Kindergarten & 1st Grade Registration
Even though the initial window ended last week for kindergarten and first grade registration, it is not too late! Please stop by the school office ASAP to register your kindergarten or first grade student for the 2016-2017 school year. Current kindergarten students at Oakview do not need to re-register for first grade. Please contact the school office if you have questions. All registration paperwork is posted on the school's web site at http://www.greenville.k12.sc.us/oakview/main.asp?titleid=registration

Math, Science, and Technology Night

Oakview’s Family Science, Math, and Technology Night is next Thursday, February 11 from 5:00 - 7:00pm! It’s not too late to add it to your calendar! This is a drop-in event, so come when you can and enjoy the activities at your leisure. Participate in three fantastic activities on your child's hallway! Then visit the art and music rooms for another activity, the gym to view science fair projects, outside to look through a telescope, and the cafeteria to see local businesses and even complete two more activities! That's not to mention the ticketed virtual field trips and Star Lab events! Hope to see you there!

Spring Book Fair Coming to Oakview!
We invite you to visit our book fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families an opportunity to promote a love of reading. We will be open on a special family night this year!
