Academic Integrity Policy

Philosophy/Rationale:

Academic honesty is highly valued at Redlands High School. Our school is committed to advancing the pursuit of intellectual

excellence and to maintaining the highest standards and expectations for academic integrity among all students. We believe in

establishing a school climate and educational environment that promotes ethical and responsible student conduct. Each student is

responsible for helping to keep this environment intact. Teachers and administrators at RHS understand that pressure to get good

grades might create the incentive to cheat. However, we are also certain that neither pressure for grades, inadequate time for studying

or completing an assignment, nor unrealistic parental expectations justify students acting dishonestly. As a professional learning

community, we affirm that “learning for learning’s sake” is intrinsically valued, and we will not tolerate any infractions that create or

result in an unfair academic advantage for one student, or a disadvantage for another. Additionally, Redlands High School asserts the

need to prepare our students for the reality created by the technology explosion for the world of college and work, where cheating and

plagiarism have dire consequences.

What is academic integrity?

Having academic integrity means valuing and demonstrating positive regard for:

● Intellectual honesty

● Personal truthfulness

● Learning for its own sake

● The creations and opinions of others (i.e. intellectual property)

● Copying of or closely paraphrasing sentences, phrases or passages from an uncited source for a paper, or for research,

including work submitted through turnitin®

Consequences:

● The student will have a reduction in grade/credit (up to, and including “0” credit) on the assignment, lab, exam, test,

or quiz based upon the teacher’s grading system; student MAY be given the opportunity to re-do

assignment/assessment or per teacher discretion, an alternative assignment/assessment may be assigned. All assigned

point values will be determined by the teacher.

● Teacher will confer with the student and contact the parent/guardian by phone or e-mail to review the academic

integrity incident within three school days of becoming aware of the incident.

● A teacher may decline to write a letter of recommendation or report the infraction in a letter. A teacher may also

rescind a recommendation letter after it has been sent.

● Teacher will submit a written referral, with appropriate documentation, to an assistant principal who will meet with

the student and counselor, and document the incident/follow-up action in Aeries; assistant principal will notify all of

the student’s teachers of the infraction.

● Disciplinary actions may include, but are not limited to, lunch detentions and campus beautification service. All

students who commit a Level 1 infraction, will receive a verbal warning and the student and parent will be required to

sign a statement/contract that acknowledges the violation/penalty and indicates an understanding of further

consequences for any subsequent offenses.

LEVEL 2 INFRACTIONS:

These are situations involving more serious ethical violations. Occurrences at this level include, but are not limited to,

● Deliberate exchange/copying of information from another student including during a test/quiz or of a lab write-up

● Flagrant copying of a secondary source, internet site, web-based information, and any work of another person - includes

papers submitted through turnitin®

● Attempting to obtain points by modifying a previously marked paper

● Giving or receiving test information to or from students in other periods of the same teacher or same course

● Submitting individual projects and pacers that are not wholly your own work

● OR a second or repeated instance of a Level 1 violation (previous violations of Level 1 need not have occurred in the same

class or academic year).

Consequences include those listed under LEVEL 1 Consequences and ONE OR MORE of the following:

● Per advisor discretion, the student may lose permissions to participate in or be placed on probation for

extracurricular activities including but not limited to: ASB, clubs, athletics, dances, rallies and academic programs

(AVID, HEART Academy).

● In the grading period directly after the incident, the teacher may mark “U” for the student’s Citizenship mark.

LEVEL 3 INFRACTIONS:

These situations involve serious ethical violations and/or deliberate failure to adhere to the RHS Academic Integrity Policy.

Occurrences at this level include, but are not limited to:

● A 3rd offense of Level 1, a combination of a Level 1 and a Level 2 offense or 1st offense at Level 3 (previous violations

at any level need not have occurred neither in the same class nor academic year).

