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.

Requirements of parents of all newly enrolled students

Once an offer has been extended, all parents of newly enrolled students are required to satisfy certain requirements before their child can be formally enrolled in Ocean Charter School.

  • Attend a new parent orientation.
    • This orientation will give you an opportunity to meet school officials as well as members of the faculty. You will be given an overview of our two campuses and learn about how the school is governed. We will also review key policies, major school events and provide an opportunity for you to get answers to your questions during a formal Q&A session.
  • Complete new student registration on time.
    • If you accept an offer of enrollment, you will be asked to complete online student registration and submit additional enrollment documents to Ocean Charter School by the deadline provided.
      • Proof of birth which may include Birth Certificate or Passport.
      • A completed physician’s health examination form. You can obtain a blank copy of the Report of Health Examination for School Entry – PM 171 A from the OCS administration office or by going online to the California Department of Health Services
      • Original immunization records.
      • A current, signed copy of your child’s IEP/504, if applicable.

What happens if I do not complete my child’s new student registration by the deadline provided?

If we do not receive all completed registration and additional enrollment documents by the specified deadlines, your child’s enrollment will be withdrawn and their space offered to the next wait list applicant.
