Student Honor Code
As an Eastview Scholar, I demonstrate Lightning P.R.I.D.E. by acting with integrity— doing what is right, even when it is tough. I understand that integrity builds trust, improves my learning, and prepares me for success beyond high school.

How to Promote Academic Integrity
As an Eastview student, I will
•ALWAYS take responsibility and submit work that reflects my own learning which includes
• completing work independently and acknowledging collaboration when permitted
• completing quizzes, tests, and exams honestly and according to my teacher’s expectations
• accurately reporting observations, data, and results in research, labs, and other assigned learning
•ONLY collaborate or share work on assignments, projects, or exams when my teacher gives permission
•NEVER allow unauthorized collaboration (including AI) on assigned learning or share test question information
•ALWAYS use technology responsibly (tools, websites, notes, apps, camera, devices or other resources, including AI)
•ALWAYS remember my responsibility to uphold the Eastview Student Honor Code if asked by a peer to cheat or if tempted on my own to cheat
•LEARN to use appropriate citations for previously published work (documents, web content, AI, video, or audio). I will give credit when I use the ideas, words, or work of others
•ASK a teacher when in doubt
Violations
Eastview has installed a three tier system to define the various violations of academic integrity. All possible examples are not listed.
Not every situation fits perfectly into one tier. Our response to a violation is intended to support learning, restore trust, and hold
students accountable. The student’s intent, the impact of the violation, the student’s prior history, and the opportunity for the student to honestly demonstrate their learning will be considered. Academic and behavioral responses will be determined separately, as appropriate.
Tier 1: Learning Mistakes & Poor Judgment
These situations often result from misunderstanding expectations or making poor decisions rather than intentionally misrepresenting learning.
- Misunderstanding assignment or citation expectations
