  • Mask Opt-Out Form

    2023-2024
  • The Oberle Academy adheres to recommended CDC mitigation strategies including the use of face masks to protect staff and students against the spread of COVID-19. As of March 1, 2022, parents who do not want their child to participate in this effort may opt out. However, face masks are required during transit in school vehicles. There may be times when off-site activities including, but not limited to, field trips or community based learning excursions are planned to enrich and enhance your child’s educational experiences. Students who do not comply with this regulation shall not attend such events.

    I further acknowledge and agree to keep my child home from school if they show any symptoms associated with COVID to include, but not limited to, fever (100.5 degrees Fahrenheit, 37.8 degree Celsius or greater), fatigue, cough, sore throat, congestion, body aches, headache, shortness of breath, loss of taste/smell, nausea, and diarrhea. I will contact the school to report suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 and make arrangements for virtual learning until my child has been cleared to return to in-person learning in accordance to CDC guidelines. In the event my child becomes symptomatic at school, I will make arrangements for my child to be picked up within one (1) hour of being notified.

    A parent or guardian’s decision to “Opt-Out” their child from the masking mitigation strategy no way changes or exempts their child from required quarantines following exposure to a person during the school day who later tests positive for COVID. A parent or guardian may at any time rescind the "Opt Out" status for their child by notifying the school in writing.

    By signing, I authorize the right for my child to not wear a face mask while at school. I have also read and agree to comply with the supplemental terms of this contract as outlined above.

    2023-2024
  • The Oberle Academy maintains a policy of non-discrimination for reasons of race, religion, national origin, gender or handicapping condition. In order to protect the safety and well being of students enrolled in The Oberle Academy, The Oberle Academy requires that certain standards of behavior be present. The Oberle Academy has identified that students who present the following behaviors may not be successful in our program and will not be offered enrollment:

    1. Utilize illegal mood-altering substances.
    2. Exhibit physical or verbal aggressive behavior which could place themselves or others in jeopardy.
    3. Be unable to learn in small, structured settings.
    4. Be unable to independently manage their medication.
    5. Be unable to consistently follow the Code of Student Conduct.

     

    All students who are enrolled are accepted on a 30-day trial basis. The Oberle Academy is most concerned that a student’s placement be appropriate to meet his or her academic, behavioral and transition needs. A student’s performance is measured, documented and reported to parents, referring school personnel and others as requested. A decision as to the appropriateness of the placement will take place within the 30-day trial period. Meeting(s) between The Oberle Academy, the student and parents, referring school personnel and others determined to be integral to the student’s case management may be held to solicit input during this process.

    In addition, State law mandates that the following be provided to The Oberle Academy prior to a student’s enrollment: an up-to-date immunization record and proof that the child has had a physical. Your child will NOT be allowed to attend The Oberle Academy until these items are in his/her student file.

  • BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

  • The Oberle Academy community, including students, parents, teachers, administration, and others, must work together to create and maintain a safe and supportive environment that promotes teaching and learning. Staff have a positive attitude towards their role - that of teaching, not coercing, students. Our staff believes in the empathetic and equitable treatment of all students.

    All students are expected to follow the Student Code of Conduct and, as outlined, certain incidents/offenses (e.g. smoking, bringing a drug/weapon to school, leaving school grounds...) will result in immediate disciplinary action.

    Our behavior management program includes positive strategies designed to help students learn and implement appropriate behavior so that they can avoid getting into trouble. Corporal punishment and abusive techniques and interventions are not authorized, permitted or condoned.

    Besides using the strategies outlined in a student’s IEP, the following continuum of strategies may be used when a student exhibits (and then continues to exhibit) a disruptive behavior:

  • Example: A student is disrupting the class by talking out of turn.

    1. Non-verbal Cues: The teacher will stop presenting the lesson and pause, giving the student an opportunity to stop talking and get back on task. Should the student continue:
    2. Verbal Cue: The teacher will remind the entire class that talking out of turn is disruptive. The teacher will then remind the students how to appropriately ask for assistance. Should the student continue:
    3. Verbal Cue: The teacher will remind the disruptive student that talking out of turn is inappropriate. The teacher will inform the student that he will be relocated to another area in the room if he continues to disrupt his peers. The teacher will ask if he needs help with his work. Should the student continue:
    4. Relocation within the Room: The teacher will relocate the student to another work space in the room. Again the teacher will ask if the student needs help with his work. Should the student continue defying the teacher:
    5. Time Out: The teacher will request that the student be removed from the room for a timeout (not to exceed 30 minutes per incident The time out area shall not be locked nor the door secured in a manner that prevents the student from opening it. During the timeout, the student will be able to communicate and process the incident with staff. Staff shall check on the student at least every 5 minutes and more often depending on the nature of the student’s disability, condition, and behavior. If accommodations are needed to assist the student, they will be implemented. Staff shall document the frequency, duration, and interaction(s) of each time out. Should the student be unable to return to class or, upon return to class, begin exhibiting the same (or similar) inappropriate behavior, (See 6):
    6. In-School Suspension: The student will be placed in In-School Suspension. The student is expected to follow all rules and complete all academic assignments during this time period. He will lose all privileges including off-site activities. Should the student refuse to complete his assignments, continue to exhibit inappropriate behavior and/or defy the school administrator (See 7):
    7. Removal of Student from School by Parent: The School Administrator or designee will contact the student’s parent to remove him from school for the remainder of the day. Should the student become verbally or physically abusive or assaultive (See 8):
    8. Removal of Student from School by Police: The School Administrator or designee will contact the police to remove the student from school.

