If you are joining us at One Spark Academy, we welcome you! We want to provide you an environment that is inclusive, safe, healthy, considerate, and positive at all times, but we need YOUR help to accomplish this goal. Please review the following expectations and provide us your word that you will follow these guidelines to the best of your ability*.
1) I will use considerate, kind, and respectful language and gestures around others at all times.
2) I will follow any requests by instructors or parent volunteers (if needed) to collaborate respectfully, stay on task, work quietly and/or productively, or stay in a certain location.
3) I will be safe. I will not run inside the building (except in the gym) or loiter in the restrooms. I will be sure to inform an adult in charge if I am leaving the classroom and/or area at any time. I will use the Internet safely and for instructional purposes as well.
4) I will wear appropriate clothing for the day. My clothing won’t be too distracting, offensive, or revealing. If in PE or playing other sports, I understand athletic clothing and shoes are required (see Teen Center requirements).
5) I will avoid playing in the game room or gym during any instructional time. The game room and gym may be used before classes start, during break time, during the first half-hour of lunch, and after the close of classes at 2:30. Although the Teen Center is available for community use by 7th graders and above, from 2:00 on, I understand OSA students must not use these areas (outside of break time) until 2:30 when on the premises, even if not enrolled in a class at that time. Gaming/TV equipment and vending/candy machines may not be used at any time during the instructional day (8:30-2:30).
6) I will be prepared with a healthy snack and substantial lunch daily (if lunch is not purchased). There is a half-hour for lunch daily, and lunch is to be consumed during that time. I will make an attempt to eat healthy foods! I will not bring: soda, fast food, candy bars, or similar junk foods. Home-baked or similar treats in moderation are fine, as long as accompanied by a healthy lunch.
7) I will be mindful of the waste I create, whether it is food, materials in class, snack bags, and/or plastic water bottles.
8) I will clean up after myself and around the area where I’ve been working, whether it is after break, after lunch, or after class. I will help ensure the Teen Center game room is picked up.
9) I will clean out any locker I am using every Thursday (or on the last day of the week I am on the premises). I understand I may keep my belonging in the lockers Monday-Thursday.
The Thousand Oaks Teen Center has the following requirements:
- No black-soled shoes may be worn inside the gym at any time.
- No throwing of sports of equipment or balls in an unsafe manner, or at someone who is not playing the game. Use of any equipment must follow the rules of any game being played.
- Follow any requests for safe play by Teen Center staff.
*We reserve the right to deny services to anyone whose choices infringe upon the rights of any other participant to enjoy their learning as it was intended.
