Parent-Teacher Conferences

We want your parent-teacher conference to be a success – for you, your child and your child’s teacher(s).  Below are some tips to help you prepare for this important meeting.

• Make a list of things that will help the teacher understand your child better.  For example, any special health needs or problems, outside interests and hobbies, feelings about school, relationships with siblings, ect.
• Make a list of things you want to find out from the teacher.

Parent PTSA

The Oakville PTSA (Parent, Teacher, and Student Association) is a great opportunity for school involvement.  The PTSA serves and supports the education, cultural, and safety programs for the students of Oakville.  The PTSA has many types of fund raisers throughout the year which helps to enable our children to enhance their learning experiences through fieldtrips, reading, math, and community get-togethers during the school year.  Last year’s officers were Kayla Koopmans, Kelly Hawkins, Arwin Brown and Jennifer Crocker.  Volunteers contribute their time to help in the classrooms for student achievement.  Please call Kayla Koopmans at (360) 273-2092 to become part of making our Oakville schools successful for all.
