Proceed with Caution

Oak View wants to encourage families entering and exiting Kiss and Ride to be extremely cautious when approaching crosswalk at bus loop exit. This is where some students/parents cross and had some near misses over the prior weeks with drivers entering and exiting Kiss and Ride. We are in the process of having this crosswalk evaluated by our Office of Safety and Security to protect all students.

Team Challenge Day: October 12

Oak View is excited to host our second annual Team Challenge Day this fall.  This event is one our students greatly enjoy and look forward to each year. We hope you will consider volunteering again as our family volunteers make this event possible! Mr. Corey and Mr. Hutzel have great plans in place and look forward to your support. A google form for sign-ups will be published next week. We will be focusing on the Teamwork trait leading up to the event! Grades K-3 will be before lunch and Grades 4-6 will be after lunch.

Raise Craze begins October 1

Oak View's PTA kicks off a new fundraiser this year based on completion of Acts of Kindness! We are excited for our students to participate in various acts of kindness throughout the event. We look forward to displaying completed acts of kindness throughout the school. Please see the flyer for more information! Funds raised by the PTA support numerous activities throughout our building including teacher reimbursements for supply costs, technology purchases, site licenses for programs like Dreambox and Lexia. In addition the PTA also offsets transportation costs for one of two field trips for each grade level. We appreciate the support of the PTA and donations from families as our educational programs are enriched through this partnership! Thank you in advance as our students pay it forward this October!
