Honor+Code

= Honor Code  = This Honor Code summarizes the Honor Policy, which defines the expected standards of conduct in academic affairs. The Honor Council is the school body charged with enforcement of the Honor Code. The student body and faculty at JFKS will not tolerate any violation of the Honor Code.

The purpose of this Honor Code is to communicate the meaning and importance of academic integrity to all members of the school community and to articulate and support the interest of the community in maintaining the highest standards of conduct in student learning. JFKS embodies a spirit of mutual trust and intellectual honesty that is central to the very nature of learning, and represents the highest possible expression of shared values among the members of the school community. The core values underlying and reflected in the Honor Code are:
 * ** Academic honesty ** is demonstrated by students when the ideas and the writing of others are properly cited; students submit their own work for tests and assignments without unauthorized assistance; students do not provide unauthorized assistance to others; and students report their research or accomplishments accurately,
 * ** Respect ** for others and the learning process to demonstrate academic honesty,
 * ** Trust ** in others to act with academic honesty as a positive community-building force in the school,
 * ** Responsibility ** is recognized by all to demonstrate their best effort to prepare and complete academic tasks,
 * ** Fairness ** and equity are demonstrated so that every student can experience an academic environment that is free from the injustices caused by any form of intellectual dishonesty, and
 * ** Integrity ** of all members of the school community as demonstrated by a commitment to academic honesty and support of our quest for authentic learning.


 * “As a JFKS student, I will conduct myself with honor and integrity at all times. I will not lie, cheat, or steel nor will I accept the actions of those who do.” **
