J-Board
If you see someone cheating, who can you report them to?
Any J-Board member, a teacher, or Mrs. Harrington
You have already taken the assessment, and you show your friend exactly which sections of the textbook the test covered.
Yes! While telling people how a test went or how long it took is okay, you can't give them any information about the test itself.
You don't understand the prompt for an essay, so you plug it into ChatGPT and get inspiration from the Ai-generated response.
Yes! All of your words and ideas should be your own, not AI's. If you're struggling with a prompt, talk to your teacher.
You're having trouble starting your essay for English.
Go to tutorial! Discussing prompts and books with teachers is a great way to get ideas to start your essay. Using reading aids like SparkNotes won't be as helpful.
If you're called to J-Board, what is one thing you could do to improve your possible consequence?
Tell the truth. J-Board always considers whether or not the person in the case lied or told the truth, and this effects how severe their consequence is.
Neither you nor your friend have taken the test yet, and you study together the night before.
Nope! This doesn't violate the honor code.
You share your essay with a friend so they can edit it. Your friend copies some of your sentences and puts them in their essay.
You aren't at fault, but your friend is. If they submit the assignment, they will be passing off your words as their own.
You're getting overwhelmed with all your extracurriculars and school. There's an essay due in a week that you don't think you can finish in time.
Can J-Board recommend expulsion?
Nope! The maximum punishment we can recommend is suspension.
You're about to take a test, and you overhear people from an earlier class discussing solutions to the problems on the test. You don't say anything and take the test as usual.
Yes! If you hear advance information about test materials that could give you an unfair advantage, that violates the honor code, even if it wasn't intentional.
You are working with a tutor on an English essay. The tutor tries to help you by writing a section of the paper for you to get started.
Yes! If you submit the paper, you will be passing off the tutor's words as your own. Make sure to explain the honor code to any outside tutors so they know the school's expectations.
You overheard someone else talking about the answer to the extra credit for the test you're about to take.
Let your teacher know before class starts. They may either decide to let you take the test as is or give you a different extra credit question.
