Virtual Learning Code of Conduct 10

PREFECT FOR DISCIPLINE OFFICE
Virtual Learning Code of Conduct

Although our classroom environment is virtual (online), the standards of behavior are as
important as they are in brick and mortar schools. In other words, our virtual classrooms are real
classrooms with real teachers; therefore, appropriate student behavior is expected. To ensure that
all students understand how to behave in an online environment, we have developed a code of
conduct that all students are required to follow.
All SJC students receiving digital curriculum and direct instruction online are subject to
any applicable policies and this Student Virtual Learning Code of Conduct. As a virtual learning
student, there are additional rules and expectations regarding prior online etiquette in place in
order to protect all students and all staff members. Access to remote learning must be used in a
responsible, safe, efficient, ethical, and legal manner.
All members of the school community must:
 Demonstrate honesty and integrity

 Respect the differences in people, their ideas and opinions
 Treat one another with respect and dignity especially when there is disagreement
 Respect and treat others fairly
 Respect the rights of others
 Demonstrate respect for others especially those in positions of authority
 Respect the need of others to work in an environment that is conducive learning and
teaching in an online setting
 Be courteous and polite at all times especially in electronic mail exchanges
In addition all students must take note of the following:
 Be responsible for proper behavior during online learning. Always use a computer in
a way that shows consideration and respect. It is not acceptable to use obscene, profane,
threatening, or disrespectful language.
 Take integrity and authenticity of student work very seriously. Do not cut, copy, or
plagiarize Internet content or the work of your online classmates. Teachers do utilize
technologies to check for authenticity. Copying, knowingly allowing others to copy from
you, and/or misusing Internet content will result in disciplinary action.
 Security and Safety is a high priority, especially when the system involves many users.
If you identify a security and/or safety problem in the school's computers and/or
educational platform, notify: Your teacher , adviser or any other school Personnel in
Authority ( Principal , Vice – Principal , Prefect for Discipline )
 It is illegal to create harmful computer viruses.
 Remote Learning correspondence is not private. Never say, write, or record anything
that will earn you a consequence.
 Protect your passwords. Keep it secret from anyone except your parents.

Bullying, harassment, and cyber stalking are defined as inflicting physical or psychological
distress, and/or communicating words, images or language using electronic mail that causes
emotional distress. Any action by a student or parent deemed inappropriate will be fully
investigated by the appropriate.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
 Academic integrity is an ethical code, whereby the student guarantees that all work
submitted is the student’s own work.
Why is academic integrity important?
 When students submit an assignment that is not their own original work, there are two
issues involved:
 Students are earning credit for learning material for which they have not demonstrated
mastery.
 They may be violating the policies of the school
What are some examples of academic integrity violations?
 There are two kinds of academic integrity violations. One is “plagiarism” and the other
is “cheating.”
 Plagiarism - To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) a one’s own: use
(another’s production) without crediting the source.
Some examples are, but not limited to the following:
 Copying and pasting a report from the Internet and representing it as your own work
 Copying any other work and not properly citing authorship
 Cheating
 To influence or lead by deceit, trick, or artifice
 To practice fraud or trickery to violate rules dishonestly
 Providing questions/answers/ work to another student
 Receiving questions/answers/work from another student
Consequences of Violation of this Policy:
A variety of consequences will be administered when students are discovered cheating or
plagiarizing, as stated in the SJC Policies and Rules on Deportment and Discipline
Parents, as partners in supporting student learning, you are encouraged to:
 Ensure that their child’s work is authentic and original.

 Ask any questions regarding plagiarism or cheating if they are not sure.
PARENT’S/GUARDIAN’S RESPONSIBILITIES
As a parent/guardian of a virtual school student, it is very important to understand the
responsibilities associated with that role. With the many distractions students have today, it can
be difficult for some students to set aside time to work on courses when not in school. It is the
responsibility of the parent/guardian to encourage the student to manage their time in an effective
way. Teachers will keep the parent/guardian apprised of the student’s progress and will initiate
contact if they fall behind in their coursework.
Parents are expected to supervise and monitor their student’s progress throughout the
duration of the learning process, just as you would in a regular learning setting.
Parents should support Academic Integrity. Academic Integrity is one of our core values
and one of the most important areas of focus as a learning organization. Students with Academic
Integrity make decisions based on ethics and values that will prepare them to be productive and
ethical citizens.
You may contact your child’s teacher directly via email, messenger or any other platform
.When a parent/guardian has a concern about the child's performance or behavior, the
parent/guardian should set up a conference with the child's teacher.
