Classroom Policies
Supplies (Math Classes)Academic IntegrityI have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for cheating. Any student caught cheating will redo the assignment at lunch, a call home to parents, a BL-2, and a 1-page essay on academic integrity. This also applies to anyone assisting someone in cheating. To clarify, seeking out resources online to help you solve a problem is NOT cheating. Asking a parent or sibling to help you is NOT cheating. Asking Ms. Lagos for help, even if she walks you through every step of the problem, is NOT cheating. If anyone or anything gives you the answer, that IS cheating.
