2011-2012 ELECTRONIC DEVICE USE
Personal electronic devices, including but not limited to cell phones, iPods, CD players, MP3 players, pagers, etc., pose a disruption to
the educational process. Furthermore, these devices are targets of student theft and are seldom recovered. The school does not accept
responsibility for loss or theft of any of these items while on campus or at school events. Students are expected to leave these items at
home. Students using or displaying any electronic devices during school hours (8:40 a.m. – 3:05 p.m.) will have them
confiscated and will be subject to discipline.
First offense: The device will be held in the main office. A warning referral will be written and the student may pick up the device at
the end of the school day.
Second offense: The device will be held in the main office for parent/guardian pick up. The student will receive written warning.
Third offense: Item will be confiscated and held until the end of the school year to be picked up by parent/guardian. Student will
receive final written warning.
Failure to surrender the item will result in discipline as described in the KSD Policies 3200 and 3241, addressing “defiance of school
authority.” Sanctions range from detention to long-term suspension.
If parents need to contact their student during school hours, they should call the attendance office at (253) 373-6881.
GOAL: To articulate those successful behaviors that will create a pathway from the classroom to the world of work.
The following if practiced today, will increase your prospect for success this school year and on the job tomorrow.
1. Show respect for yourself and others. In the workplace, interpersonal effectiveness is highly valued. Employees who are respectful and
work well with others create a positive environment; such an environment positively impacts employees’ morale and productivity, customer
satisfaction, and, as a consequence, an employer’s profits.
2. Use appropriate language and non-verbal behavior in class. It is important to dress appropriately. In the workplace, you are evaluated by
how you represent yourself.
3. Come to class prepared with tools necessary to do the job. Employers value employees who consistently make the most of their time on the
job and thus contribute to an employer’s productivity by being both efficient and effective.
4. Attend class and be on time every day. Students with unexcused absences will not be allowed to make up missed assignments or work. Many
activities can only be completed at school; make-up work is not possible or allowed for some activities. Three tardies equal one hour of after
school detention; it is your responsibility to make arrangements to make up tardies in a timely fashion. Employers value employees who are
dependable. Absenteeism and/or tardiness is the number one reason for termination of employment. The Kentlake attendance policy will be
followed. You must be in attendance 81 days per semester to receive credit.
5. Make-up work will be completed one week after the absence and is your responsibility to get the assignments missed. Students will not
receive full credit for late work. Tests may not be made up during class time. Employers expect you to complete missed work in a timely
manner.
6. Cheating will not be tolerated in the classroom. Dishonesty in the workplace is grounds for disciplinary action or termination.
7. Appropriate use of the Internet is a must---no e-mail, chatting, downloading, inappropriate sites, etc. Inappropriate use of the Internet is
quickly becoming the number one reason for termination of employment.
GRADES: Grades are the school’s equivalent of pay in the workplace. Expect to succeed and be rewarded.

CHEATING/PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is defined as using someone else’s words or ideas without telling everyone where the words came from.
Examples of plagiarism include:
Cutting/pasting text from electronic sources without citing
Putting your name on other people’s work…includes having someone write your paper, buying a paper,
downloading a paper from online services
Not giving proper credit or citing someone else’s unique words and original ideas, research, works, pictures,
music, video and other forms of communication
Using anyone’s old project/paper
Changing only a few words, sentences, or phrases, and saying they are your own
Not using quotation marks when copying exactly someone’s words, sentences, phrases, etc.
Paraphrasing carelessly, documenting poorly, quoting excessively or failing to use your own voice
Consequences for plagiarism includes:
1st Offense: 0 or ―F‖ on the assignment or test. The teacher will make a telephone call to the student’s
parent/guardian and a letter from an administrator will follow. The letter will notify the parent/guardian of the
cheating and/or plagiarism and the consequences if a 2 nd offense were to occur.
2nd Offense: Removal from the class with a loss of credit.
Note: Altering a teacher’s grade book will cause the student to be removed from the class with a loss of
credit on the first offense.
WORKPLACE MAINTENANCE:
1) Food and drink are not allowed in the workplace.
2) Recycling of paper and maintenance of a clean workplace are expected.
3) For system security reasons, outside disks are not allowed.
4) Student I.D. with current Internet sticker is required.

work environment to enhance your ability to work effectively.
