ACADEMIC HONESTY
Saint Genevieve High School demands the academic moral best from each student. Academic dishonesty in any form is directly contrary to our philosophy and goals. Therefore cheating or plagiarism of any kind warrants serious disciplinary repercussions. Saint Genevieve supports the belief that academic honesty demands individual accountability with regard to the submission of student work. Students have a moral responsibility to others and themselves to avoid cheating. Honesty is the primary responsibility of each student. Saint Genevieve considers cheating to be a voluntary act for which there may be reasons, but for which there is no justification.
The school will follow these steps. However; in extremely serious cases students may be immediately placed on probation, suspended or expelled.
1. First Offense
- A zero is given for the assignment
- Disciplinary referral is issued
- Conference with parents is required
- Student is placed on probation
- Student loses any St. Genevieve scholarship
- Student may be removed from any leadership position or may be barred from being a candidate for leadership.
2. Second Offense
- Student is required to withdraw from school
Cheating/Plagiarism
Receiving or supplying unauthorized information; copying the work of others or permitting your work to be copied; possession of unauthorized materials during an exam; changing the answer after work has been completed; copying and submitting the assignment of another students; or permitting the copying of homework, assignment or project of another student.
ACADEMIC DISMISSAL
A student who receives (three) semester “F’s during the school year may be asked to leave the school. A student below a 2.0 GPA for two consecutive semester may be asked to withdrawl. Any student who has incurred one or more “F’s” in a semester and fails to make up the credit in summer school may not return for the following school year. Summers school courses should be taken in conjunction with the Curriculum and Guidance Offices to ensure completion of graduation requirements.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP
All families are to alert the drivers dropping off and picking up their children that they are to be respectful and courteous to other drivers and our neighbors. No one is to block the driveway of our neighbors. Arrangements are to be made to have students picked up within 20 minutes of dismissal or any practice they are involved in. Students who are not involved in an activity are not permitted to remain on campus.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION FORM
It is the responsibility of each parent/guardian to keep emergency cards and information up-to-date. Whenever there is a change of information, for example, with an address or phone number, the information is to be reported promptly to the school.
FAMILY TRIPS
The administration discourages families from scheduling vacations during the school year; however family emergencies can arise. Parents should contact the Vice-Principal of Academics to indicate specific reasons for the trip and excuse of absence. If permission is granted, the days absent are excused and apply towards the ten (10) days maximum allowable before credit may be denied or grade reduced. Students are issued a Trip Form to present to teachers and obtain signatures and assignments. It is the responsibility of the student to make up all class work, assignments, quizzes and tests. Failure to make up work may result in loss of credit. Failure of parents to notify the administration may result in the days absent being "unexcused." Students with unexcused absences will not be allowed to make up missed work.
TARDINESS
Tardiness is defined as the arrival on campus after the first period has begun or the arrival in class after the bell has rung to begin class (student must be in his/her assigned seat). Tardiness is disruptive to the educational process. All tardies will be considered unexcused. Tardies are cumulative, counted for every class, and cleared at the semester.

FINANCIAL EXPECTATIONS
Saint Genevieve High School is grateful to all parents/students who take their financial obligations seriously and meet them in a timely manner. For the school to meet its financial obligations, it is necessary that tuition and fees be made on time. Examination permits, grades and diplomas may be withheld if all financial obligations are not cleared. The school may also deny the privilege of attending the prom and/or graduation. The school reserves the right to withhold tests and diplomas until all financial, scholastic and disciplinary obligations have been met.
DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
A student may not take Mid-Term or Final exams unless tuition is current. Quarter and Semester exams must be made up within three school days or an “Incomplete” grade becomes an “F”. If the account is delinquent for 30 or more days the student may not attend school or participate in school events as spectator or participant. In the event of financial crisis, seek assistance at the Business office at least five days prior to your payment due date. The school may also deny the privilege of attending the Prom and/or Graduation if tuition and fees are not current. The school reserves the right to withhold transcript and diplomas until all financial obligations have been met.
RETURNED CHECKS
There is a $25.00 penalty for check returned by the bank, as Non Sufficient Funds. Money orders will be required for all future payments.
LATE PAYMENTS
There is a $30.00 penalty for all payments that are made (10) days after the due date. This includes payments returned due to Non Sufficient funds.
TUITION COLLECTION
Tuition collection is done through SMART Tuition Management Services. Tuition and fees provide a limited percentage of the total cost of operating the school. Fiscal responsibility requires that tuition and fees be paid as set and in a timely manner. There will be a $30.00 charge for late payments.
TUITION ASSISTANCE
In addition to our own Scholarship awards St. Genevieve High School participates in the Tuition Award Program, funded annually from the Education Foundation through the Department of Catholic Schools. If financial assistance is needed, forms may be obtained from the Main Office. Forms are available in January and due in March.
