School Policies, Rules and Regulations
Standards of Honesty, Respect for Property
In recent years, we have made a strong statement relative to the school’s attitude towards honesty and cheating. The following activities are considered to be unacceptable:
Lying
The lending and copying of homework or assignments
Plagiarism
Cheating (cribbing) on tests or examinations
Stealing of tests, examination, or personal property
Breaking or damaging school property
Acts of dishonesty, such as breaking into an individual’s locker, desk, or school bag.
These offenses range in their degree of severity and thus punishments will be imposed accordingly. The principal and his staff will be the ultimate authority in determining the action taken against offending students.
(We realize we are fighting a trend in which, in some areas, is now considered less seriously than in the past. Nevertheless, we are determined to do everything possible to instill a strong and real sense of honor in the hearts and minds of Westwood High School students.)
