iPadUsage

All policies listed within the handbook are to be followed. The use of iPads in class will be treated as a privilege. Students using the iPads during class for anything other than the current assignment will lose privileges for that day. It is expected that devices be fully charged each day.

Academic Integrity

You are expected to turn in work that is 100% your own. Anything that is submitted plagiarized is subject to no credit and disciplinary action. DO NOT DO IT.
