integrity where students accept responsibility for their own education and
the ramifications of their actions. The school community values academic
integrity and promotes the development of the students into mature, honest,
and responsible women. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated, and any
violations will be subject to the consequences state in the Student Handbook.
Classroom Expectations:
Students are to bring their notebook to class DAILY. Your notes should be
organized by chapter and date. Notebook assignments should be identified by
page number. Homework will be assigned on a daily basis. Each collected
assignments will be graded and given a predetermined point value. No late

In order to ensure success, it is important that students attend class on a
daily basis. If absences do occur, it is the responsibility of the student

hazard.
