Okay, so freshman year, something happened.

We have this thing called “Freshman Academy” where all the freshmen go. We have our own bell schedule, classes, the only freedom we got was when we were permitted to take certain electives where we actually saw upperclassmen. So anyways, I was doing Spanish homework at lunch with a friend when the Freshman principal came up and was like, excuse me? What’s going on here? And I was like well this is my friend Ashley and we are working on homework here? And then she’s like well are you guys cheating? I said um, no? We were given permission to work on this together. Then she goes, give me these papers. Who’s your Spanish teacher? We told her. She’s like. I’ll see you in my office later. I was like ***?

Then, later, 5th period when I have Spanish, I get called down. Ashley and I walk in and my Spanish teacher comes in also. She’s like. Ms, I gave these students permission to work on the assignment together, and they weren’t copying. It was a long assignment these are two of my BEST students, I would never think they were cheating. They help each other all the time in class. The principal just like ignores it totally and goes well I’m still writing a referral. She gives one to Ash and I’m like so I get one too? And she’s like yes of course. So I’m like great. I take it and walk out.

The next day I complain to my English and Spanish teacher and I guess they fought for me and tried to talk my principal out of keeping the referrals on my record. I don’t know what happened, but I asked a teacher to view my Disciplinary record and she said nothing was there.

My question is, if colleges ask if I have ever gotten caught cheating, or written up, etc. should I say Yes or No? I mean, I don’t know if its still on there because our school is so strict on rules, and I totally wasn’t cheating.

Thanks.
Also if you know how much access colleges have to that information, would be great :)
