Eighth Grade

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to eighth grade — the culminating year of the Oakview Preparatory Seventh-Day Adventist School experience! I am honored to guide your child through this important milestone and am committed to making this year both challenging and memorable. Eighth grade is a year of preparation and celebration. Students will complete advanced coursework in all subject areas, develop strong research and presentation skills, and engage in meaningful service projects that reflect our school's values. We will also focus on college and high school readiness, helping students articulate their goals and develop the habits of mind needed for future success. I expect a great deal from my eighth-grade students — and I know they are capable of meeting every challenge. I encourage you to maintain high expectations at home as well, supporting your child's academic efforts and celebrating their achievements. Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday. Assessments are held regularly throughout the week. Book reports are due on the 15th and 30th of each month. As our senior class, eighth graders are expected to model leadership and excellence for the entire school community. Thank you for the privilege of teaching your child in this final chapter of their elementary education. I look forward to celebrating their growth and accomplishments throughout the year. God bless you.
