Academic Integrity:

Students are expected to meet academic challenges with the highest degree of integrity and honesty. When questions arise about research or learning activities, students should demonstrate the discipline necessary to seek guidance from their teacher, rather than resorting to inappropriate behaviors that may undermine their own academic integrity and the learning process.

All students should read and understand the CBS Academic Integrity Policy, and ask questions or seek clarification if they are unsure of how that policy relates to academic work in general or to specific assignments for this course. Consequences will result when this policy is violated.

I encourage any student or parent to contact me as soon as possible should any problems or concerns arise about a student’s performance or progress. If any parent would like an up-to-date progress report, please contact me at
