Cheating: No cheating will be tolerated. If a student is caught cheating, they will receive a zero as well as disciplinary actions. This includes being caught copying homework or class work from another teacher. Cheating includes copying other students’ work, discussing test material, and cutting and pasting from the internet. Cheating will result in zeroes assigned to all students involved. Make up work and tests Tests and quizzes are expected to be made up upon the student’s return to school. If the student is missing due to a field trip or driving, they are expected to make up tests or quizzes before they leave. Any work that is due while a student is out is expected to be turned in upon their return. If there is work assigned while the student is out, they are expected to make time outside of class to get their assignments and when they are due Extra Help Extra help is available after school. The student just needs to let me know they want extra help and we can arrange a time for them to come. Contact information If there are any questions please contact me at 1-302-651-2727 X308 or jtoner@charterschool.org. I have read and understand the requirements of the class
