Discipline & Safety Policies
The following policies are in place to ensure the safety, well-being, and academic integrity of all students at Oakview Preparatory School.
Leaving the Premises or Classroom
Students are not permitted to leave the school premises during school hours without written permission from a parent or guardian and prior approval from the school administration. Any student who leaves the school building or grounds without authorization will be subject to disciplinary action.
Students may not leave the classroom without the teacher's permission. A hall pass must be obtained before leaving the classroom for any reason. Students found in the hallways without a pass will be escorted back to class and the incident will be reported to the administration.
In the event of an emergency requiring a student to leave school early, the parent or guardian must come to the school office to sign the student out. Students will not be released to anyone other than those listed on the emergency card without prior written authorization from the parent or guardian.
Continuous Disciplinary Problems
Oakview Preparatory School expects all students to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the school's Christian values and code of conduct. Students who repeatedly violate school rules or exhibit persistent behavioral problems will be subject to progressive disciplinary measures.
The disciplinary process may include verbal warnings, written notices to parents, parent-teacher conferences, detention, suspension, or in extreme cases, expulsion. The school administration will work with the family to address the root causes of behavioral issues and develop a plan for improvement.
Parents and guardians are expected to cooperate fully with the school in addressing disciplinary concerns. Failure to respond to school communications or to support the school's disciplinary efforts may result in the student being asked to withdraw from the school.
Damage Caused by Students
Students are responsible for the proper care and use of all school property, including textbooks, equipment, furniture, and facilities. Any student who willfully or negligently damages school property will be required to pay for the repair or replacement of the damaged item(s).
Damage to school property must be reported to the teacher or administration immediately. Attempts to conceal damage will result in additional disciplinary consequences. Parents or guardians will be notified of any damage caused by their child and will be held financially responsible for the cost of repairs or replacement.
Vandalism, graffiti, or deliberate destruction of school property is a serious offense and will result in suspension and possible expulsion, in addition to financial restitution.
Medication
Oakview Preparatory School does not permit the self-administration of prescriptive or non-prescriptive drugs. School personnel may NOT administer medication of any kind. This is a parent/guardian responsibility.
Only medical personnel are permitted to administer medicine upon written request of parents. In case of sickness, the parent/guardian will be notified immediately. Emergency procedures will be followed as outlined on the student's Emergency Card (yellow card). This must be kept current and the proper vital information must be readily available.
The school will cooperate promptly and deliberately to ensure the well-being of the child. Any student found in possession of or distributing medication without authorization will be subject to immediate disciplinary action.
Probation
A student may be placed on academic or behavioral probation when their conduct or academic performance falls below the standards expected by Oakview Preparatory School. Probation is a formal notice that the student's continued enrollment is conditional upon demonstrated improvement.
During the probationary period, the student and family will meet with the administration to establish clear expectations and a timeline for improvement. Progress will be monitored closely, and regular updates will be provided to the family.
If the student fails to meet the conditions of probation within the specified timeframe, the school reserves the right to require the student to withdraw. Probation is intended as a supportive measure to help students succeed, and the school will work collaboratively with families throughout this process.
