A Message from Dr. Reavis

As the temperatures dip and the leaves begin to change, we welcome the arrival of fall! It’s time for pumpkin spice, cool mornings, and jackets pulled from the closet.

In 2005, my wife and I adopted our daughter from China. Her birth name loosely translates to “beautiful autumn,” which reminds me each year of the beauty and joy our children bring into our lives.

Things have truly fallen into place at Oakview! Our routines are established, and students are fully engaged in learning. Thank you for your continued support at home. We are grateful to partner with you throughout the school year! As always, please refer to our web site and follow us on social media to keep up to date with the many happenings at Oakview!

For the children,
Dr. Phillip Reavis

This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to give back to our community with all donations benefitting the Harvest Hope Food Bank.

Students may bring in non-perishable food items to donate
All items should be sent to your child’s classroom first so they can be counted
After counting, items will be collected and taken to the designated collection boxes in the cafeteria

Class Competitions & Incentives:

Every class across the school that collects at least 100 items will earn 15 minutes of extra recess
The class that collects the most items overall will receive extra recess AND a donut party!

This year, we will have a friendly competition between K-2nd and 3rd-5th grades! The totals for each group will be added together daily to track the competition and the winning group at the end will earn a Glow Dance Party!
