Greenville County Schools is fully committed to preparing our students for their futures. One of the key initiatives driving this effort is Graduation Plus (G+), which starts with our youngest students and continues until high school graduation. G+ focuses on creating college and career ready students who not only graduate from high school PLUS they earn college credits and/or industry certifications which prepare them for the workforce.
At the elementary level, we focus on career exploration and academic preparation. Our counselors help students explore their interests through a Career Interest Inventory, which helps identify activities they enjoy that may lead to future career paths. We also host a school wide Career Day where many Oakview parents come to share their chosen field of work.
In academics, we set annual reading and math goals and track our progress. Recently, our 2nd-5th graders completed the second district benchmark assessment in reading and math. Teachers use these results to guide instruction for their classes. Based on this benchmark data, we are 10% away from meeting our student achievement goal in reading and 6% away in math! Great work Oakview!
We appreciate the support parents provide at home. Simple actions such as reading with your child daily, establishing strong study habits, communicating with teachers, monitoring student grades in Backpack,, and reviewing homework with your child can make a significant difference. Thank you for your continued commitment and partnership!
For the children,
Dr. Phillip Reavis
