STUDENT HANDBOOK - Hunterdon Central Regional High School

may be declared a disorderly person and subject to fine under law
(NJSA 18A 38-3, 38:25-31.)
Tardiness
The orderly conduct of class activity depends upon the prompt
and precise beginning of the program. Tardiness hinders the proper
conduct of such activity. A student who is tardy to any block will be
subject to disciplinary action as outlined in the discipline section of
this handbook. If it found that an overwhelming number of tardies
are to the same block, the student risks continued placement in the
course as this is a chronic disruption to the class. Three tardies to
a block will be considered as one absence.

Academic Conduct and Intellectual Integrity
Hunterdon Central Regional High School values intellectual
integrity and the highest standards of academic conduct. Hunterdon
Central students are responsible for following proper scholarly
procedure. Academic dishonesty, including plagiarism and cheating,
will not be tolerated at Hunterdon Central. They are offenses that
violate each of the six pillars of character: caring, citizenship,
trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, and fairness. In the case of
academic dishonesty, a grade of zero will be awarded for the
assessment/assignment, a report of misconduct will be filed, and the
student’s name will be entered in an academic misconduct file.
The following are some examples of academic dishonesty:

work;

test/exam;
