I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share an important update regarding my role at Peak Prep Pleasant Valley School.

After a period of thoughtful consideration, I have decided to transition from my position as the Principal of Peak Prep Pleasant Valley School to a new role within Peak Prep. I am excited to announce that I will now be serving as the Director of Operations for Peak Prep. This decision was not made lightly, and it comes with mixed emotions. I have cherished the time I've spent as the Principal of Peak Prep, working with our dedicated staff, wonderful students, and supportive parents. However, this new role presents an opportunity for me to contribute to the overall growth and development of Peak Prep on a broader scale.

Rest assured, I remain fully committed to ensuring the success and well-being of all our students. My focus will now extend to supporting the operations and initiatives across the entire Peak Prep school system. I am excited to continue working closely with all of you in this new capacity, and will continue to send weekly or biweekly newsletters in order to keep everyone informed!

I want to express my gratitude for the trust you have placed in me during my time as Principal, and I look forward to the continued collaboration and partnership as I embark on this new journey as the Director of Operations.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.

Warmest Regards,

Mrs. Sabrina Ciolino

Every day a student is absent is a lost opportunity for learning. Too many absences not only can affect achievement for the absent student but also can disrupt learning.

If your student will be absent for any reason please let your Homeroom teacher know ASAP!

To access your courses, you will first need to log into your Peak Prep Student Gmail account that we have created for you.

If you need assistance, please email Julie.Harkey@peak-prep.org

All work submitted is to be completed ONLY by students. Students are responsible for observing the standards on plagiarism, cheating, and properly crediting all sources used during the composition of work. Failure to abide by these standards is reported to the appropriate administrative authorities. It may result in a conference with the parent, loss of credit for high school courses, revoked access to course(s), and suspension or expulsion from the school.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is defined as the act(s) of copying another writer's words, ideas, images, sounds, signs/symbols, and thoughts and presenting them as your own.

Cheating

Cheating involves the act(s) of using, accepting, or distributing test answers, answer keys, or presenting another person's work as your own. Any student found cheating is in violation of the school's Academic Integrity policy.

The First Offense:

1. The student receives no credit for the assignment

2. The teacher fills out a "Notice of Cheating Offense" form, makes three copies, and keeps the original for their file. The teacher distributes the copies to:

1. Parent/Guardian (by mail)

2. Counselor

3. Principal

3. If the teacher deems the assignment to be a major assignment and the offense requires premeditation (e.g., submitting a major paper that has been plagiarized), the student forfeits double the value of the assignment.

4. At the teacher's option, the student is given an additional assignment such as writing a statement about the incident, which the teacher keeps on file.

5. If the teacher, counselor, or principal deems the offense to be a major offense (e.g., stealing test or quiz materials, changing a grade in a teacher's record), the student may be suspended on the first offense.

Second Offense

1. The consequences listed above in the "First Offense" shall be applied.
2. Student, teacher, and parent meet with the student's counselor and/or principal to discuss causes and appropriate consequences.
3. Since AP and Honors courses are more rigorous, if the student's second offense occurred in an AP or Honors course, the student may be removed from the course and placed in a regular college prep course.

• Commit to working on your courses daily (M-F)