    As part of our behavior management program, staff documents the behavior of our students. Incidences of negative behavior are submitted on discipline referrals to administration, acted upon, and documented on a cumulative discipline record. This record is submitted to LEA, probation officers, and parents. A daily point system may also be utilized to recognize positive behaviors. Serious incidents as well as chronic behavioral issues are also documented on a student’s weekly report.

    When a student exhibits chronic behavior problems, a functional behavioral assessment is conducted. The information gathered during the assessment help the staff, student and parents identify possible reasons for the problem behavior as well as intervention strategies.

    Our behavior management program strives to decrease a student’s challenging behaviors in the least intrusive manner possible. However, the use of restrictive procedures may be used when the behavior exhibited is dangerous to the student or others around him. In addition, staff may use restrictive procedures when the challenging behavior significantly disrupts the regular activities of students, staff and visitors and when valued property is being damaged or destroyed. Staff has been trained in approved restrictive procedures.

  • PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR STUDENT BEHAVIOR

  • The Oberle Academy community, including students, parents, teachers, administration, and others, must work together to create and maintain a safe and supportive environment that promotes teaching and learning. Staff have a positive attitude towards their role - that of teaching, not coercing, students. Our staff believes in the empathetic and equitable treatment of all students.

    All students are expected to follow the Student Code of Conduct and, as outlined, certain incidents/offenses (e.g. smoking, bringing a drug/weapon to school, leaving school grounds...) will result in immediate disciplinary action.

    Our behavior management program includes positive strategies designed to help students learn and implement appropriate behavior so that they can avoid getting into trouble. Corporal punishment and abusive techniques and interventions are not authorized, permitted or condoned.

    Besides using the strategies outlined in a student’s IEP, the following continuum of strategies may be used when a student exhibits (and then continues to exhibit) a disruptive behavior:

  • School Nutrition Free & Reduced-Price Meals

    2022-2023
  • Children need healthy meals to learn. The Oberle Academy offers healthy meals every school day. Students in the 2022-2023 school year will receive a nutritious breakfast and lunch at no charge. Households are not required to submit a meal application form to receive meals at no charge.

    Although school meals will be provided free to all children, school funding and eligibility for other programs is dependent on completed meal applications. Families are encouraged to submit the free and reduced meal application to assist Oberle in seeking additional funding for continuation of our excellent programming.

    All meals served must meet standards established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. However, if a student has been determined by a doctor to be disabled and the disability prevents the student from eating the regular school meal, the school will make substitutions prescribed by the doctor. If a substitution is prescribed, there will be no extra charge for the meal. If your student needs substitutions because of a disability, please contact the school.

    All children in households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) are eligible for free meals. Foster children who are the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free meals. Students who are eligible for Medicaid may also be eligible for free or reduced-price meals based on the household's income. Children who are members of households participating in WIC may also be eligible for free or reduced-price meals based on the household's income. If your total household income is at or below the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines, shown on the chart below, your child(ren) may get free meals or reduced-price meals. Your child(ren)'s application from each school year is only good for the first few days of a new school year. You must send in a new family application each school year.

  • HOW TO APPLY

  • If you do not receive SNAP or TANF benefits for your child(ren) complete the application and return it to the school. If you do not list a SNAP or TANF case number for the child(ren) you are applying for, then the application must have the names of all students, the names of all other household members, the amount of income each person received last month, and how often the income was received. An adult household member must sign the application and include the last four digits of the social security number. If the person does not have a social security number, check the box provided indicating none. You or your child(ren) do not have to be U.S. citizens to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. An application that is not complete cannot be approved. An application that is not signed is not complete. You must send in a new application each school year.

  • OTHER BENEFITS: Your child(ren) may be eligible for other benefits such as the Virginia children's health insurance program called Family Access to Medical Insurance Security (FAMIS) and/or Medicaid. The law allows schools to share your free or reduced-price meal eligibility information with Medicaid and FAMIS. These programs can only use the information to identify children who may be eligible for free or low-cost health insurance, and to enroll them in either Medicaid or FAMIS. These agencies are not allowed to use the information from your free or reduced-price meal application for any other purpose. Medicaid officials or officials with FAMIS may contact you to get more information. You are not required to allow us to share this information with Medicaid or the FAMIS program. Your decision will not affect your children's eligibility for free and reduced-price meals. If you do not want your information shared, please check the appropriate box in Section 6 of the application. You may qualify for other assistance programs. To find out how to apply for SNAP or other assistance programs, contact the local social service office in your area.

    CONFIDENTIALITY AND NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: School officials use the information on the application to determine if your child is eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals and to verify eligibility. As authorized by the National School Lunch Act, the school division may inform officials connected with other child nutrition, health, and education programs of the information on your application to determine benefits for those programs or for funding and/or evaluation purposes.

    VERIFICATION: School officials may check your eligibility at any time during the school year. School officials may ask you to send information to prove that your child(ren) should receive free or reduced-price meals.

    FAIR HEARING: If you do not agree with the decision on your application or the results of verification, you may wish to discuss it with the school. If you wish to review the final decision on your application, you also have the right to a fair hearing. You can request a hearing by calling or writing the following official:

    REAPPLICATION: You may reapply for free and reduced-price meals any time during the school year. If you are not eligible now but have a change, such as a decrease in household income, an increase in household size, become unemployed or get SNAP or TANF for your child(ren), fill out an application at that time.
