Academic Integrity
METRO ACADEMIC AND CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL
STATEMENT OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Metro has extremely high regard for academic integrity and, as such, has zero tolerance for any and all forms of academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to, all forms of cheating on any assessments, essays, or assignments (copying, taking pictures, group chats with answers, etc.), plagiarism, and any other unethical academic behavior. Any student in violation will receive no credit (zero/F letter grade), a family meeting will be scheduled, and a notation of the violation will be in the student’s school record.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as Chat GPT, has the potential for misuse and often borders on plagiarism. At Metro, we utilize Turnitin to disrupt plagiarism and ensure the integrity of ALL student work. If it is deemed that a student has used any AI tool to complete an assignment, the student will receive no credit (zero/F letter grade), a family meeting will be scheduled, as well as a notation of the violation in the student’s school record.
Any academic dishonesty violation will affect recommendations written by the school for any student applying for post-secondary institutions, scholarships, and other educational programs.
SLPS 2024-2025 Student Code of Conduct Handbook
Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use:
AI can enhance student learning experiences and support the achievement of learning objectives. Student use of AI tools will have a focus on using them to take ownership of their learning and development. We value student agency in SLPS and seek to foster a collaborative learning environment with the use of technology and technology tools and applications.
.
AI tools will only complement, not replace, human instruction and support. As such, the use of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc.) is permitted in St. Louis Public Schools for the following activities:
Ø Brainstorming and refining ideas;
Ø Fine tuning research questions;
Ø Finding information on a topic;
Ø Drafting an outline to organize thoughts; and
Ø Checking grammar and style.
The use of generative AI tools is not permitted in this course for the following activities:
Ø Impersonating you in classroom contexts, such as by using the tool to compose discussion board prompts assigned to you or content that you put into a formal class assignment/project.
Ø Completing group work that your group has assigned to you, unless it is mutually agreed upon that you may utilize the tool, and clearly defined by the instructor which components may use such technology.
Ø Writing a draft of a writing assignment.
Ø Writing entire sentences, paragraphs, or papers to complete class assignments.
Students are responsible for the information submitted based on an AI query. Student use of AI tools must be properly documented and cited. Any assignment that is found to have used generative AI tools in unauthorized ways will be subject to disciplinary actions, including but not limited to assignment resubmission, assignment failure, or course failure. If in doubt about permitted usage, please ask for instructor clarification.
Teachers play a critical role in facilitating meaningful interactions and providing individualized support to students using AI tools and must adhere to all district policies and regulations regarding the collection, storage, and use of student data when using AI tools. Protecting student privacy is paramount in use of technology.
