A student is considered to be in violation of the ethics policy when cheating or plagiarism has
occurred. All tests, quizzes, reports, essays, projects, assignments and any state or school related
tests (AIMS, SAT, ACT, etc) are subject to this policy. If a student is in question about whether
he/she can work with a partner or if cheating/plagiarism is in question, ASK the instructor first.
The following action will be taken in regards to students in violation of the policy:
1. Automatic No Credit on assignments or test.
2. Parent Notified.
3. Referral to administration and placed in student discipline file.
4. Suspended for a minimum of one day for multiple infractions.

SUPPLY REQUESTS
Teachers needing classroom supplies should complete a Supply Request Form, available in the
Office, and submit the form to the principal’s secretary.
PURCHASE ORDERS
No items will be ordered without a purchase order number. (If a purchase is made without a
purchase order, the school district will not be responsible for payment.) Occasionally, an
employee will receive a purchase order and will be permitted to make the purchase directly from
the vendor. All related paperwork, such as receipt, order, etc., should be given to the accounting
clerk immediately following such purchase.
Students may not be sent to make purchases for the school or school district.
As per instructions from the Auditor General’s Office, all student activity purchases must be
requisitioned for a purchase order.
FUND RAISING FOR STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Classes, clubs and organizations act as a part of the Student Council and MUST secure permission
for an activity from the Student Council and Principal. To receive permission for the school
activity, the procedure listed below should be followed:
Check the activity calendar from the Accounting office for available dates.
Submit a “Fundraiser and/or Event” form to the Accounting office at least two weeks prior to the
proposed activity. Student clubs need to have meeting minutes attached to the form. Accounting
turns in forms to Student Council, then principal, and then district office for approval.
Fill out a purchase requisition if a vendor will be paid for the activity. Student clubs must include
