Oakview has been incredibly blessed with a supportive parent and community network. Our PTA logs over 40,000 hours of volunteer work annually, contributing to the success of many school projects. We deeply appreciate the continued support from parents, families, and the wider community.  One NEW support Oakview has created for parents is Instructional Supports, a unit by unit resource for math and reading with videos and activities parents can use at home with their children.

Remember, you don’t have to volunteer inside the school to make a big difference! Research shows that students with strong home support systems are more successful academically, have better attendance, and develop stronger social skills. Here are a few ways you can support your child at home:

• Read Aloud – Even if your child can read independently, continue reading aloud to model fluency.
• Mental Math on the Go – Turn car rides into a math game. Look for numbers on signs, and practice addition, subtraction, or multiplication.  Look for geometric shapes or lines that intersect or are parallel to each other.
• Money Skills – While shopping, ask your child to round prices to the nearest dollar, estimate the cost, or calculate how much more is needed to reach a whole number.
• Cooking Together – Follow recipes, and practice math by doubling or halving ingredients.  Follow multi-step directions.  Talk about solutions vs. mixtures.
• Letter Writing – Write a note for your child to read and respond to, incorporating weekly spelling words or stems for extra practice!  Talk about the parts of a letter.

For the children,
Dr. Phillip Reavis
