Plagiarism Pledge

I have received instruction about what plagiarism is and is not. I have read
the family handbook and know the consequences of plagiarism, and that it
is a serious offense. I understand how to avoid plagiarism, and pledge to
abstain from any form of plagiarism in my course work at Furlow Charter
School.

From the family handbook:

Cheating will not be tolerated at FCS; students who cheat will be disciplined subject to the
discipline schedule.
Plagiarism is the act of claiming the work of others (ideas or words) as your own. It is academic
dishonesty and, like other forms of cheating, hurts the student who engages in it. Also, it diminishes
the efforts of students who did the hard work of learning and creating to then have their ideas and
words stolen. Students must always cite their source material. When advisors are concerned that
students have committed plagiarism, they may submit student work to an anti-plagiarism website
such as Turnitin.com. Students who willfully disregard the plagiarism policy may be disciplined
subject to the discipline schedule. (FCS Family Handbook)
