Summer School

Attendance and Engaged Learning ➡Students who are 1 day behind will receive a phone call from the teacher, and if they are 2 days behind, an email from the administration will be sent. This email will indicate that on the 2nd day, they will be removed from the course. Students cannot be released early.

Academic Dishonesty Policy Reference:

EICS Admin Procedure 360 - Assessment, Evaluation and Reporting

The primary purpose of student assessment and evaluation is to support student learning and to have all students improve their performance. The following grading practices distort achievement and are inconsistent with Elk Island Catholic School’s Assessment Administrative Procedure:

i. extra credit or bonus points

ii. penalties for student work submitted late

iii. penalties for student absences

iv. an automatic permanent grade of zero when evidence is missing or as a punishment

v. academic dishonesty and incomplete evidence of learning

vi. group marks

vii. homework should have little or no part of grades

Academic Dishonesty refers to student behavior where their performance on an assessment is enhanced by accessing information that has not been permitted by the teacher.

This may include:

● possession of materials not allowed in during an examination,

● copying from another student,

● accessing assessments in advance from another student,

● using technology that is not permitted such as a phone or smart watch,

● hiding notes in a calculator, dictionary, thesaurus, etc.

● plagiarism

This behavior is unacceptable and will result in consequences that will help promote the importance of students maintaining academic integrity. It is important to note that plagiarism is a serious violation of academic integrity.

Offering the work of another as one's own without proper acknowledgement is plagiarism. Therefore, any student who fails to give appropriate credit for ideas or material he or she takes from another, whether a fellow student or a published resource writer, is guilty of plagiarism.

St. Isidore staff are committed to using preventative practices to reduce the frequency of possible incidents of academic dishonesty. In so doing, staff will do their best to ensure that testing materials are secured, and they are diligent in reviewing this policy with all classes and doing proper checks of materials used by students during assessment. Any incident of academic dishonesty will be investigated thoroughly by the class teacher in consultation with the administration. For a student guilty of academic dishonesty, the following consequences may be applied in collaboration between the teacher, the subject coordinator, and the grade level administration.

In addition to the consequences listed below, any student who has had one incident of academic dishonesty in a school calendar year will become ineligible for school-based awards and accolades.

Listed below are possible options:

1st Offence

● Assign an invalidated grade of 0* (with a comment in PowerSchool)

● Contact parents/guardians with student*

*Note: Teachers will offer students an opportunity to replace a grade with an alternative assessment or reassessment if the student is willing to restore their academic integrity through diligent pursuit of their studies and compliance with class expectations.

2nd Offence

● Withdrawal from the course will be strongly considered by the administration (would not apply to students in elementary and junior high)

● Meeting with parents/guardians and admin (Virtual or In-person)
