Students are prohibited from making phone calls with their electronic devices anywhere within the school. A teacher, at their
discretion, may allow students to use electronic devices in the classroom, if the use of these devices has been incorporated into
the teacher’s lesson plan.
RESPECT FOR PROPERTY
We are all responsible for the care and maintenance of our shared environment. Students are expected to take pride in the
appearance of our school and its grounds. Snack and lunch garbage should be placed in the appropriate bins. It is a criminal

OUT. Do not arrange to have your friends visit while you are at school. Students will be held responsible for the behaviour of
anyone that they invite or bring to school.
NO MORE BULLYING: AN MGCI COMMITMENT
We believe that everyone should enjoy our school equally and feel safe, secure and accepted, regardless of colour, race, gender,
sexual orientation, popularity, athletic or artistic or other ability, intelligence, religion or culture.
WHAT IS BULLYING?
Bullying is an action by a group or an individual causing embarrassment, pain or discomfort to another. It can be one event or a
series of incidents. It can be face to face or behind someone’s back (including Internet or e-mail). Bullying can be verbal,
physical or relational. It causes pain and cannot be excused as “normal” or teasing. The victim is NEVER responsible for being
a target of bullying.
EXAMPLES OF BULLYING BEHAVIOUR
• Physical - shoving, hitting, poking, tripping, ‘birthday beats’, knocking books out of a person’s hands
• Verbal - name-calling, belittling, making unkind, suggestive or abusive remarks
• Relational - shunning or excluding someone, spreading rumours, making false accusations, interfering in friendships
• Property - vandalizing or theft
• Initiation Rituals - forcing someone to do something embarrassing or hurtful
• Teasing/ Taunting/Joking - humiliating or cruel “jokes” at another’s expense
• Cyber bullying - offensive e-mails to or about an individual; creation of hurtful or demeaning Internet material.
NO BULLYING BEHAVIOURS ARE ACCEPTABLE BETWEEN OR AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL
COMMUNITY. BULLYING IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ANYWHERE ON SCHOOL PROPERTY, OVER THE
INTERNET OR ON THE WAY TO AND FROM SCHOOL!

1. Informal interview: with teachers
2. Parent involvement: parents contacted for their support and participation in monitoring and changing behaviour
3. Formal interview: team conference to develop a behaviour plan
4. Outside Agency Involvement: when necessary, other agencies will be involved to support school efforts for behaviour
modification (e.g.: Social Service Agencies, Police, Children’s Aid Society, etc.)
5. Detention: during lunch or after school – if beyond regular school hours (4:00 p.m.) parents will be informed
6. Withdrawal from class: temporary withdrawal from class for alternate supervision
7. Student Services Involvement: School or Board support personnel to assist in altering student behaviour
8. Suspension of privileges: access to certain activities or locations denied
9. Restitution: compensation for damage or theft – monetary or alternate forms
10. Behaviour/Performance contract: documented between student, parents and school
11. Suspension: according to Ministry regulations and Board Policy
12. Expulsion: from Garneau or from all TDSB School according to Ministry Regulations and Board Policy
6ATTENDANCE and PUNCTUALITY
Parents/Guardians are asked to call the school at 416-396-2410 and follow the prompts if a student is going to be late or absent.
LATES
Attendance is taken at every class and students are expected to be in the class on time. On the day of their return to school,
students who have been absent must bring an explanatory note signed by parent/guardian, or an official appointment card: e.g.:
court appearance letter, medical appointment card, etc. Lateness may be explained by a parental phone call to the Main Office
with a follow-up note.
ABSENCES
Sign-in/Sign-out: All students must have their SAC card with them to sign in or out of school. Students under 18 who have to
sign out should bring a dated and signed note from their parent/guardian on that day to the Main Office. Contact will be made
with parent/guardian for students who do not have a note. If we are unable to contact a parent/guardian, the student will NOT be
allowed to sign out. On returning to school, students must sign in.
LOCKERS/HALLWAYS/CAFETORIUM
You must use your assigned locker. Locker sharing is not permitted. Ensure that your locker number and lock combination are
recorded by your Home Form teacher. Outerwear should be kept in your locker. Valuables or large sums of money should not be
brought to school or kept in lockers. The administration reserves the right to open lockers at any time with or without
permission of students.
The second and third floors and the hallway in the Arts/Physical Education area are out of bounds during class time.
Eating/drinking is permitted in the cafeteria, and on all floors of the school. Eating/drinking is NOT permitted in the stairwells.
Students are expected to place all garbage in the receptacles provided. Students who do not clean up after themselves
may not be permitted to eat anywhere in the school building. Please do not block the entrances/exits with chairs. Music is
permitted (with earphones) in the cafeteria and hallways.
