Does your school have a handbook? Our kids school has one that clearly states the rules and punishments for just about everything. My son is a freshman and about a month ago he was in trouble for giving another student the answers in algebra class (right in front of the teacher no less). They both got an F on that assignment, my son got corporal punishment for it and the other boy got corporal punishment and 3 days of ISS (in school suspension)!
Lesson learned...the hard way!!!

It's best to have a discipline plan that the kids sign at the beginning of the semester. That way they know what the consequences will be for any rules they break. Post the rules in your classroom. Make sure the kids and parents all sign a contract with you. When they do break a rule, keep a written record of it and turn a report in to the office with the signed student contract. That's the best way to get the office to back you up when you ask them for help with discipline, especially in repeat situations.
In this case, you may not have a contract in use. Now is the time to start one. Call it a discipline plan and have one for each of the students you caught cheating. I'd keep in mind what they were cheating on too. Was it a daily assignment or a big test?
A great way to avoid the copying issue altogether is to have students do group work. Just be sure you assign a different task for each student so nobody has the chance to slack off. It can't hurt to kppe you eye on them too.

Divide the grade amongst all of them. If the grade is an 80% and 4 were cheating that is 80/4= 20% each. Then give them each and independent question or project as required makeup work.
Notify parents, and other teachers, and put them on notice of disciplinn if caught again. (3 day - suspension)

First follow the school's policy. I have been known also to make them retake it alone afterschool. Each student at a different place. This the places the pressure on them. I also give them a harder test. This usually curbed the desire to cheat.

There are established rules for each school. Consult your student handbook and implement it. Usually, the student gets a failing grade in that exam.

I give my students automatic zeros if they're caught cheating. I don't tolerate it in any way. My students know about this on the first day of school, and they have seen that I stand by my policy. They're 3rd graders.

If it's an exam or long test, obviously, flunk them. In my Uni, you'll flunk the course already and you'll get a sanction. If it's a small quiz, seatwork, homework or project, give them a big deduction. You're the authority figure.

Pretend that you saw nothing....Nowadays there is plenty of information , although JJRousseau and Erasmus of Roterdam have said that children should learn according to their aptitudes..So the brain is exhausted of information..and of the pretentions of education..I prefer to ask students their personal opinion, and these cannot be copied from one another, and this makes them understand the book.
