The quotient is the GPA. Class members are then ranked on the basis of their grade point average. Partial credit courses will not be included in the grade point. A partial credit course is anything less than.5 units of credit per term. This GPA and rank is always included on official transcripts.

Davenport Community Schools June 2009: 6 URLs and Web Sources In the past, MLA recommended including URLs of Web sources in works-cited-list entries. Because of the ever changing nature of the Internet, including URLs has become ineffective. Readers are now more likely to find resources on the Web by searching for titles and authors names rather than typing URLs. You should include a URL as supplementary information only when the reader probably cannot locate the source without it or when your instructor requires it. If you do present a URL, place it immediately following the date of access, a period, and a space. Enclose the URL in angle brackets, and conclude with a period. If a URL must be divided between two lines, break it only after the double slashes or a single slash. Child, L. Maria, ed. The Freedmen s Book. Boston, 866. Google Book Search.

Plagiarism Secondary Language Arts Department Procedures Davenport Community Schools Davenport, Iowa Plagiarism is the theft and use of the ideas or writing of another as one s own, or the appropriation of passages from another and use of them as one s own (American Heritage Dictionary 00). Plagiarism also applies to students who allow others to copy their work. Students are assigned writing assignments as a learning experience or as a method for them to demonstrate their understanding of their learning. Student written work is to be original. Plagiarism is not acceptable, and all participants are subject to serious consequences. Careful documentation is required on all ideas or writing that students glean from their research. This involves the use of all printed text, including the Internet. Consequences of Plagiarism: The paper(s) will receive a zero you cannot receive credit for work that is not your own. This zero will affect your quarter/ term/semester grade. If the paper is worth 00 points, you will not receive 00 points. You will be given the option to write a different paper; you must provide proof of your own work at every stage of the writing process. Presenting another s work as one s own is a serious ethical violation; it is wrong. There are consequences. If you are in doubt about the proper use of another s words or ideas in your writing, consult your teacher before submitting the paper. Please sign below and return the signed portion to your Language Arts teacher. I have read the District s Secondary Language Arts Plagiarism Procedures, and I understand the consequences of plagiarism. NOTE TAKING The best way to avoid plagiarism is to take careful notes. When taking notes, always do the following: First, read the entire text and summarize it in your own words. Then paraphrase important points and copy usable quotes. Three significant words or more need to be enclosed in quotation marks, whether or not they are actually quoted in the text. Carefully distinguish between material that is quoted, material that is paraphrased, material that is summarized, and your own words and ideas. Consider using different colored ink for each type of source or label the type of note taken, e.g., quotation, paraphrase, or summary. Include in your notes all the information you will need to cite your sources and follow the note taking as directed by the teacher. Copy all source information into your working bibliography using the MLA format. Print any Web pages you use. While online and looking at the site, write the URL and the date on the Web page if it isn t included on the printout, and record the source documentation needed for the MLA Works Cited page. Searching backwards to find the home page may be necessary. Save all your notes and printouts until you receive your final grade. CITING SOURCES You must cite the source of every quotation, every paraphrased passage, and every summarized idea you use in a research paper. Commonly known facts, such as dates, definitions, or common biographic data do not need to be cited. If you take specific, unusual, contradictory, or one-source facts directly from a specific reference source, such as an encyclopedia, you will need to cite the source. If you re not sure whether a source should be cited, include a citation, just in case. Sources must be cited BOTH in the body of the paper as an in-text citation and on the Works Cited page. In the body of the paper, you must do the following: Copy quoted material exactly, enclose it in quotations marks, and name the author immediately before or after the quote. Use the same procedure for summarized or paraphrased material, but omit the quotation marks. Cite the source information (author and page) for the quotation or paraphrased or summarized information in parentheses within the text. List on a Works Cited page at the end of your paper the information for all the sources you have cited. These sources need to be alphabetized, appear in correct MLA form, and be double-spaced as shown on the Sample Works Cited page. The Works Cited is a list of all the sources you used both those you cited and those you used for research, but did not cite directly. The Works Cited page should follow the MLA format. WRITING THE PAPER The following tips on the writing process also will help you avoid plagiarism. Read your notes carefully and make sure you understand the material before you begin to write. Write an outline and/or preliminary draft without looking at your notes. In your draft, leave spaces where you think you ll want to include quotes or supporting material. Use your own words as much as possible. No one expects you to write like an expert or a professional writer. You should, however, write like a serious, intelligent student. Cite all sources AS you write your rough draft. Trying to reconstruct your sources after the fact is extremely time consuming. Do it correctly from the start, and you won t have to start from scratch when you think you re already finished. Read through your final draft and make sure all uncited ideas are your own by Education World. Education World grants educators permission to reproduce this page for classroom use. STUDENT RECORDS ACCESS The Davenport Community School District maintains records on each student. These records contain information about the student and his/her education and may include but are not limited to the following types of records: Identification data, attendance data, record of achievement, family background, aptitude and achievement test results, educational and vocational plans, honors and activities, discipline reports, objective counselor or teacher observations, and external agency reports. Student records are periodically reviewed and inappropriate material is removed. Parents of handicapped students, or handicapped students over age 8, will be informed when personally identifiable information in the records is no longer needed to provide educational services, and before the information is destroyed. The records of each student are generally located in the school, which the student is attending. Parents of students under age 8 and students over age 8 (eligible student) may exercise the opportunity to review educational records of the student. Copies of student records will be made available to parents and eligible students at a reasonable cost. The fee shall be waived if it would keep the parent or student from viewing the records. Requests from parents or eligible students to view student records will be honored without unnecessary delay and in no instance more than 45 days after the request is made

