Extreme Misconduct (very serious):

Extreme infractions are those that involve the most pressing discipline issues. The following are just examples and are not all inclusive:

 Arson or attempted arson
 Assault and/or battery
 Bulling – either physical or psychological
 Bomb threats, false fire alarms, abuse of fire extinguishers and false police reports
 Breaking and entering: unauthorized entry into school property, including but not limited to school buildings and school vehicles
 Computer tampering, unauthorized access, modification or destruction of private files.
 Use or possession of explosives
 Extortion, blackmail or coercion: obtaining money or property by violence or force

 Other violations of federal, state or local ordinances
 Obscene, vulgar or profane language toward a staff member
 Disrupting the school environment in any way while suspended from school
 Disrupting the school environment in any way during fire drills, tornado drills, or lockdown drills

Any criminal acts taking place at or related to the school will be reported to law enforcement officials as well as disciplined by the school. It is not considered double jeopardy (being tried twice for the same crime), when school rules and laws are violated. Any student who is a participant/accessory to misconduct, or hinders/interferes with an investigation will be subject to disciplinary action.

Plagiarism is using another person’s words, ideas, or work without giving credit to that person. It includes:

 Paraphrasing information from a source without referencing the source.
 Copying and pasting Internet information, graphics or media into your work with out the source.
 Using someone else’s homework, paper, or research you did not do and turning it in as if you had done the work yourself.
 Not placing quotation marks around parts of sources you copy exactly.

When a citation for each source used is not included in the paper, speech, project, etc., the student has committed plagiarism.