● Involvement in a cheating conspiracy

● Involvement in blatant or extensive plagiarism or cheating beyond that of a Level 2

● Distributing unauthorized papers, labs or projects to other students

● Air-Dropping and/or mass sharing or distribution of exam/quiz/assessment material to other students

● Theft of assessment, instructional or administrative materials

● Receiving payment or paying for unauthorized papers or projects

● Altering grades on a computer database, gradebook, or returned work.

Consequences include those listed under LEVEL 1 and 2 Consequences and ONE OR MORE of the following:

● If a college requires or requests information on cheating, the school will notify the college of any academic

misconduct. For seniors whose class grade drops due to an infraction of the integrity policy, please take note that

colleges may rescind acceptances of students who earn a D or F in courses their senior year.

● Automatic exclusion from extra/co-curricular activities, including disqualification from Daisy Chain/Junior Usher.

NOTE: Where appropriate, Level 3 violations will also be referred to law enforcement.

Edgenuity and Accelus students: Instances of academic dishonesty and plagiarism will be dealt with in accordance to the

compact agreed to by students and parents.

PROCEDURES:

Parents and students should understand that the teacher’s professional judgment in conjunction with administrative guidance

will determine whether a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy has occurred.

Appeals Process: Students wishing to contest decisions/consequences resulting from an Academic Integrity Policy violation

may submit their written appeal to the RHS Academic Integrity Appeals Board (composed of RHS certificated and

administrative staff) within 5 days of the initial consequence. Final appeals must be submitted to the principal within 5 days of

the Board’s decision.

The Academic Integrity Committee of Redlands High School gratefully acknowledges Del Mar High School and Fremont Union High

School District, whose policies Redlands High School has used as a model in formulating its own position on Academic Integrity.

Counseling Services

COUNSELORS - Upon entering RHS, each student is assigned to a high school counselor. Your counselor, who usually remains with you

throughout your stay at RHS, has one major goal—to help you derive the most benefit possible from your years at RHS. To do this, your counselor will offer assistance to you as you make decisions about such matters as programs of study, specific courses, and further education after high school, or job training. An important part of your experience at RHS will involve relationships with people–friends, teachers, administrators, and parents. Your counselor will help you as you live with these people on a daily basis and handle some of the issues that arise naturally in human interactions.

APPOINTMENTS - Meeting with your counselor is easy. Come to the Counseling Center before school, at lunch, or after school to make an

appointment. Walk-in appointments available during most lunch periods. You may also email or phone your counselor.

PROGRAM CHANGES - It is assumed that when a student is scheduled he/she is getting into classes of his/her choice; therefore, the need for

program changes should be reduced greatly. Changes will be made only for an ability level change, the adding of a required course, or reasons that may be in the best interest of the student/school. In the event that a student must switch classes at the beginning of the semester, it is highly recommended that the class change take place within the first 10 days of the semester so that the student has a greater opportunity to have a smooth transition into their new class. The following RUSD administrative regulation applies to the withdrawal of classes ( does not apply to level changes within a core content area ) Withdrawal from Classes (AR 5121) : A student who drops a course during the first 20 days of the semester may do so without any entry on his/her permanent report card. A student who drops a course after 20 days but before 41 days shall receive a "W" grade on his/her permanent record but the "W" will not count in the determination of the cumulative grade point average. A student who drops a course after the first 40 days of the semester shall receive a "WF" on his/her permanent record, unless otherwise decided by the principal/designee because of extenuating circumstances.

