Code of Conduct

Oakdale is an outstanding school. We hope to ensure each child a positive learning experience that enhances self-esteem and fosters fellowship among the parents, students, teachers, and staff. This information outlines the rules that will govern student behavior at school. Having read this information please acknowledge the attached document through the online process by marking that you have read and understand the code in the appropriate area. Thank you.

 

Suggestions for parents:

1.   Speak positively about school, schoolwork, and teachers in front of your child. Ask questions such as what are you learning in Math today?  What was the most fun thing you did today?  What questions can you think of about Reading?  These will often be more helpful than “How was your day?” or “What did you do today?”

2.   Contact your child’s teacher immediately with questions or concerns. All staff want to work with you. Teachers will let you know their office hours and best times to contact them. 

3.   Please check your child’s backpack or work folder each day for notes and

      homework. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

4.   Please, make sure that your child is at school ON TIME each day. 

5.   The school is not allowed to administer any medications, even an aspirin, without 

      written doctor approval.

6.   Please call Oakdale to report all absences.  Parents should come into the school                                                

    when  checking a child in or out of school. Please do not check out your child after 

    3:00 p.m. as school dismisses at 3:30 pm. 

7.   Support learning and your children will follow your example

**Oakdale students may use the office phone in case of an emergency with a note from their teacher. Exceptions may be made to this policy with permission from an administrator, usually as part of a 504- plan or IEP for a medical reason with a doctor’s note.  The school will not be responsible for preventing theft, loss of, or damage to cell phones or smart watches brought to school. **
