Student Behavior Expectations/Safety Guidelines & Waiver form

Student behavior:

Students will be respectful to all teachers, students and others at all times and will not be disruptive in class. Students will be given one verbal warning, after which they will be asked to sit out the rest of the class so as not to be a distraction. If the behavior continues, parents will be notified, and other measures will be taken. 

Inappropriate behavior, language, or dress will not be tolerated. Clothing needs to be modest, with shoulders, stomachs, and undergarments covered at all times. No vulgar or indecent shirts, or extreme clothing styles should be worn. 

Students will be respectful of the facilities, as we are guests in the buildings, and need to leave the church in the condition it was found in. Students will also be careful of other student’s instruments & belongings, and should ask permission before using others’ property. 

Students are expected to come to class prepared with all supplies and be ready to learn. Restrooms should be used before or after class to eliminate absence from class. We have limited instruction time, and wish to use it to the fullest. If the restroom has to be used during class, the student should ask permission from the instructor. Students will go to the restroom unescorted, but the Hall monitors will be monitoring student & visitor activity from the hallway.  

Students should not be wandering the building at any time. They should be in class, in the study or social room if they are waiting for another class, or for a sibling, or should be signed out & leave the building with a parent, unless they have driven themselves. Students will sign in & out of OHMI, so in event of an emergency when the building must be evacuated (such as a fire), we can account for all persons after evacuation. Hall monitors will be assigned each time block to facilitate this. 
 
Parents:

Are welcome to sit quietly in the back of class, however, if you have younger siblings with you, we ask that you take them to the social room and keep them occupied there. Parents are responsible for all children not enrolled in OHMI’s program. Parents are also responsible for students who are not in class (i.e. are finished for the day, but have not gone home). Students 10 and older may stay in the social or study room, but children under 10 should be supervised by a parent when not in class.  

In an effort to promote safety for all concerned, OHMI will strive to have 2 adults present in the classrooms during instruction time. 

Waiver of Liability:

      We hold the teachers, directors, and coordinators of Oakland Homeschool Music, Inc. harmless for any injury that might result to a student while attending classes and activities.
