Oakwood School

Students' Role

The students are the reason we are all here at Oakwood. Our purpose is to nurture, motivate, and challenge all students to reach their optimum potential. The school provides an exciting and academically stimulating place to grow, and we expect all students to take advantage of this. Students show respect for themselves and others by treating each other well, being prompt and polite, and doing their very best work.

Of course, any school will have lists of dos and don’ts (and ours are in the appendix), but when in doubt about what to do or how to behave, each student should ask him or herself, “Is what I am about to do showing respect?” If the answer is not “Yes”, then the student should find alternatives. Logical consequences and positive reinforcement, as well as attention to the social, academic, and emotional needs of the individual, help Oakwood students prepare for their future roles in society. All students are required to abide by the policies and procedures contained in this Handbook.