LIBRARY
Library books are signed out using your SAC Card. Students are encouraged to use the Library for quiet study and research.
Students are expected to return books by the due date and pay for lost or damaged library materials.
COMPUTER USE
Students must follow conditions outlined in the Acceptable Use Agreement form. Consequences for computer software theft and
copyright infringement laws range from a suspension, termination of computer use and/or police charges.
Every student at Marc Garneau has their own unique login account that includes network storage space and a print quota. All
login accounts are remotely monitored and you are responsible for any inappropriate use of your network account. To log into a
Garneau computer, you are required to have a User ID/Name and Password. Your user name is your 9-digit student number.
Your password will be reset to your shared secret password and will expire every 42 days. Your shared secret password is the
last four digits of your student number, followed by the day and month of your birthday. Always use four digits for your
birthday, using leading zeroes where necessary. For example, of your birthday is February 1, enter 0102
Example:
Your Student Number = 123 456 789
Your Birthday = February 1
Your Shared Secret Password = 67890102
Our current network supports a print quota management system to control laser printing costs by setting and managing student
quotas on printers used throughout the school. Students have 50 MB storage space and a print quota. If students need more print
pages added to their print quota, they should follow the following steps:
- Go to the Library from Monday to Thursday during lunch period from 11:50 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. There will be a print
quota desk staffed by student volunteers.
- Pay one of the student volunteers for the number of pages required ($5.00 for 50 pages; $10.00 for 115 pages; $15.00
for 175 pages, $20.00 for 250 pages).
- Obtain a receipt as proof of payment from the volunteers.
- The student’s print quota will be credited within 48 hours.
Print quotas are portable between TDSB schools and can also be carried over from year to year.
7EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
It is a wonderful idea to enrich your high school experience by participating in extra-curricular activities. To participate in any
clubs, groups, or representative teams, you require a SAC Card. You must be passing 3 out of 4 courses, have good attendance
and must have purchased the student package which gives you full access to all clubs and teams.
LOITERING/FIRE ALARMS
You are expected to keep stairways, doorways and stairwells clear.
You must leave the building immediately when the fire alarm sounds. Students are to stay clear of the school building and
driveways and must move to the Field south of the Portable Classrooms. Misuse of the fire alarm is a criminal offence and
may result in charges being laid and require financial restitution.
LOST & FOUND
Lost items are kept in the main office. Items not claimed by the end of each semester will be donated to charity.
STUDENTS AND CHILD CARE
While the school administration recognizes the fact that some students are parents or have to care for their younger brothers and
sisters, school policy forbids bringing babies and children to school. Alternative arrangements must be made for the care of these
children.

STUDENT ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION POLICY
(Taken from the TDSB Growing Success Document)
The Purpose of Assessment and Evaluation is to improve student learning.
• Assessment and evaluation is based on the provincial curriculum expectations and the achievement levels outlined in the
Ministry curriculum documents for each discipline and the Provincial Planning and Assessment Policy. In the TDSB, there
is an expectation of fair, consistent and transparent assessment, evaluation and reporting strategies. Assessments and
evaluations are designed to provide students with multiple, positive opportunities to demonstrate their learning skills and
works habits and their understanding of the curriculum expectations.
• Communication will be ongoing throughout the academic year, and students and parents/guardians are invited to
communicate with the subject teacher regarding student progress.
Reporting on Student Achievement of Curriculum Expectations is ongoing.
• 70% of the mark will be based on evaluations conducted throughout the course.
• 30% of the mark will be based on a final evaluation in the form of an examination, performance, essay and/or other method
of evaluation suitable to the course content and administered towards the end of the course, usually in the final 4 to 6 weeks.
• Learning skills will be assessed and reported separately from academic achievement (unless identified as a curriculum
expectation in a specific subject.) The learning skills categories are: Responsibility, Organization, Independent Work,
Collaboration, Initiative and Self-Regulation.
Students have Responsibilities in the Assessment Process.
• Regular and punctual attendance is linked to successful results and is essential for optimal learning and effective assessment.
It is the student’s responsibility to communicate with the teacher about any absences. Students are responsible for ALL
work missed.
ENSURING THE COMPLETION OF FINAL EVALUATIONS ADMINISTERED TOWARD THE END OF
THE COURSE (30% OF THE GRADE)
The Purpose of the Final Evaluation is to reflect student achievement based on curriculum expectations.
In order to ensure that students meet due dates, teachers will:
• Establish clearly on paper the expectations and evaluation criteria for the task/assignment. Typically, these expectations are
to be set out in the course outline.
• Help students to get an even better picture of the task by providing frameworks such as: exemplars, rubrics, checklists and
planners.
