct”. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
Finally, if you observe someone cheating or feel undue pressure
from a peer to cheat, talk with a teacher, counselor or
administrator.
9. Any t-shirt/clothing that is coordinated (designed, purchased,
distributed, etc.) without the direction of a coach, advisor or
teacher must be approved by an EVHS administrator.
All t-shirt/clothing sales representing any group or class(es) at
EVHS must e presented to an EVHS administrator for approval.
The t-shirt/clothing must be approved five school days prior to
wearing.
Students wearing coordinated t-shirts/clothing without
administrative approval will be considered insubordinate
(appropriate consequences will apply).
The T-shirt/Clothing Approval Form can be picked up in the
Main Office.
10. Hall passes are required at all times.
Students may not leave the classroom without
permission and a pass from the teacher.
Official EVHS Passes to the Media Center must be
issued by classroom teachers and presented to Study
Hall teachers BEFORE proceeding to the Media Center.
Students need to present their pass and check-in at
the desk with a Media Specialist before using the
Media Center. Students must remain in the Media
Center the entire class period unless indicated on pass.
Students going to the nurse must have a pass from
their classroom teacher.
Misuse or forgery of a pass will result in disciplinary

“closed campuses”.
Students are expected to be in school from
7:30am through 2:25pm each day.
Students arriving after the start of the school
day are required to check in at the Attendance
Office.

Any student who leaves the building w/out a
Permit to Leave will receive detention.
13. When a student is absent from school,
parents/guardians are to call the EVHS
Attendance Voice Mail for each day of absence.
When an absence is verified in this way, the
appropriate notification will occur and eliminate
the need for an admit upon your return (you
can report directly to class without stopping at
the Attendance Office).
If an absence is not reported via Voice Mail,
students are required to bring in a
parent/guardian note excusing the absence in
order to obtain an admit.

locks and are provided for all EVHS students.

that do count in the maximum absence rule and result in
disciplinary consequences (i.e. truancy, oversleeping,
transportation issues)
TARDIES late to class w/out a pass; THREE tardies to any
class equals one absence and will be counted in the
maximum absence rule
27. Students have two days per day of absence in which to
turn in make-up work.
It is YOUR responsibility to consult your teachers about
absences from class and the make-up work required.
The two-day make-up policy does not apply to
preplanned absences (such as field trips, co-curricular
events, vacations, etc.). The teacher may require that
work be completed on or before the upcoming absence.
The two-day make-up policy also does not apply to
unexcused absences. The teacher may require that work
be completed (and exams be taken) upon your return to
class.
28. Students are expected to attend class every day
The Maximum Absence Rule is enforced when a student
accumulates eight absences in any one class in a quarter
(combination of absences + tardies)
The student will receive a “no grade” (NG) for the class if he/she
remains in the class, follows behavioral expectations and meets all
course requirements for passing by the end of the quarter. The
NG does not affect the student’s GPA.
The student will receive a “fail” (F) if he/she is removed from the
class for being disruptive or not following expectations, if the
student chooses to leave the class and be scheduled into a
structured study hall, or if the student does not meet the course
requirements.
The student may also appeal the maximum attendance rule if
he/she feels there were extenuating circumstances that
contributed to the eight absences (including those accumulated
through tardies).
29. ALL students are expected to know, understand and follow
the behavior expectations/consequences for misbehavior.
