On behalf of the entire Oak View community, we're thrilled to have our students and staff back in school! We were greeted with countless smiles and wonderful stories about Winter Break and snow day adventures. Thanks for sending us your Snow Day pictures. Students enjoyed watching the slide show in their homerooms during arrival. So many photos looked professionally done, I was impressed! With another forecast of snow on the horizon, we're curious to see what Monday will bring.
We're excited to see what each and every day of the remainder of the school year holds!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Adams
