    Cheating/Plagiarism Policy (taken directly fromstudent handbook)

    Cheating is defined as the giving or receiving of outside help on anything (including homework) that has been determined by the teacher to be an individual effort.  Any student who is caught cheating will automatically receive a zero on the assignment. Plagiarism is a violation against academic ethics.  Examples of plagiarism are stealing,borrowing, buying, or copying someone else’s work (e.g. homework, lab reports,take-home tests, and research papers). This also includes using an online translator which often have errors.

     

    Parent Portal

    I strongly encourage the use ofthe Methacton Parent Portal as an aid to help parents monitor their child’sacademic progress. 

    Students are also encouraged toaccess the Portal to track their grades. Grades are updated approximately once a week.

    If you have any concerns orquestions please e-mail me at mtarlecki@methacton.org.

     

    Computer Use Policy

    Students will be using computers for many purposes,including research, generating graphs, and word processing.  Any student who is using the computer in aninappropriate manner, such as accessing unapproved web sites, may lose computerprivileges. 

     

    Absences

    • Upon your return, check with your teachers to see what you missed. 
    • Get missed notes and assignments from a friend and check my website.
    • Arrange to make up quizzes, tests. All tests must be made up within one week of the original date given.
    • You have two days for every day absent to make up work due to illness. If on vacation all assignments are due upon return.
    • If absent one day before a test, you will still be expected to take the test upon returning to school.
    • Planning on missing school due to a vacation?  Be sure to check the student handbook for Methacton’s vacation policy.
