We expect all students at Nathan Hale are academically honest. Nathan Hale High School considers cheating or academic dishonesty to be a serious violation of school rules and our code of scholarly conduct. Because of this, Nathan Hale has adopted procedures to discipline students who: Use ideas or written material from other sources/students, professional writers, internet notes/study guides without acknowledging the source in their own writing. Use or copy another student's homework when not authorized by the teacher to do so. Allow other students to use their work on assignments when not authorized by the teacher to do so. Receive or provide information during a test when not authorized by the teacher to do so. Receive or provide information on tests given during an earlier period.Use unauthorized material on tests. The official school consequences are: The student will earn a 0 on the plagiarized assignment The student’s parent/guardian will be informed. The school administration will be informed. For all offenses after the first, the student will be suspended short- or long-term per official Seattle School District policy Staff members may refuse to write any letters of recommendation and, if asked, may disclose this offense to post-secondary institutions. The student will be asked to find the author/source of the information and write a formal letter of apology for the intellectual pilfering - the stealing of someone else’s ideas.
