DISCLAIMER of STUDENT HANDBOOK

The laws, School Committee policies, and school rules stated in this handbook are intended to ensure the safe, orderly, and educationally sound operation of Oakmont Regional High School. In addition to these written provisions, there may be times where, to further insure the safe, orderly, and educationally sound operation of the school, the school administration may enforce a standard of conduct upon students that furthers this end. Furthermore, the school administration has the right to enforce any law, ordinance, or school committee policy not written in this handbook. If a new law or ordinance, or school committee policy is passed, it supersedes current rules.
