Student Code of Conduct
The following serve as guidelines of what is expected of students in our online
learning environment.
• If I identify a security problem in the school's computers, network, or Internet
connection, I will notify a system administrator.
• I will use an email address that is appropriate for an educational environment
as determined by Wisconsin eSchool Network administration or I may be forbidden
to participate in Wisconsin eSchool Network courses.
• I will disclose to my teacher or other school employee any message received that
is inappropriate or makes me feel uncomfortable.
• Wisconsin eSchool Network assumes no responsibility for any phone charges, line
costs or usage fees for connectivity to the Internet.
Families should be warned that some material obtained via the Internet may contain
items that are potentially illegal, defamatory, inaccurate, or offensive. On a global
network it is impossible to control all materials and an industrious user may discover
controversial information, either by accident or deliberately.

Academic Honor Policy
1. I understand and agree that all work submitted must represent my original ideas
and/or I will appropriately cite all relevant sources if it is not completely original.
Failure to do so can result in receiving a failing grade for the assignment and
possibly for the course. I may be required to complete the assignment without credit
in order to continue in the course.
2. I understand that no one other than me can complete any portion of an assignment,
activity or exam or make revisions to an assignment, activity or exam. Doing so
may result in a failing grade and my immediate removal from the course.
3. I understand that I may be assigned proctored assessments, oral quizzes in person
or on the phone or be asked to discuss the process used in research for a project
or paper. These are standard assessment tools in online courses. Most courses have
a proctored semester exam or culminating activity. It is my responsibility to contact
the eSchool office and give advance notice of proctored assessments or tests to
set up an appointment
4. I understand that if I am not able to pass the semester exam, credit will not
be awarded for the course no matter what grades I earned throughout the course.
(Alternate assessment methods may be used at the discretion of the local district
based on individual needs.)
Drop Window and Trial Period
1. I understand that online courses may not be a good fit for everyone. I may drop
the course on or before two weeks from the date of my “First Day of Class” session
without consequence.
2. I understand that I am taking a place in an online course that is valuable and
that I am going to do my best to complete all assessments on time and communicate
with my teacher
3. I understand that I may be administratively dropped for any of the following
reasons:
a. I do not successfully submit at least one appropriately
completed assignment within 7 calendar days of completing my “First Day of Class”
session. (Submitting the pace chart does not count as meeting the requirement for
the first week.) If technical problems occur, I am expected to work those out during
that first week by accessing technical support. If I have questions regarding the
content, I should communicate frequently with my online teacher particularly during
this first week.
b. If I am not ON PACE by the end of the second week in
the course, and have not been making sincere efforts to get up to speed.
Course Progress Expectations
1. Attendance for my eSchool course is measured by successful completion of assignments
and activities, communication with my teacher, participation in discussion threads,
and any other teacher directed activities and interaction with the online lessons.
2. I understand that the minimum attendance requirement means that I must appropriately
complete and successfully submit at least one assignment every week. Failure to
do so for any 3 weeks within the semester may result in my being removed from the
course with a W/F.
3. I understand that all assigned work needs to be completed according to the Due
Dates provided on my Pace Chart.
4. I need to plan and work ahead if family or personal activities will limit course
activities at any given time.
5. I understand that any assignments submitted beyond the due date may not receive
full credit. Points may be deducted for late assignments. Blank submissions are
not considered submitted assignments.
6. I understand that I am expected to communicate with my teacher on a regular basis
and read any emails the teacher sends.
Technical Support – Local and How to “Submit a Ticket”
• You can email the teacher or if you are not able to reach them or resolve your
problem, contact your local eSchool office.
• To “Submit a Ticket” for technical assistance go to the following website: http://help.flvs.net.
You will identify your User Type as a “Global Services Client”.
I have read and understand the eSchool expectations and consequences listed above
and agree to abide by them. Failure to do so may upon investigation result in consequences
up to and including being terminated from the eSchool.
