Here's a way-out-there idea: there are two Ozpins and the real Ozpin knows about it. The other one is an LMD (Life Model Decoy), basically a humanoid robot with an animatronic face. It looks like Ozpin, sounds like Ozpin and can do a decent job of acting like Ozpin but it is really just a wind-up-and-go duplicate. It can perform limited tasks but it doesn't really respond like him.

This robot is being used for an extra-credit test. Some of the youngsters will be smart enough to realise that there is something 'off' about the Professor sometimes. Ozpin is going to leave a trail of metaphorical breadcrums; not to easy to find but they'll be there if they really look and use their brains. If they're smart, they'll follow the trail and, before the end of the year, bust into the Headmaster's office to confront the duplicate. They'll need to get past Glynda to do so but, if they make it all the way to the finish line, Ozpin will take off the robot's face-plate, congratulate them on their perspecuity and give them an extra 100 achievement points each.

If I'm right, at least part of the first season will be RWBY following said trail of breadcrums despite Weiss's insistance that they're going to get themselves in trouble and possibly killed... or worse expelled!
