Principal's Report
On behalf of the faculty and staff at Oakview Elementary School, welcome back to school! In particular, I welcome our new families and trust you will soon discover that Oakview is indeed a "Habitat for Learning!" This year, we will 'Make a Positive Connection"! I would also like to welcome our new employees to the Oakview family. Click here to view our 'Oakview's Newest Members' newsletter to meet our staff.
The Lazy Days of Summer?
While you relaxed on the beach, attended summer camp, or sat by the pool, things were busy at the school! Here's just a few of our summer activities:
- Faculty and staff participated in dozens of workshops at the annual GCS "Summer Academy" or at "Summer Skill-It", Oakview's own summer teacher workshop series.
- A new pedestrian area was created at the main entrance walkway which will serve as the location for the bricks Oakview sold last year
- GCS paved our front driveway and resealed/striped our front parking lot! Yippee!! No more pot holes!
- Our wonderful building services team cleaned the building (120,000 square feet)
- A new PA system was installed in the cafeteria
I could go on but you get the idea. It's been a busy but productive summer at Oakview! Now that things are in place, it's time for another amazing school year. We look forward to making a positive connection with YOU this year!
