At Metro Nashville Public Schools, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of honesty and ethical behavior. As a member of this academic community, I commit to uphold these values in all my educational pursuits.
My Commitments
- I will be honest in all my academic work and interactions with teachers and peers.
- I will respect intellectual property by properly acknowledging and citing the contributions of others. This includes not plagiarizing or misusing digital content.
- I will engage in fair opportunity for all, avoiding any form of cheating during exams or when completing assignments.
- I will take responsibility for my actions and learn from my mistakes. I will report any instances of academic dishonesty I may witness.
- I will demonstrate courage by upholding these principles, even when faced with challenges or peer pressure.
Together
I join my peers in fostering an environment of mutual trust and respect, where we all strive to achieve our best through honest and fair efforts.
Support
I know that mistakes can happen and that I might need support understanding expectations or how to properly cite sources. I will seek guidance from my teachers, when necessary, as they are here to help me learn and succeed with integrity.
Consequences
I understand that if I violate these principles of academic integrity, such as through cheating, plagiarism, or other dishonest practices, I will face disciplinary actions. These consequences can range from a warning to redoing the assignment, suspension, or other measures appropriate to the severity of the violation.
