Oakview Elementary School

A Message from Dr. Reavis

Welcome back to a brand-new school year at Oakview Elementary School!

We are thrilled to begin the 2026–2027 school year with our students, families, and staff as we embark on another exciting journey of learning, growth, and achievement. Our theme, “Owl Aboard – Excellence Ahead!”, captures the spirit of our Oakview family as we set our sights on high expectations, meaningful learning, and success for every student.

We look forward to working together to make this a year filled with curiosity, connection, and countless opportunities to shine. Parents and families, please review the Back-to-School Details shown below for important information to help your family prepare for a smooth and successful start.

Together, let’s get Owl Aboard and make excellence the destination!

For the children,
Dr. Phillip Reavis
