EXPEDITED RETAKES

Students scoring between 375 and 399 on SOL tests qualify for an expedited retake. This

must be taken within four weeks after Independence Middle School receives the official

score. Contact the School Testing Coordinator for details.

SCHEDULE CHANGES

Every effort to accommodate the course selections of each student is made. Students are

encouraged to make their course selections and alternative selections carefully. Schedule

changes must be done within the first

seven

(

7

) days of school, require parental permission,

conference with a counselor, and possibly permission of the school administration.

CHEATING

Students are expected to perform honestly on schoolwork and tests. The following

actions are prohibited:

cheating on a test or assigned work by giving, receiving, offering and/or

soliciting information

plagiarizing by copying the language, structure, idea and/or thoughts of

another

falsifying statements on any assigned schoolwork, tests or other school

documents

TEXTBOOKS

Students are issued textbooks at no charge. The student is, however, responsible for paying

for lost books or those damaged or worn beyond normal wear. The charge is determined by

the number of years remaining before textbook adoption occurs for that discipline.

LIBRARY/MEDIA CENTER

Circulation Periods

Books circulate for a two-week period and may be renewed twice. In order to provide

adequate selection, students are asked to check out a maximum of two Accelerated

Reader selections (with the exception of the easy readers). They may check out other

materials for pleasure and research purposes as needed, up to a total of five

materials. Back issues of magazines may be checked out beginning in September.

These will have a circulation period of one week with no renewal.

Materials Return

Students are responsible for the return of materials they check out from the library.

It is never wise to count on someone else to return your materials.
