SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS

The purpose of these expectations is to promote an appropriate learning environment at Marin Oaks High School and to support a positive image of yourself.

Come prepared with pen or pencil Learning to think ahead about what is needed on the job is a skill that all of us have to emphasize. In order to complete a task, you need the proper tools.

Cell Phones, iPods, MP3 Players, and Other Electronics Items that have no useful purpose at school are not to be brought on campus. Violation of this rule will result in confiscation of the item(s). Cell phones are now allowed on campus but may only be used during break and before and after school outside of the school buildings.

Cell phone must be turned off during class time. Should a staff members' attention be drawn to the cell phone, or electronic device, it will be immediately confiscated for the class disruption.

No food or drink in the classrooms
Food is to be stored in your backpack, not on a table or next to your desk, not on cupboards or on the floor outside the room. Plan ahead so that you can close/store food and drink in your backpack and still get to class before the tardy bell. Water (clear, not colored or with sugar additives) is the only exception to this expectation.

No swearing or inappropriate language
You will be asked to leave the class without credit if you use inappropriate language in the classroom or hallway. Be aware of what you say. Think before you speak!

No inappropriate dress
Dress as you would as an employee on the job.

  • No hats, beanies, hoods, hairnets, hair rags, ski bands, bandannas or any other head covering is to be worn in the classrooms, hallways, gym or cafeteria. No dangling belts, chains, spike collars and bracelets. No sunglasses. No grills.

  • Personal parts of the body should be appropriately covered. Clothing with holes in inappropriate places or bare midriffs are not permitted. Extremely short skirts or shorts are not permitted. Outer clothing must cover undergarments at all times.
