2016-17 Parent-Student Handbook Acknowledgement

I have been notified that I may access a copy of the Student and Family Handbook on the school’s website (ihsnola.org). I am aware that
I am responsible for reading the handbook in its entirety and for knowing the contents of the handbook. As a student of IHSNO, I must

ACADEMIC HONESTY & INTEGRITY POLICY 2017 – 2018

International High School of New Orleans expects all students to abide by ethical academic standards. According to International
Baccalaureate Diploma Program Guidelines, Academic Honesty in the IB Educational Context, academic honesty is “making
knowledge, understanding and thinking transparent”. The purpose of IHS Academic Honesty and Integrity Policy is to provide

students, parents, teachers, and faculty with regulations that promote academic honesty in defining what constitutes academic integrity

and academic misconduct; establish clear procedures in the event that academic dishonesty and misconduct occurs; describe the rights,

roles, and responsibilities of all members of the school community; and hold all members of International High School of New Orleans

accountable to the Principled core value of the IB learner profile. At International High School, administrators and teachers understand

and firmly believe that academic dishonesty damages the ethical character of a student and undermines the integrity of the IB Learner

profile.
