HONOR CODE
As a Connections student, I know that
academic honesty is critical to my own
success, as well as to the mission of my
School. I also understand that an Honor
Code is, by its nature, limited not only to
those situations spelled out in the code,
but includes the spirit of honesty and
ethics implied by the written code. I
agree that I will uphold not only the
letter of this code but also its implied
intent of ongoing commitment to full
academic honesty.
• Submit original work
• Everything MUST be your
own work
• Plagiarism will result in
discipline
• Don’t know the material?
– Call your teacher for help.

I just wanted to remind you not to panic about your grades at this
point. Keep in mind that you have only completed a few
assignments and as such, the grades are not a true representation of
how you are doing. As more assignments, tests, quizzes and
portfolios get completed, the grade will more closely represent how
you are doing.
Students, please be sure you are doing your best and taking your
time on tests, quizzes, and quick-checks. Write in complete
sentences, and re-read your answers to make sure they make
sense. For the Language Arts class, remember that on your tests,
quizzes, and quick-checks, you are allowed to use your textbook,
notes, and other Connections resources.
Some students find it helpful to print out tests and quizzes and do
them on paper first, and then enter them into the computer. Do
whatever works best for you!
Thanks for all the hard work!
