Electronic Devices Classroom Policy: Usage of any handheld electronic device (phone/iPad/iPod/etc) in the classroom is only allowed for educational purposes pertaining to the task at hand. Any inappropriate usage of such devices would result in confiscation of the device and your parent(s) would be notified. Attendance and Lates: Attendance to every class on time is MANDATORY. It is considered very rude and inconsiderate of your teacher and classmates if you arrive late. For excused absences (such as illness or family emergencies), you must provide me with a note signed by your parent/guardian explaining the absence the day you return to school. *It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to catch up on material that is missed due to an absence. Make sure you have a classmate that you may contact to get the missed material from (it will also be written on the website). If you missed a test or a quiz, you are expected to write it during the period you return! Cheating Policy: From your student agenda p. 12-13 “Cheating (is) Any attempt by a student to complete an examination or assessment by unfair means.” “Consequences of Cheating or Plagiarism: 1. The student will receive a 0(zero) for that particular work. 2. Parents will be contacted. 3. The incident will be recorded and placed in a central file in the office. 4. The incident may be recorded on the student’s file. 5. The student may not be eligible for Honour Roll recognition, for Passport to Education, or for school based scholarships for that academic year. 6. The student may be suspended or transferred from PW. 7. The student must meet with the teacher to put closure to that matter.”