69 DISTRICT POLICIES Cell Phones and Electronic Devices The Board recognizes the potential need for our students to communicate with their families under certain circumstances while they are attending school. The District offers the use of school phones as the first means of communication if the need arises during and after school hours. We want to ensure that cell phones or other electronic devices do not interfere with classroom instruction or cause any other problems for students or staff while on District property. During the instructional day, students may not use cell phones or other electronic devices unless given written permission from the principal/assistant principal. Under no circumstances are cell phones or other electronic devices to be used to take photos or audio/video recordings of students in locker rooms, restrooms, or other private situations at school or at District sponsored activities. It is the responsibility of the Superintendent or superintendent s designee, in conjunction with the building principal, to develop a standard administrative regulation for this policy to provide consistency throughout the District for students. Phones are to be turned off and out of sight during the instructional day. If a devices has been confiscated the parents/ guardians will be notified as such and are required to pick up the device from the school. SCHOOL DRESS It is expected that students will wear clean and appropriate clothing. Inappropriate dress will result in a student being asked to change. Shoes must be worn in the building. In keeping with accepted etiquette, students are not allowed to wear hats, caps or sunglasses indoors. Chains and laser pointers are not allowed. Gang and satanic symbols are not to be displayed at any time. Clothing that reveals the navel or allows undergarments to show (i.e. muscle shirts, midriff, halter tops, spaghetti straps, and pajamas) will not be allowed. Coats and jackets (i.e. outerwear or anything that you would wear over your clothing) are to be stored in the student s locker and not worn to class. Extremes in appearance that are determined to cause a distraction to the learning environment for middle level students are not acceptable. While the primary responsibility for appearance rests with students and their parents/guardians, the administration reserves the right to judge what is appropriate and what is not. DISCIPLINE Davenport Community School Districts discipline policy is an attempt to change inappropriate behavior. In general, it has been found that the parents/guardians of Davenport Community School District have been supportive in the discipline measures taken to modify their child s behavior. The different climates and curriculum presented in each class offer diverse learning opportunities to meet the needs of each student. When guest teachers are in the building, exemplary conduct is expected of students. Any student sent to the office as the result of a behavioral referral from a guest teacher will be disciplined. All teachers of the Davenport Community Schools have a uniform policy to handle discipline in their classrooms. There are, however, general guidelines that will be used for classroom management: ) All classroom teachers will conduct instruction in a positive environment. Each student is expected to behave in a respectful manner within that environment. 2) Each student is expected to act responsibly toward academic expectations and to strive to achieve his/her personal best. If the need arises, the administration will intervene as warranted. Proactive Disciplinary Position K-2 ASSAULT Assault (verbal) assault on school employees or on the part of one student to another may result in an out-of-school suspension with possible referral to the appropriate Achievement Service Center administrator for a Disciplinary Hearing or Administrative Council Hearing where a recommendation for expulsion* could be made depending upon the severity and circumstances of the act. ASSAULT AND BATTERY Assault and battery on school employee(s) or on the part of one student to another student will be dealt with firmly. Students engaging in this type of behavior will be subject to the discipline code of the school district, which will include an out-of-school suspension and a referral to the appropriate ASC administrator for a Disciplinary Hearing or Administrative Council Hearing where a recommendation for expulsion* could be made depending upon the severity. Bullying Behavior As we begin a new school year, the District s Board of Education and Superintendent wish to remind District students, parents/guardians, staff, and volunteers that harassment and bullying of students is against the law and District policy. The District will not tolerate harassment or bullying of students based on the student s actual or perceived traits or characteristics, including: age, color, creed, national origin, race, religion, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical attributes, physical or mental ability or disability, ancestry, political party preference, political belief, socioeconomic status, familial status, or any other trait or characteristic protected by law. Any student who believes he or she has been subject to harassment, bullying or a hostile environment based on one or more of the characteristics noted above whether such harassment, bullying or hostile environment is created by a fellow student, school employee, parent/guardian, or volunteer is encouraged to report the conduct to school personnel and or Dr. Erica Goldstone, Director of Equity and Student Support at The District has a policy in place (Board Policy 504.0) to address complaints regarding harassment, bullying and hostile environment, and is committed to conducting a prompt investigation into any complaints it receives. Students engaging bullying behavior may receive consequences including but not limited to; counseling, a safety plan, or an out-of-school suspension with possible referral to the appropriate ASC administrator for a possible Disciplinary Hearing or Administrative Council Hearing. Please see Board Policy for the District s complete Anti-Bullying/Anti-Harassment Policy for its students on the district website ( The District asks that everyone students, parents, staff, volunteers, and others in the District community work together to prevent acts of bullying or harassment of any kind. Davenport Schools has an anti-bullying policy and procedures to show to all children, parents/guardians, and staff that bullying, either physical or verbal, is not tolerated in school. According to Iowa Code section harassment and bullying shall be construed to mean any electronic, written, verbal, or physical act or conduct toward a student which is based on any actual or perceived trait or characteristic of the student AND which creates an objectively hostile school environment that meets one or more of the following conditions: ) places the student in reasonable fear of harm to the student s person or property; 2) has a substantially detrimental effect on the student s physical or mental health; 3) Has the effect of substantially interfering with the students academic performance; 4) Has the effect of substantially interfering with the student s ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or privileges provided by a school. Bullying need not necessarily be direct but may take a less visible and indirect form such as social isolation and exclusion from the group. Bullying knows no boundaries of age, gender, race, disability, or ethnic background. DRUGS AND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA The Davenport Community School District will not tolerate the possession, distribution, sale, or use of tobacco, drugs or drug paraphernalia on school grounds. This would include alcohol and any look-alikes. In all cases of possession or use, the student will be removed from school. In the event of a second offense of possession or use, the student will receive an out-of-school suspension and be referred to the appropriate Administrative Service Center (ASC) administrator for a Disciplinary Hearing or Administrative Council Hearing where a recommendation for expulsion/exclusion* could be made. Any student involved in the distribution or sale of drugs (illegal, prescription, or look-alikes) will receive an out-of-school suspension and be referred to the appropriate ASC administrator for a Disciplinary Hearing or Administrative Council Hearing where a recommendation for expulsion* could be made. FIGHTING Fighting is considered a severe breach of school discipline. All students willingly participating in a physical confrontation (fighting) may receive an out-of-school suspension. In addition, there could possibly be a referral to the appropriate ASC administrator for a Disciplinary Hearing or Administrative Council Hearing where a recommendation for expulsion* could be made. GANG ACTIVITIES Gang-related activities growing out of the display of colors, symbols, signals, signs, etc., will not be tolerated on school grounds. Students in violation will receive an out-of-school suspension and may be referred to the appropriate ASC administrator for a Disciplinary Hearing or Administrative Council Hearing where a recommendation for expulsion* could be made. WEAPONS The Davenport Board of Education intends to provide a safe environment in which students and staff can learn and work. The possession of any item designed to harm people, such as guns, knives, brass knuckles, martial arts weapons, chains, laser pointer, etc., is prohibited. Look-a-like items such as play toy guns, pellet guns, homemade knives and weapons, projectile objects, slingshots, etc. are also prohibited. Any student in possession of any of these items on school grounds will receive an out-of-school suspension and be referred to the appropriate ASC administrator for a Disciplinary Hearing or Administrative Council Hearing where a recommendation for expulsion* could be made. A report will also be filed with the appropriate law enforcement agency. * Only the Board of Education has the authority to expel a student..the term expulsion is in reference to regular education students only. When a special needs student is referred to the Board because of a major breach of discipline, the term exclusion is used..our district is required to provide some type of alternative educational services for students falling into the special needs category The information shared in this document supercedes any information previously published and/or distributed by the Davenport Community School District

