3 more weeks til the end of semester 1!

 Hope you all had a fun, food and family-filled weekend and are ready for the beginning of the holiday rush and end of quarter 2 or semester one!   There are just three more weeks left in this quarter/semester…has your student:

·         Completed AR reading for English? 
·         Done all Achieve articles assigned? 
·         Completed all papers/essays/research for each class? 
·         Studied for all tests and quizzes?

Please encourage your student to finish strong this month.  Recently, we have had a number of students plagiarize and or copy entire sections off of the internet or off another students’ work and turn it in as their own.  While the immediate consequence for academic dishonesty is a suspension and re-doing the required work, the long-term consequence is students don’t learn the content or class material and that will come back to haunt him or her later on a test as teachers spiral student learning – in other words, each week they continuously build upon what was taught in previous weeks.  Please help us to remind students that it doesn’t pay to take a short cut or easy way out and turn in work that is copied word for word or cut and pasted from someone else’s assignment.

Have a good week everyone.
