Examination Conduct
Please review the Academic Honesty Policy for expectations regarding conduct surrounding all assignments and assessments.
The school educates towards integrity and fairness in all aspects of school life, including exams.
Attendance on Internal Assessment days is mandatory.
In extenuating circumstances where an absence on an Internal Assessmentday and cannot be avoided, an application for exemption must be made directly to the Head of the International Program and in some cases to the IB organization.
Do not write exams in pencil or erasable ink. Do not use white-out on exams.
External Exams/Assessments are subject to the guidelines and regulations of the IB organization. These rules will be communicated to all students and families several months in advance of the External Assessment.
Cleanliness and Order:
Students are responsible to maintain the cleanliness of the school and classrooms.
Students should lift chairs onto tables at the end of the school day to facilitate cleaning of floors.
Attendance policy:
We believe that the responsibility for attendance, participation and therefore success ultimately lies with the student. Students may take up to 10% unexcused absences for each subject. These absences may not include assessment periods and other class projects that will defined in advance. Students must carefully consider any absence and decide with full knowledge of the academic and personal consequences. Exceeding 10% unexcused absences may negatively impact School Based Assessment as reflected in the reports at the end of each trimester. Students with excess absence will be summoned to a meeting with their mentor to discuss improvement in attendance. Students that will miss over 30% of a certain class will not be able attend the assessment periods for that class.
Lateness:
Lateness is disruptive to the individual and the group. Every student should be sure to arrive on time.
Lateness will be recorded in ManageBac. 3 instances of lateness will equal one absence on the attendance record.
Students later than 5 minutes will not be admitted to class and this will be recorded as an absence.
Disruptions:
A student asked to leave class by a teacher for disruptiveness will return after 5 minutes. If asked to leave twice in the same class, it will be recorded as an absence. Absence due to disruption will be recorded in Managebac and will influence assessment in the areas of social and academic functioning.
Participation in all school sponsored social activities is mandatory. Any student who knows in advance that they will miss an activity must speak with their mentor and request approval to be absent.
Gym Rules:
Mae Boyar High School is a leader in sharing the culture of healthy living. Physical education teachers are interested in helping all students overcome physical and emotional challenges. Persistence, training and practice in and out of class all contribute to success.
Throughout high school, activities and lectures are held in the field of physical activity and health.
Physical Education and Sports Activities procedures:
The Code of Conduct will be reviewed yearly by a committee of students, families, and educators.
The principles of academic honesty are communicated within the school community in various ways.
Academic Honesty – Malpractice
Malpractice includes:
IBO regulations clearly state the responsibilities of each IB student:
“The candidate (student) is ultimately responsible for ensuring that all work submitted for assessment is authentic, with the work or ideas of others fully and correctly acknowledged. Candidates are expected to comply with all internal school deadlines; this is for their own benefit and may allow time for revising work that is of doubtful authorship before the submission of the final version.” Academic Honesty (2011)
Academic Honesty Violations
An academic honesty committee is assembled to address any suspicion of academic malpractice. The student will have the opportunity to address any concerns and clarify any possible misunderstandings and correct course as needed. Incidents that are determined to be academic malpractice on any school-based or IB assessment will be addressed according to the principles of the “Yellow Card, Red Card” system: a first violation results in a warning and a second violation results in permanent dismissal from the school.
An incident of malpractice on any IB internal assessment once a warning has been issued, is addressed in the following manner:
An incident of malpractice or misconduct during an IB exam is addressed in the following manner:

International Baccalaureate Organization (September 2016), General Regulations, Geneva, Switzerland: IBO.
Note:
All IB students at MBHS are subject to the regulations contained in the official IBO documents entitled “Academic Honesty Policy” and “General Regulations: Diploma Program.”
Acknowledged as a working document, the MBHS International Academic Honesty Policy is reviewed annually by the IB coordinator, IB teachers and school administration.
The academic honesty policies for various schools available online and those posted on the OCC site were examined, and it was concluded that, in many cases, our policy concurs with the phrasing of some of their policy components.