TRANSFERRING TO ANOTHER SCHOOL - You must go through a checkout procedure that can be initiated in the Attendance

Office. All books must be turned in and any fees or fines must be paid or your transcript will not be sent to your new school. A record is kept in your permanent file and is removed only after payment. The transcript is the official legal document that indicates credits earned in any school and is the tool used to transfer such credit. It is also used to prove that you graduated or were in attendance in any school for any period of time

**Please be sure to update your contact information and preference in your Aeries Parent Portal regularly. You manage your own settings. Click here for the Aeries Parent Portal 24 Hour Attendance Line 909 - 307 - 5511 TRUANCY CONSEQUENCES For each full day truancy episode (4 or more unexcused periods per day), the Assistant Principal may assign lunch detention or campus service and a parent meeting (SART). A student may be issued a citation by the Redlands Police Department if found loitering during class time without a pass or off-campus during school hours under (Redlands Municipal Code 9.24.040a-1). Students may be required to appear in Juvenile Traffic Court for sentencing, which could involve a fine, community service or suspension of their driver’s licenses. Repeat violations will result in one or more additional consequences which may include:

● Additional Campus Service, and additional citation

● Loss of privilege to attend and/or participate in school activities, including athletics and dances

● Referral to School Attendance Review Team (SART)

● Referral to School Attendance Review Board (SARB)

DANCE ATTENDANCE - If a student is suspended, for whatever reason, within 45-school days of an RHS dance, they will be excluded from attending that dance. In addition, 45 period absences (including detentions, incomplete/non-compliant Short Term Independent Study, suspensions and all truancies or Attendance Codes: A, B, C, D, S & L) will lead a student to be excluded from attending any dance during the current semester (Per RHS Attendance Policy, “Upon returning to school a student must turn in a note to the Attendance Office within 48 hours. Students failing to do so will be marked truant.”). This policy will remain in effect until the day of the dance. In this situation, the student will be excluded for the dance and they will receive a reimbursement for the cost of their ticket. RHS nor RUSD is not responsible for any costs incurred in preparation for the dance (dresses, tuxedos, limousines, etc.). HEALTH SERVICES - Students who are ill may go home with the consent of the Health Technician if they have turned in an Emergency Release Card and after the Technician has contacted a parent or guardian listed on the Emergency Release Card. Parent contact will be made from the Health Office. No calls will be made from classrooms. When leaving school because of illness, students are required to obtain an Absence Permit from the Health Tech and to sign out in the Health Office or they will be charged with truancy from class. Students should return their Absence Permit upon their return to school to the Attendance Office within 48 hours. MEDICATIONS - Any student who is required to take medication during school hours must have the following information on file in the Health Office:

1. Parent Note
2. Doctor’s note on the RUSD form.
3. Labeled medication. INJURIES - All injuries, no matter how slight, should be reported to the Health Technician. The Technician will assess the injury, give first aid, and decide what further steps should be taken. OFFICE HOURS - The Health Office is open from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m..

Redlands High School Tardy Policy

Redlands High School believes that success in school is dependent upon punctual, regular attendance and quality instructional minutes. It is also our goal to instill skills necessary for college and career readiness, including but not limited to: responsibility, organization, punctuality and respect. To this end, students must regularly attend class on time, ready to learn. Tardiness is defined as:

1. A student who is not in his or her classroom or assigned instructional area when the bell rings.
2. Any student who is tardy by more than 30 minutes will be regarded as an unexcused absence for the period. Consequences – By period and cumulative. By Period Cumulative ● Tardy 1-4: Warning - Teacher ● Tardy 5: Lunch Detention ● Tardy 6-10: Phone call home - Teacher ● Tardy 10: Lunch Detention and Campus Service ● Tardy 11+: Cumulative consequences apply ● Tardy 1-10: Teacher warning ● Tardy 11: Lunch Detention ● Tardy 15: Lunch Detention – phone call home ● Tardy 21+: Referral to administration and Campus Service; placed on no-go list ● Tardy 31: Referral to administration – Campus Service, SART Referral Lunch Detentions will be held every Tuesday and Thursday in Terrier Detention on North Campus. Campus Service will be held every Monday after school. Students must report to South Campus Administration Office by 3 :45pm. Failure to serve a lunch detention will result in a rescheduled lunch detention PLUS campus service. Further failures to serve will result in progressive discipline by administration. Distance Learning: If a student fails to report to their online class within the first five minutes, they will be marked tardy. Excessive tardies will be referred to administration.

