Dress Code Reminders
Students are expected to dress and be groomed in such a way as to not distract or cause disruption in the educational program or orderly operation of the school. Personal appearance of students should promote health and safety, contribute to a climate conducive to teaching and learning and project a positive image of the District to the community. Students should dress for the educational setting and not the recreational one.
Follett Destiny Discover
Follett is used by students and teachers to access all of Oakview's print and digital library resources.
Sign Up for Parent Backpack
