8. Cell phones
Once the bell rings, cell phones away, unless directed by teachers
Cell phones taken up and turned into the principal. 1st time Warning, Punishments Subsequent
During quizzes and tests, all cell phones must go in the hanging pockets by the door for the entirety of class, or receive a zero
Why? (Self-control and) Academic Dishonesty  Next slide!

9. Academic dishonesty
All work you expect to get credit for should be your own
Cheating and copying is a pervasive issue because technology makes it easy
Any work that appears to represent academic dishonesty will prompt a conference with teacher, student, and parent. May result in loss of grade with additional disciplinary actions by the principal.
