Greetings from Mrs. Goodwin

The school year is going extremely well!  We have just closed out our first nine weeks of school.  I’m amazed and thrilled at the excitement I see in our students each morning.  They enter the school every day with a smile and an eager desire to learn.  They are happy and well prepared.  When we ask them, “Why do you come to school?” they reply “to learn”, and when we ask “What will you give?” they know the most important part of school is “effort”.  I am very proud of the work ethic I see in this body of students and for that I thank you, the parents!  Effort trumps just about everything and it is a critical piece in life for success.

On behalf of the faculty, staff and students, I do want to send our sincere thanks for all of the wonderful support you gave us doing our Hoot, Scoot and Boogie fundraising week.  Oak View is truly blessed by a very organized and supportive PTA, our countless numbers of parent volunteers, the donations and the wonderful participation in the Hoot, Scoot and Boogie carnival by a very loving and supportive community.  We are all so grateful and of course, our students are the true benefactors in all of this.  It is truly a huge blessing that we can never take for granted…so again, our sincere thanks to each of you.

This week the Tennessee Department of Education released the annual Report Cards for all schools.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  I will be more than happy to try and explain how the State and Federal Governments look at the effectiveness of schools.  However, and as always, this kind of information is good and probably necessary but also very much broad stroked, so my advice to you is to look and think about your child as an individual learner and to seek out answers to questions concerning his or her individual needs.  The Oak View faculty and staff always look at students in terms of their individual learning needs and strive hard to meet them.  We are always available to you in working together to ensure success for each and everyone.

Thank you for all of your support of Oak View.  We are very appreciative.  Please know that my door is always open.  I welcome your thoughts, opinions and comments.  We believe in continuous improvement and the best service possible to our students and community.

                                                         Sincerely,

Denise Goodwin
