The ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ eSchool expects all students to uphold academic integrity. It is expected that all submitted work represents the original work of the student and should reflect the academic ability of the student. Violations of academic integrity are serious, may impact a student’s future career and academic plans, and will result in disciplinary action within eSchool.<\/p>\n
*Any misuse of Generative AI tools (including plagiarism, unethical use, or violation of privacy guidelines) will be subject to disciplinary action. If the authenticity of a submission is in question, a teacher may require an alternate assessment to validate comprehension. This may include (but is not limited to) in-person assessment, written assessment, discussion-based assessment, etc. In instances where ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒs\/guardians and students disagree with a teacher’s conclusion of the use of AI, the eSchool Principal will make the final determination.<\/p>\n
Infraction #1 during an academic year within a teacher\u2019s course(s)<\/strong> Infraction #2 during an academic year within a teacher\u2019s course(s)<\/strong> Infraction #3 or more times during an academic year within a teacher\u2019s course(s)<\/strong> Appeals for zero grades may be made to the eSchool Principal. In these cases, a meeting will be conducted with the ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒs, teacher and eSchool Administration. All appeals must be made within one week of notification of a zero grade. All decisions of the eSchool Principal will be final.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Repeated infractions may be referred to the eSchool Principal for potential removal from the program. Repeated offenses will affect future eSchool application eligibility.<\/p>\n *If the student denies the violation, the ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ will be notified and the teacher will provide evidence to support the allegation. Evidence can include links to websites that have been plagiarized, references to duplicated work, time and date stamps on assignments, inconsistency in quality of work, comprehension of concepts, etc.<\/p>\n * If the student, ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ\/guardian, and teacher are unable to resolve the issue, a meeting with the eSchool Principal will be required. The eSchool Principal will make a decision based on the evidence presented and will inform the teacher, student, and ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ\/guardian of the decision. All decisions made by the principal will be final.<\/p>\n *An academic integrity situation that compromises the accurate assessment of other students in the district, department, or classes (such as copying\/taking pictures of exams and dispersing, sharing passwords, posting course material on open websites i.e. Course Hero, Brainly, etc.) will be dealt with through school administration. Such cases may result in the removal of the student from eSchool.<\/p>\n *eSchool Administration may require students to take finals in person when there are suspected academic integrity violations.<\/p>\n In situations where the student may not understand that they were cheating (did not understand how to properly summarize\/cite from a resource), teachers will reteach the proper procedure to avoid cheating and allow the student to reassess on the same or an alternate assessment. Students cannot claim ignorance for blatant cheating or multiple instances of improper citation.<\/p>\n Time to Complete a Course<\/strong> Students who refuse to participate in these assessments may be subject to course failure, and those who do not demonstrate adequate comprehension may be required to redo parts of the course or retake it entirely. Should ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒs\/guardians or students disagree with a teacher\u2019s conclusion, the eSchool Principal will make the final determination.<\/p>\n

\nPer eSchool\u2019s Minimum Timeframe Policy<\/strong>, all students must be enrolled for a minimum of 15 school days in a non-credit recovery course to receive credit. Students work at their own pace to ensure a thorough understanding of the course material. While there is no exact or standardized timeframe for completing a course, any significant deviations from expected progress may be reviewed. In such cases, a teacher may require additional or alternate assessments to validate a student\u2019s comprehension and academic integrity; these assessments may include, but are not limited to, in-person assessments, written assessments, or discussion-based assessments.<\/p>\n
