PURPOSE

School Rules are put in place to help keep our campus safe. It is important that both you and your parents and/ or guardian read and understand all of the following rules. Please take these rules seriously.

VISITORS

Visitors are not allowed on campus. Any person having legitimate business on campus must check in at the Marin Oaks office first and get a visitors pass.

OTHER SCHOOL CAMPUSES

Marin Oaks is a closed campus so students are not allowed off campus unless they have permission from the administration to leave. It is a violation to loiter on or around Novato High School campus or any other school campus during school hours. Students in violation of this rule will be subject to suspension and/or police action for loitering.

APPROPRIATE DRESS

Appropriate dress is required of all students. The following Dress Code will be adhered to at Marin Oaks. Students who violate the dress code may be sent home to change, if necessary. Violation of the dress code will result in appropriate disciplinary action. Students' clothing must not present a health or safety hazard or a distraction, which would interfere with the educational process.