Photo Release and Media Contact As a public entity, the Davenport Community School District promotes an open-door philosophy that includes welcoming the news media to visit schools. News reporters and photographers frequently are invited to cover student and staff achievement as well as innovative programs in our schools. This is done so the community will better understand and support our important mission of education. The school administrator or a designee supervises all media visits to the school, ensuring they are conducted in a way that does not disrupt nor detract from classroom learning and student welfare. The best interests of students always are a top priority during such visits. Administrators will assist media representatives in choosing students to interview or photograph/videotape, being sensitive to obtain at least verbal parent/guardian permission if there is any question in mind that the parent/guardian may or may not approve of their student participating. To assist in this process, parents/guardians who do not want their students to be interviewed or photographed/videotaped at anytime or for any reason at school are encouraged to contact the school office at (list phone number here) so this fact can be recorded.

No discrimination against any person with a disability will knowingly be permitted in any of the programs, practices or activities sponsored by the school. The Davenport Community School District has responsibilities under Section 504, which included the obligation to identify, evaluate, and if the student is determined to be eligible under Section 504, to afford access to appropriate educational services.

Unsafe School Option Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 200, section 9532, each state receiving federal funds is required to establish and implement a statewide policy requiring that a student attending a persistently dangerous public elementary or secondary school or who becomes a victim of a violent criminal offense while in or on the school grounds of a public elementary or secondary public school that the student attends, will be allowed to attend a safe school within the district.
