What if Your Child is Accepted to OCS

The foundation of Ocean Charter School’s success is its community of dedicated parents, educators and administrators working collaboratively to meet the needs of the students. To help you learn more about OCS, we ask parents of newly enrolled students to become familiar with our curriculum, school policies, governing institutions as well as key activities.

Key Commitments to Know Right Now

• A commitment to our home media policy. We ask you to agree to limit your child’s exposure to electronic media influences such as television, movies, video games, etc. during the school year. Reduced access to home media provides a home environment that is conducive to learning.
• Adherence to the student dress code.
• Active involvement in the Ocean Charter School community. Many OCS activities depend on the active support of parents volunteering either their time or their resources.
