[CASL-L] Plagiarism policy

[Fitzgerald, Joy]

Hello,

     Our School's policy is part of the student handbook which each student recieves every year at the beginning of the year.   It is also posted as a PDF on our school website. (http://vernonpublicschools.org/files/documents-rhs/RHS%2520Student%2520and%2520Parent%2520Handbook%25202016-2017.pdf).   The website is open to all, so it is public information.

Here is the section from P.25-26 of our school handbook:

Plagiarism
● Turning in another person’s work and claiming it as your own
● Copying words or ideas from another person without documenting the source
● Failing to put another person’s words inside quotation marks
● Giving incorrect or incomplete information about the source of a quotation
● Changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without documenting the source
● Copying so many words or ideas from another person that it becomes the majority of your work, whether documented or not

All Offenses
            Failing grade on assignment
Parent notification
Administrative detention to suspension
Possible loss of eligibility for awards, recognitions, privileges, scholarships, and/or revocation of National Honor Society status





Hope this helps.
                              Joy

May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
– Irish Blessing
