Havergal College Course Calendar, 2021-22 Academic Year

Detentions Detentions are given for infractions of the school rules. At their discretion, teachers may have students serve a detention for minor or in-class infractions privately with them, or they may assign a formal detention, which will be served on Tuesdays after school. When student behaviour is considered to be deliberate (e.g., skipping a class or Prayers, vandalism), the student is sent to the Head, Senior School, who may assign a two-hour Saturday morning detention. Saturday morning detentions, which are supervised by teachers, are served in Number One Dress and are held in the Ellen Knox Library from 9 to 11 am.

Students will: 1. understand and/or seek clarification regarding the requirements for the course and the course assessments; 2. know the different forms of cheating and plagiarism and how to avoid them; 3. cite sources appropriately and correctly; 4. produce course work and write tests without plagiarizing or cheating; and 5. understand that there will be consequences for being caught in the act of cheating or plagiarizing. Parents will: 1. understand the different forms of academic dishonesty; 2. support the process that investigates and concludes upon allegations of academic dishonesty; and 3. understand there will be consequences for students who are academically dishonest. When a Case of Academic Dishonesty Arises The benefit of the doubt will always be accorded to a student; however, when it has been determined beyond a reasonable doubt that cheating or plagiarizing has occurred, the following investigation and documentation process will occur. When deemed warranted, the consequences of academic dishonesty will vary depending on the nature of the incident, the age of the student and other mitigating factors. In general, repeat offences and offences committed by senior students are treated more severely. Investigation and Documentation The following illustrates typical consequences that follow an incident of academic dishonesty: 1. The teacher will inform and consult with his/her department head to determine the appropriate course of action. The Department Head may decide to consult with the VP, Teaching & Learning. 2. The teacher will inform the student of his/her concerns and provide the student with the opportunity to respond to these concerns. 3. The teacher will inform the parent of the incident and share the information gathered from the meeting with the student. 4. When deemed warranted, the teacher can do any or all of the following: • have the student revise the assessment, in whole or in part; • have the student complete another assessment; and/or • assign a mark of zero. 5. The incident will be documented electronically and a record of the incident will be placed in the student communication file, the contents of which remain confidential and separate from a student’s official Ministry of Education Ontario Student Record (OSR).

Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement

Parent and student compliance and/or consent with this agreement is mandatory.

Philosophy and Purpose Havergal College (the “College”) provides a wide array of information and communication technology resources to support and enable Havergal’s mission. The College has a dual approach for providing such resources for student use: • College owned desktops, laptops, tablets and audio-visual devices are provided for learners in some courses requiring specialized equipment and software (“College Technology”). College Technology also includes the College network (intranet and internet). • A ‘Bring Your Own Device’ approach is in place for students in Grades 7 to 12. This approach requires students to personally select, purchase, and maintain their own personal electronic devices (“PEDs”) for use on College premises and for the College’s purposes and activities. The purpose of this Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement (the “Agreement”) is to ensure that parents and students of the Havergal community understand the expectations that govern activity on College Technology and PEDs. Using College Technology or PEDs on College premises, while connected to College Technology, or for the College’s purposes and activities requires agreement with the statements below that define ‘acceptable use’. This Agreement should be read and understood in conjunction with the Havergal College Code of Conduct, and the Havergal College Harassment Policy and Managing Personal Devices Guidelines. Terms of Acceptable Use 1. You will support the College and your peers in protecting your digital information to promote the healthy use of College Technology, PEDs and digital ecosystem. 2. Your Havergal account, and any accounts created for your courses belong to you alone. You are accountable for actions taken using your accounts. 3. You will only use your accounts, and not use another person’s accounts.
