As stated in the Gorzycki handbook:
Academic Integrity: We expect that all students strive to learn the subject they are being taught during their time at Gorzycki. The material that you learn in middle school builds the foundation that will carry you into your future academic endeavors. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that our students do their own work, give credit to those who work they have used in a paper or project, and have the integrity to learn material and study for tests and quizzes so that they are prepared. Students who are dishonest should expect consequences. Forgery is considered academic dishonesty and will be handled accordingly.
Plagiarism: Is taking credit for another person’s work or ideas and passing them off as if they are your own. A common infraction is copying and pasting text from a website into a document without giving credit to the author. Plagiarizing copyrighted material is illegal.
Consequences for Plagiarism/Cheating:
First Offense: Zero on the assignment (can NOT be made up) Parent conference with student and teacher.
Further Offenses: Referral to the office and further disciplinary consequences.