• Provide formative opportunities during the development of the assignment through teacher and peer feedback and, as
required, parental support.
• Take pre-emptive actions throughout the process to help students who predictably struggle with the completion of tasks and
contact parent/guardian for assistance and support.
In order to ensure that students meet due dates, students will:
• Seek clarification and feedback throughout the development of the assignment.
• Use time management strategies to set targets for the completion of the task.
• Inform parent/guardian of assignments, due dates, expectations and consequences for late or non-submission.
• Bring documentation from parent/guardian that a need exists for an extension of the due date.
• Notify the teacher of the need for an extension prior to the actual due date.
10Establishing Due Date Extensions
• The teacher, in consultation with the students, may be able to set a new due date.
• If a new due date has been agreed upon, the assignment will be marked without penalty.
• Further extenuating circumstances can be considered on a case-by-case basis.
ENSURING THE COMPLETION OF EVALUATIONS CONDUCTED THROUGHOUT THE COURSE (70% OF
THE GRADE)
Since the purpose of evaluation is to improve student learning, students are expected to complete all evaluations at the
established time.
In order to ensure that students complete all evaluations, teachers will:
• Inform students in advance of the evaluation date(s) and time(s).
• Outline material to be evaluated.
• Return evaluations in a timely fashion.
In order to ensure that students complete all evaluations, students will:
• Record the evaluation date(s) and time(s) in their agenda book.
• Clarify material to be evaluated.
• Inform the teacher in advance of any absences due to prior commitments and make alternative arrangements in advance of
that absence.
When students are unable to complete an evaluation at the stated time and day, students will:
• Submit, upon returning to school, a note for the unforeseen absence, e.g. bereavement, court appearance, verifying that a
parent/guardian is aware that an evaluation was missed.
• Submit, upon returning to school, a doctor’s certificate, if required, for an emergency illness or injury.
• Obtain approval, in advance, from the Principal/Vice-Principal for any other activity.
• Report to the Main Office if late for an evaluation, e.g. examinations, performances or demonstrations. There is no
obligation to provide extra time. In the case of an examination, students will not be admitted if the exam has been in
progress for one hour.
Failure to provide the necessary documentation or obtain approval will result in a mark of zero.
ENSURING ACADEMIC HONESTY
Students are expected to be academically honest by submitting their own original work.
Academic Dishonesty includes but is not limited to:
• Plagiarizing (i.e. copying) an essay or another research assignment in which whole sentences, paragraphs, or images are
taken directly from either a book, magazine, newspaper article, Internet source or from another student's work, without
writing the material using his/her own words or the citing of references.
• Sharing answers with or copying answers from another student during an evaluation.
• Having "cheat notes" in any form, including electronic devices during an evaluation.
• Altering work that has already been evaluated in order to increase the mark.
In order to ensure academic honesty, teachers will:
• Review and clarify the four areas of academic dishonesty.
• Determine if a student has in fact been academically dishonest.
• Determine plagiarism using any available tools, e.g. Internet, computer software eg.Turnitin.com
• In consultation with the CL, determine whether a warning or penalty is appropriate.
In order to ensure academic honesty, students will:
• Seek clarification about the four areas of academic dishonesty.
• Prepare well for all assignments and evaluations.
• Avoid behaviour, which may cause suspicion of academic dishonesty in all assignments and evaluations.
• Ensure that all work is original.
• Cite sources accurately and consistently.
11ESTABLISHING PENALTIES
When academic dishonesty has been established, certain consequences may apply:
• A rewriting of the work under supervision in the case of plagiarism.
• A mark of zero.
• The involvement of a parent/guardian.
• A referral to the administration.
• Suspension from school.
• All students who face the consequences of plagiarism or cheating have the right to appeal the teacher’s decision to the
Principal/Vice Principal
The consequences of academic dishonesty far outweigh any potential benefit(s) to the student.
THE EVALUATION OF LATE AND MISSED ASSIGNMENTS
Students must understand that there are consequences for incomplete, missing and late assignments
• Students must make themselves aware of each due date and the ultimate deadline which is the last opportunity a student has
for submitting an assignment for evaluation.
• Teachers support students in the development of their learning skills and work habits that make them successful learners.
• Helpful strategies a teacher may use include: counseling the student and offering extra help; setting up a student contract;
helping students develop better time-management skills; conferencing with students and parent/guardians; making
accommodations and modifications suggested in the student’s IEP where applicable; and providing alternative forms of
assignments.
• Student must advise their teacher when a challenge will prevent the student from submitting work on time. The teacher will
use professional judgement and consider extenuating circumstances for individual students.
• When a significant number of strategies have been tried, marks may be deducted up to and including the full value of the
assignment.
