You must hold yourselves to high expectations when you use these resources. Your time must be spent well. Unless I specifically say that you may have your cell phones out, you must keep them away at all times. If I see your cell phone in class, I will take it for the remainder of the class period. A If you are absent, it is your responsibility to follow proper procedures to ensure that you receive your work. You will have two days to make up any missing assignments. cademic dishonesty All work that you submit must be your own work. You may not do any of the following: 1) Turn in or copy someone else s work. 2) Copy someone s work and change a few of the words. 3) Copying words from a source without citing it and giving credit to the source. 4) Attempt to use any notes on a closed-note assignment. 5) Look at someone else s work during an quiz, test, or otherwise individual assessment.

AHS E L A A c a d e m i c I n t e g r i t y P o l i c y DEFINITIONS PURPOSE Purpose: This policy aims to maintain and promote academic integrity within the high school community by outlining the consequences for students caught cheating through the use of artificial intelligence on their schoolwork ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Being honest and responsible in your schoolwork. It involves doing your own work, not cheating or plagiarizing (copying someone else s work and claiming it as your own, or using your own work that was turned in to another teacher at another time), and acknowledging the sources you use in your assignments. It is about being fair and respectful to yourself and others in the academic community. CHEATING: Any act of dishonesty, including but not limited to plagiarism, using unauthorized aids, or employing artificial intelligence to complete assignments. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI): The use of technology or algorithms that mimic cognitive functions to perform tasks traditionally requiring human intelligence. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES Students are strictly prohibited from engaging in plagiarism or using artificial intelligence, automated tools, or any unauthorized means to complete assignments, exams, or any other academic tasks. We advocate for students to write their own work rather than use AI to develop their skills as it fosters critical thinking, creativity, and a genuine understanding of the material, which are essential for their academic and personal growth.
