Principals Corner
Hello families,
It was so wonderful to see SO many families at our fall conferences! Your partnership in your child’s education is the KEY to the success of your child(ren). Our goal is to have 100% of our students have a conference with a parent and/or guardian. We are so close! If you were not able to schedule a conference, please reach out to your child’s teacher directly.
On Tuesday, October 17th, Oak View is hosting our first restaurant night at McDonald’s. What a fun way to enjoy dinner and get to know other families in our school community.
Reminder: There is no school on Thursday, October 19th and Friday, October 20th.
Students in grades 2-12 will take the mySAEBRS assessment this fall and again this spring. The mySAEBRS assessment, which stands for Minnesota Student Academic Behavioral Rating Scales, is student self-evaluation. It provides valuable insights into areas such as social skills, emotional well-being, and behavioral strengths and challenges. This assessment helps us gain a more comprehensive understanding of your child's needs, allowing us to better support their growth and development. For more information about assessment items and questions asked click here. If you would like to opt your child out of this assessment, please complete the Parent/Guardian Refusal for Student Participation in Districtwide Assessments/Testing.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
Warm regards,
Ann Mock, Interim Principal
