As the temperature dips and leaves change color, we welcome the arrival of fall! It’s time for the pumpkin spice craze and perhaps pulling out jackets for those cool mornings.
In 2005, my wife and I adopted our daughter from China, and her birth name translates to "beautiful autumn." This reminds me each year of how beautiful our children are to us. Things have 'fallen' into place at Oakview: routines are established, and we’re fully engaged in academic content. Thank you for your ongoing support at home.
As we approach the end of the first quarter on October 21, classroom teachers will be holding fall conferences in the coming weeks. These meetings are an excellent opportunity to discuss your child’s strengths and areas for growth, as well as to get to know your child's teacher better.
Let’s continue to celebrate our students’ growth!
For the children,
Dr. Phillip Reavis
