Sometimes cheating is reported by a student rather than a teacher. Any student who feels certain that he or she has observed cheating may discuss the matter with the classroom teacher, the department head, his or her advisor or the head of school. If the cheating report is credible, it will be investigated and a recommendation will be made to the Head of School. The Head of School has full discretion in resolving cases concerning infractions of school rules. Students may be sent to the head of school.
Violators are subject to probation, suspension or dismissal.
Students and their parents are informed of the nature of the offense charged and are afforded the opportunity to respond to the allegations in a manner prescribed by the head of school. The head is the final arbiter and court of last resort for any appeal. Probation is a status which implies a 'watchful attitude' by the school. A student may be, for disciplinary reasons, placed on probation for a definite or indefinite period of time. Further violation of school rules may result in suspension or dismissal.