Rules and Regulations

STUDENT VEHICLES - A student parking area for registered student vehicles is provided on South Campus in the Terrier Gym parking lot. However, the school assumes no responsibility for any theft or vandalism that may occur. You park your cars in the parking areas at your own risk. All student cars must be registered and must display a school parking tag. To obtain a tag, you must first pay $2.00 at the Finance Office. Then, bring your receipt, your driver’s license and vehicle information to the North Campus Office where you will fill out a vehicle registration card and receive your parking tag. Students MAY NOT park in Faculty Parking Areas, Visitor Parking Areas, or fire lanes. Violators are subject to towing or booting. On-campus supervisors and/or Redlands Police Department will ticket parking violators. All vehicles are subject to search. STUDENT VISITORS - NO student visitors are allowed during the day on the RHS campus. DELIVERIES - Messages and deliveries (such as flowers, homework, lunch money, transportation appointments, or balloons) are not sent to students in their classrooms, as this disrupts the learning environment and creates liability on the part of school personnel. All RUSD schools have closed campuses. The spirit of the closed campus is that no items, including food items, may be delivered. Should a gift or florist shop deliver to the school, the delivery will be refused. No meal deliveries will be accepted at RHS for students, including DoorDash, UberEats, Postmates, direct restaurant delivery, or any other meal delivery service. SMOKING - School Board policy prohibits the use of tobacco in any form on or near the RHS campus. Violation of this rule can result in school consequences including lunch detention and after school campus service and may result in a citation from the Redlands Police Department. DISCIPLINE - The policy set by the Board of Education of the Redlands Unified School District, in support of the aims of public education, states that the behavior of pupils attending public schools shall reflect the citizenship demanded of members in a democratic society. Self-discipline (responsibility for one's actions) is one of the important goals of education. The Board of Education believes education is a right of American youth; however, the right of education is dependent upon the pupil's willingness to perform those duties required upon attendance in public schools. The Redlands Police Department will issue citations for smoking, fighting, closed campus violations, and daylight loitering. SUSPENSION - Students may be suspended for up to five (5) days for the following reasons:

1. Caused, attempted to cause, or threatened to cause physical injury to another person.
2. Willfully used force upon another person.
3. Possessed, sold, or otherwise furnished any weapon.
4. Unlawfully possessed, used, or sold a controlled substance.
5. Unlawfully offered, arranged, or negotiated to sell any controlled substance listed in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11053) of Division 10 of the Health and Safety Code, an alcoholic beverage, or an intoxicant of any kind, and then either sold, delivered. Or otherwise furnished to any person another liquid, substance, or material and represented the liquid as a controlled substance, alcoholic beverage, or intoxicant.
6. Committed or attempted to commit robbery or extortion.

15. Harassed, threatened, or intimidated a pupil who is a complaining witness in a school disciplinary proceeding.
16. Possession or use of any electronic signaling device that operates through the transmission or receipt of radio waves, including, but not limited to, paging and signaling equipment.

22. The Principal or Superintendent of Schools shall immediately suspend, pursuant to EC48911, and shall recommend expulsion of a pupil that he or she determines has committed any of the following at school or a school activity off school grounds.

a) Possession, selling, or otherwise furnishing a firearm. b) Brandishing a knife at another person. c) Unlawfully selling a controlled substance. d) Committing or attempted to commit a sexual assault or sexual battery as defined in subdivision (n) of 48900. MANDATORY EXPULSION RECOMMENDATION WILL RESULT FROM THE FOLLOWING :

