Foundationally, the Dean prioritizes healthy relationships, safe choices, and wise freedom - operating within the lens of preventative strategies, progressive discipline, and restorative practices.

A student violating the academic honesty policy is subject to disciplinary action which can include but is not limited to point deduction or zero points on the assignment; lowered grade; detention; teacher may decline to write a letter of recommendation or report dishonesty in a letter, or rescind a recommendation letter already submitted.
Cell Phone Use
We embrace the opportunities and variety that technology brings to education, but not all learning can be done digitally. We encourage students to stay focused and to keep their devices safe during class time. If students are unable to be responsible with their devices and technology, progressive interventions will be enforced.
