Ramadan Observation and Meal Kits
If your student is observing Ramadan during school hours, please fill out this Ramadan Participation Questionnaire so we can coordinate on both a prayer schedule and a lunch alternative location for them, if needed.
From February 18 to March 19, students who are fasting during the day can take school meals home. These kits include one breakfast and one lunch to be eaten after the school day ends. Visit the Food and Nutrition webpage for forms, deadlines, and other information.

PTA Kindness Night, Thursday, February 19
💚 PTA Kindness Night is this Thursday, February 19 from 6:30–8:00 p.m., and all students and families are invited! (Please note that this is not a drop off event.)
Join us for an evening of giving back as we pack weekend food bags for food-insecure students at Frost Middle School, create friendship bracelets, and write thank-you notes to community helpers and first responders.
To help the night run smoothly, we’re also looking for volunteers! Shifts are short, so you can lend a hand and still enjoy the event with your family.
Volunteer here: Oak View PTA: Kindness Night Volunteers
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated from our Amazon Wishlist — your generosity is making a meaningful impact! 💚
