Get Involved, join the PTA!
PTA membership envelopes have been sent home in the open house packets. We encourage all parents/guardians to join, not just one per household. Membership is only $6 per member. With your membership, you will receive the Oak View telephone directory. Our goal this year is to have 100% of Oak View families and teachers join the PTA. Remember that "Stand Out Schools Have Stand Up PTAs!" So please "Stand Up" for Oak View by joining the PTA today! Please contact Jennifer Koberg, jenkoberg@yahoo.com or Nancy Rummel, nwrummel@aol.com with any questions.
