Academic Integrity
K-12 Honor Code
“A key mission of the Blind Brook School District is to instill integrity and teach students to be ethical and responsible members of society. Integrity and honest achievement foster self-respect, trust, pride in one’s accomplishments and actions, and positive relationships. While we aspire to the highest standards of academic excellence, any success without integrity reflects negatively on individuals, our schools and our community, and will not be tolerated. We believe that the responsibility for achieving and maintaining an environment of academic integrity is shared among students, parents, teachers and administrators. We pledge to uphold the five core values of academic integrity: Honesty, Respect, Trust, Responsibility and Fairness. ”
