Teachers may further define acts, in writing, that constitute violations of the Honor Code in their classrooms. These acts will be explained to each class and will be effective thereafter for that class;

When a teacher believes there has been an Honor Code infraction, the teacher will inform the student of the infraction and the suggested consequence. At the time of the incident, the teacher will inform the Assistant Principal who will then follow up with the student.

The student is responsible for informing within twelve hours his/her parent(s) or guardian(s) of an alleged or actual violation of the Honor Code. The teacher will inform the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the incident after the twelvehour period.
