For example: Students are expected to bring their own lunch.
I have so far translated that in different ways, but I am not happy with any of the forms I found. Let´s see if my colleagues will come up with something that will satisfy me, for which I´d greatly thankful.

deverão
" Os alunos deverão trazer o almoço"
Neste caso "to be expected to" significa "should" . É este o modo mais usual de dizer a frase em Português. Também pode utilizar "devem", mas neste caso soa a uma ordem (Imperativo).
