Oak View Review

be kind

Hello Eagle Families, This week, we continue to embrace the values of kindness and respect, creating a safe and nurturing environment for all our Eagles as we soar on WINGS.

As we begin Women's History Month, let us be inspired by Maya Angelou's wisdom: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

                                           Mrs. Adams

Oak View's NWF Garden

Campus Cleanup Day

As we look forward to spring, we're excited to invite you to join us for our family spring cleanup day. On March 29, from 9 to 12, we'll be rolling up our sleeves to tackle some projects like weeding and picking up any trash that has accumulated around the campus.  Let’s get together and make our campus look beautiful!  Please bring gloves and any shovels or rakes that you may have available. Scouting and other groups are welcome.  We’re happy to sign off on volunteer hours for secondary students, as well.

Our rain date will be April 5, and if you sign up on our Sign Up Genius we can let you know any updates on the morning of the cleanup.  If you have any questions, you can reach out to Oak View’s Get2Green Coordinators: Kim Andray and Amy Riddick.  We look forward to seeing you there and working together to make our school grounds shine!


Early Dismissal, March 17

Mark your calendars! The next early dismissal is scheduled Monday, March 17, at 12:15 p.m. Supervision will be provided until 3:15 p.m. for families who have pre-arranged childcare with Oak View. If your dismissal plans for the March early release differ from the last early dismissal in February, please watch for an email with a Google Form to submit any changes.


Kate Messner book

Kate Messner Author Visit

Kate Messner will be coming to Oak View on book tour! If you’d like to order a signed copy of the book, please order on MySchoolBucks.

As part of this FREE author visit, we are required to order all books through the school. Please do not purchase your book through another retailer. Kate will be visiting multiple schools on May 5, and will sign the books off-site before coming to Oak View, so we can only guarantee books ordered through the school will be signed. Ordering is always optional.

See more information on our website.


Ramadan Observation

Ramadan Mubark. If your student is observing Ramadan, please fill out this Ramadan Participation Questionnaire so we can support, if needed.

Students who are fasting during the school day between February 28 and March 28 can now take school meal kits home at the end of the day. Families will need to fill out a weekly Fasting Meals Request Form. A separate form must be filled out for each week and each student. Visit the FNS webpage for more information, including weekly request forms and deadlines.


Spring SOL Testing Dates

For your planning purposes, the 2025 Spring SOL schedule can be found on our website. Please avoid absences and appointments during this time, when possible.