1. Causing serious physical injury or aiding and abetting or attempting physical injury to another person.
2. Possession of any firearm, knife, explosive, or other dangerous object of no reasonable use to the pupil at school or at a school activity off school grounds.
3. Unlawful sale of any controlled substance.
4. Robbery or extortion. SEXUAL HARASSMENT - The RHS administration and staff are committed to maintaining a learning environment free of harassment. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual behavior (physical, verbal, or nonverbal) that makes the student uncomfortable. Students and Staff are encouraged to report an observed instance of sexual harassment even where the victim of the harassment has not complained. It's probably sexual harassment if the person feels angry, offended, uncomfortable, or threatened as a result of the action. It does not matter what the harasser intended. A pupil may be suspended from school or recommended for expulsion if it is determined that the pupil has committed sexual harassment. Additionally, public displays of affection must be appropriate at all times. Prolonged hugging, kissing, sitting on laps, etc. will result in warnings and, if continued, disciplinary action. If you have any concerns about sexual harassment see a counselor or an administrator. DAMAGE TO SCHOOL PROPERTY - Parents or guardians of students who willfully deface or damage school property will be held liable for all damages. Eighteen-year-old students will be held liable as adults. This applies to textbooks and other materials issued to the students. Students are expected to pay fees for damaged or lost books or materials before the end of school; if fines are not paid, the diploma will be withheld. Students and parents who refuse to pay fines will be referred to the Superintendent of Schools for legal action. CAMPUS - Areas of the campus may also be restricted because of health and safety issues or problems if noise is distracting from educational services. TEXTBOOKS - The textbook room is located by the North Campus faculty parking lot and is open from 7:30AM-4:00PM every school day. Parents and students may view both textbooks and library books checked out to students, book fines, and textbook guidelines online @ http://Library.redlandsusd.net. Click on “Redlands High School” / Click on “Login” in the upper right-hand corner / Type in student’s RHS Username (first 6 letters of last name first 2 letters of first name 6 digit birthday) / Type in student’s RHS Password (last 5 digits of student’s long ID

located on ID card) / Click on the “My Info” tab at the top of the screen.

INTERNET - Students must agree to the RUSD Acceptable Use Policy in order to be able to access the RUSD network. Any deviation from this policy may result in disciplinary action. WEBSITE GUIDELINES - Officially recognized RHS clubs, organizations, and departments who wish to create and publish sites online must first have ALL content approved by the Principal. In addition, all web sites intended to reflect officially recognized RHS clubs, organizations, and departments MUST be part of the official RHS domain ( http://www.rhs.redlandsusd.net). Strictly Prohibited: Any advertisements and/or opportunities to email partners from school or District sites without the express written permission of the parent/guardian of the student(s) involved. Copies of the RUSD Release for Publication Form are available from the RUSD Technology Coordinator and in both the North and South Campus offices. RULES ON CAMPUS - The California Education Code states that all students shall comply with the regulations, pursue the required course of study, and submit to the authority of the teachers. Continued disobedience or open and persistent defiance of a teacher will result in suspension or expulsion from school. LOCKER ROOMS - Only use school issued locks on lockers. All non-school locks will be cut off. Locks left on more than one period will be cut off. Keep all belongings locked in your assigned basket. During P.E. class, you may use a long locker for your backpacks and other belongings. Do not share baskets or lockers. All book bags are to be locked up during the period. Locker rooms are open 5 minutes at the beginning and end of the period only. Locker rooms will not be opened during the period. ● CONSEQUENCES: The first time belongings are not locked up, they will be confiscated and you will be issued a written warning which you must sign and date for belongings to be returned to you. Additional infractions could result in OCS with the possibility of a grade drop. Your parents and counselor will be notified and the teacher will follow-up with RHS discipline and attendance policies. BULLYING - The district has a network use policy that states that computers and the school network will be used appropriately on campus, including any time on the internet. However, it needs to be noted that your communications off campus can also become a problem at school. If you inappropriately use computers at home to threaten, bully, sexually harass, or explicitly text, otherwise known as “sexting,” other students and it becomes a disruption on campus, you will be disciplined at school. Before you post, text, or comment, be sure to read the following guidelines, as these “innocent” statements can affect you well into the future. Consider the following: ● You can be suspended, expelled, and/or arrested for your comments.
